Description
The SBN program is made up of three liquid argon time projection chambers detectors on the Booster Neutrino Beam line at Fermilab. It will probe neutrino oscillations at the ∼1𝑒𝑉2 scale, addressing tensions pointing to the possible existence of sterile neutrinos. SBND and ICARUS are the near and far detectors at 110 m and 600 m from the source, with a mass of 112 tons and 476 tons; respectively. Being at the surface means that one of the main background sources are cosmic rays. This talk presents a straightforward method common to both detectors to match the reconstructed charge with light read-out information in order to decrease the cosmogenic background and to better identify neutrino induced interactions.
