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

提案编号：0821316机构：耶鲁大学NSF物理学？基本粒子加速器用户主要制造者：弗莱明，邦尼标题：磁共振成像：时间投影室和光电倍增管阵列的发展，以测量中微子相互作用的MicroBooNE探测器这一建议描述了液体氩时间投影室（TPC）和光电倍增管（PMT）阵列的发展，作为一个主要部分的MicroBooNE实验在费米实验室。随着MicroBooNE TPC和PMT阵列的发展，MiniBooNE实验最近观察到的有趣的低能事件的性质可能会得到解决。此外，液态氩TPC的研发将为开发更大的系统提供重要的信息和经验，这对于在费米实验室和DUSEL的未来实验中充分阐明中微子部门的性质是必要的。

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.
