MRI: Development of a Time Projection Chamber and Photo-Multiplier Array to Measure Neutrino Interactions in the MicroBooNE Detector

建议书编号：0821316申请：耶鲁大学NSF项目：PHY？研究人员：Fleming，BonnieTitle：MRI：开发时间投影室和光电倍增阵列以测量MicroBooNE探测器中的中微子相互作用这项建议描述了作为费米实验室MicroBooNE实验的主要部分的液体Ar时间投影室(TPC)和光电倍增管(PMT)阵列的开发。正是随着MicroBooNE TPC和PMT阵列的发展，MinBooNE实验最近观察到的有趣的低能事件的性质可能被解决。此外，液体Argon TPC的研发将为开发更大的系统提供重要的信息和经验，这些系统是在未来费米拉和杜塞尔的实验中充分阐明中微子部分的性质所必需的。

PROPOSAL NUMBER: 0821316INSTITUTION: Yale UniversityNSF PROGRAM: PHY ? ELEMENTARYPARTICLE ACCEL USERPRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Fleming, BonnieTITLE: MRI:Development of a Time Projection Chamber and Photo-MultiplierArray to Measure Neutrino Interactions in the MicroBooNE DetectorThis proposal describes the development of the Liquid Argon time projection chamber (TPC) and Photo-multiplier Tube (PMT) array as a major part of the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab. It is with the development of the MicroBooNE TPC and PMT array that the nature of the intriguing low energy events recently observed by the MiniBooNE experiment may be resolved. In addition, the R&D on the Liquid Argon TPC will provide important information and experience for developing the larger systems that will be necessary to fully elucidate the nature of the neutrino sector in future experiments at Fermilab and DUSEL.
