D2: Neutrino Detectors
- Milind Diwan (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
The MicroBooNE experiment is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) placed on-axis to the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. MicroBooNE ran its physics and R&D runs from 2015 through 2021. Its primary physics goal is to contribute to addressing the elusive short-baseline MiniBooNE low energy excess. MicroBooNE records and utilizes both the ionization charge and scintillation...
Liquid argon (Large) is used as active media in several neutrino and dark matter experiments (DUNE, SBND, Microboone, Icarus, DarkSide, DEAP, …). Ionization particles in liquid argon produce free charges and scintillation photons. Both signals are used to perform calorimetric measurements, particle identification and three dimensional reconstruction. LAr scintillation light can be quenched...
The LArTPC technology, in the last decade has witnessed several novelties, preparing the stage for the next generation of large scale long baseline neutrino experiments such as DUNE.
The SoLAr detector concept aims to extend the sensitivities of such detectors to the MeV energy range, and expands their physics reach to precision measurement of solar and supernovae neutrinos.
The core concept...
The power over fiber (PoF) technology delivers electrical power by sending laser light through an optical fiber to a photovoltaic power converter, in order to power sensors or electrical devices.
This solution offers several advantages: removal of noise induced by power lines, robustness in a hostile environment, spark free operation when electric fields are present and no interference with...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment hosted in the US. DUNE is currently under construction and will consist of two neutrino detectors: the Near Detector at Fermilab and the Far Detector in the Sanford Underground Research Facility, 1300 km downstream of the beam source. The Near Detector (ND) will sample the beam...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a long baseline neutrino experiment for neutrino science and Beyond the Standard Model physics, aiming to resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy and measure CP-violation phase. DUNE will also have sensitivity to detect neutrinos from supernovae.
The experiment will make use of four far detector (FD) modules, 1300 km away from the beam line,...
