Abstract
Neutrino interaction events in the MINERνA detector are visually represented with a web-based tool called Arachne. Data are retrieved from a central server via AJAX, and client-side JavaScript draws images into the users browser window using the draft HTML 5 "standard". These technologies allow neutrino interactions to be viewed by anyone with a web browser, allowing for easy hand-scanning of particle interactions. Arachne has been used in MINERνA to evaluate neutrino data in a prototype detector, to tune reconstruction algorithms, and for public outreach and education. © 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.
