Measurements of neutrino physics at the Short-Baseline Near Detector

作为费米实验室短基线中微子计划的一部分，短基线近探测器（SBND）将是在增强型中微子束（BNB）中运行的三个液态氩时间投影仪之一。SBND位于距离BNB中微子源110米的地方，一旦它在2023年开始运行，每年将记录超过100万次中微子相互作用。来自SBND的高统计数据集将能够精确测量氩气上的中微子相互作用，以及确定搜索由超出标准模型的新物理产生的短基线中微子振荡。这个博士项目的目标是在SBND探测器上线后进行调试和操作；开发重建算法，以减少和描述sbd数据；并利用短基线程序的数据来寻找新的振荡现象。

The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) will be one of three Liquid Argon Time Projectors to operate in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) as part of the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino Programme. Situated 110m from the BNB neutrino source, SBND will record over a million neutrino interactions per year once it begins operating in 2023. This high-statistics dataset from SBND will enable precision measurements of neutrino interactions on Argon, as well as definitive searches for short-baseline neutrino oscillations arising from new physics beyond the standard model. The goals of this PhD project are to collaborate on the commissioning and operation of the SBND detector once it comes online; to develop reconstruction algorithms for reducing and characterising the SBND data; and to use the data from the short-baseline programme to search for new oscillation phenemona.
