DUNE's ability to detect and study astrophysical neutrinos will critically depend on the capability of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) to reconstruct particle interactions that deposit extremely small amounts of energy in the active LAr. MicroBooNE has demonstrated reconstruction capabilities for energy depositions at the ~MeV and sub-MeV scale, which manifest as isolated...
DUNE will be a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that will perform precision measurements of the PMNS mixing parameters, unambiguously determine the neutrino mass order, and discover leptonic CP violation. It also comprises a rich non-accelerator physics program as the detection of supernova neutrinos and BSM physics. The Far Detector of DUNE will consist of four modules, of which...
The NOvA experiment, a long-baseline neutrino experiment, uses two detectors: one located at Fermilab and another at Ash River, Minnesota. The Near Detector, situated approximately 100 meters underground, observes cosmic muons at a rate of ~35 Hz, while the Far Detector, located on the surface, observes cosmic muons at a rate of ~150 kHz. The rate of cosmic muons exhibits seasonal variation...
