Measurements of neutrino-induced Hyperon production in the SBND

SBND是下一代的液态氩时间投射室实验，也是费米实验室短基线中微子计划的一部分。它将于2024年开始收集数据，由于靠近中微子束源，它将探测到迄今为止最多的中微子相互作用。这将允许稀有过程的第一次精确测量，例如准弹性Cabbibo抑制过程与超子（？）而不是最终状态的核子。学生将致力于选择具有此类过程的信号事件，同时删除可能模仿此类过程的其他类型的交互。SBND是一个表面探测器，分析将需要一个算法优化，以拒绝宇宙μ子背景。学生还将支持调试和数据采集工作。他们将成为一个子系统的专家在他们的LTA在费米实验室，并继续当他们返回兰开斯特。

The SBND is the next generation of the liquid argon time projection chamber experiment and part of the short-baseline neutrino programme at Fermilab. It will start taking data in 2024, and due to the proximity to the source of the neutrino beam, it will detect the highest so far number of neutrino interactions. That will allow for the first precision measurements of the rare processes, e.g. the quasi-elastic Cabbibo suppressed processes with a production of a hyperon (????) instead of the nucleon in the final state. The students will work on selecting the signal events with such processes while removing other types of interactions that could mimic such processes. The SBND is a surface detector, and the analysis will require an algorithm optimisation to reject the cosmic muon background. The student will also support the commissioning and data-taking efforts. They will become a subsystem expert during their LTA at Fermilab and continue when they return to Lancaster.
