14. What Physics Can We Learn about in SBND from its "Prehistoric Era”?

Jiaoyang Li (The University of Edinburgh)

6/26/23, 4:15 PM

The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is a 100-ton scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detector positioned in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. SBND is an on-surface detector, and will therefore be surrounded by an external cubical sub-detector, the Cosmic Ray Tagger (CRT) system, which is designed to reduce the cosmic ray background. The CRT system...

16. Heavy Neutral Lepton Searches at the Short Baseline Near Detector

The Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab aims to carry out precision searches for new neutrino physics [1]. Being the closest detector of the program to the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is expected to measure an extremely high neutrino flux, allowing for world leading neutrino-nucleus interaction measurements as well as searches for physics...

23. Sterile Neutrino Oscillation Searches using the VALOR Fitting Framework at SBN

Beth Slater

6/26/23, 4:45 PM

The Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme has an extensive physics program where one of the key aims is to investigate the existence of light sterile neutrinos. It comprises 3 LArTPC detectors along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), a muon neutrino ($ν_μ$) beam. The near detector of the programme (SBND) sits at a distance of only 110m from the BNB target; this, along with the size of SBND,...

15. Neutrino Electron Scattering for Flux Constraint on SBND

Brinden Carlson (University of Florida)

6/26/23, 5:00 PM

Neutrino electron elastic scattering is a process with a precisely known cross-section that provides a standard candle for improving our knowledge about the neutrino flux in accelerator-based neutrino beams. This process also has a distinct experimental signature leveraging the kinematics of the scattering process that allows us to directly measure these events. The Short Baseline Neutrino...

17. The UV Laser Calibration System for measuring the electric field in the SBND detector

Shivaraj Mulleria Babu

6/26/23, 5:15 PM

The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is a LArTPC located approximately 110 meters from the target in Fermilab’s Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). It will measure neutrino cross sections and the un-oscillated neutrino flux to reduce uncertainties in the aid searches for anomalous oscillations.

The electric field is one of the key to detect the particle interaction inside the SBND-Time...
