The Measurement of Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions

一项研究，以调查提高我们的中微子-核相互作用的知识，以减少目前的系统不确定性水平，这一过程有助于从长基线振荡实验中提取中微子振荡参数。该项目将集中研究高压时间投影室原型，该原型将作为与IC和RHUL共同持有的PRD赠款的一部分而建造。最初的重点将是进一步开发已经到位的软件，以便有效地将带电粒子通过探测器所产生的能量沉积联系在一起（模式识别）。在该项目的后期，原型将用于在CERN的测试束中获取数据，这将使软件性能的定量测试成为可能，并将导致氩质子的横截面测量。这将是对该领域的宝贵和引人注目的贡献。

A study to investigate improving our knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions in order to reduce the current level of systematic uncertainty that this process contributes to the extraction of neutrino oscillation parameters from long baseline oscillation experiments. The project will centre on the study of a High Pressure Time Projection Chamber prototype to be built as part of a PRD grant held together with IC and RHUL. The initial focus will be on developing further the software already in place to efficiently associate together the energy deposits laid down by the passage of charged particles through the detector (pattern recognition). In the later years of the project, the prototype will be used to take data in a test beam at CERN which will enable a quantitative test of the software performance and will lead onto a cross section measurement of protons with argon. This will represent a valuable and high profile contribution to the field.
