The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is one of three Liquid Argon Time
Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detectors positioned along the axis of the Booster
Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab, as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program.
The detector is currently being commissioned and is expected to take neutrino data this
year. SBND is characterized by superb imaging...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) aims to measure neutrino oscillations as well as search for beyond the standard model physics such as baryon number violating (BNV) processes. DUNE will use a 70 kt Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) located more than 1 km underground. A promising BNV process is neutron-antineutron oscillation ($n \rightarrow \bar{n}$) which, if...
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, as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. Located only 110 m from the neutrino production target, SBND is expected to record millions of neutrino interaction events every year allowing neutrino-argon...
The Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab is designed to provide precise measurements of neutrino oscillations using 3 Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPC) built along Fermilab's Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). The Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND), located at only 110 m from the BNB target, will precisely characterize the neutrino flux before oscillations take place,...
The 2x2 Demonstrator is a prototype detector for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)'s Near Detector. Both the 2x2 Demonstrator and the Near Detector itself will have inactive regions wherein there is no sensitivity to charge deposition and light signals that arise from charged particle interactions with liquid argon. In the 2x2, these inactive regions are positioned in-between the...
The Near Detector (ND) of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) allows high-statistics characterization of the DUNE beam close to the source. It is important to understand the capabilities of DUNE ND at the prototyping stage. The DUNE ND Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) prototype, known as the "2x2 demonstrator", will begin data taking in the summer 2024, using the NuMi...
LArTPCs provide sensitivity to GeV signals, such as accelerator neutrinos and part of the supernova neutrino spectrum. TinyTPC is a LArTPC test stand for R&D of LAr doping to is a LArTPC test stand for R&D of LAr doping to expand the reach of LArTPCs down to the 1-10 MeV range, which would substantially enhance the flagship analyses of experiments like DUNE, while enabling low energy analyses....
TinyTPC is a small scale liquid-argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) featuring a pixelated readout system (LArPix) designed to improve the detection of charged particles. To enhance energy measurements at MeV scales, TinyTPC will study the impact of isobutylene, a photosensitive dopant that converts light to charge, and xenon, a wavelength shifter. This presentation will detail TinyTPC's...
