Description
The goals of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermi Lab, is to
precisely measure neutrino and antineutrino oscillation properties to determine if
charge-parity (CP) symmetry is violated in the lepton sector, thus providing a possible
explanation for the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, and to measure the
neutrino mass ordering. To maximize the neutrino flux in the desired energy range, the
secondary charged mesons produced in the interactions of an intense proton beam with
a target are focused using the magnetic field created by a set of horns. To ensure an
accurate understanding of the beam line and the neutrino flux, it is essential o study
uncertainties stemming from the geometry to these horns. In this study, two geometric
parameters are considered, (i) the eccentricity and (ii) the ellipticity of the inner
conductors. The effects of eccentricity and ellipticity of the inner conductor to the
resulting neutrino flux are presented.
