Abstract The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation experiment aimed to study neutrino oscillation. Its long-baseline configuration will exploit Near Detector (ND) and Far (FD) located at distance of ∼1300 km. FD consist four Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) modules. A Photon Detection System (PDS) be used detect the scintillation light produced inside detector after interactions. PDS based on collectors coupled Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs)....
Abstract The ICARUS-T600 Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber is operating at Fermilab shallow depth and thus exposed to a high flux of cosmic rays that can fake neutrino interactions. A ray tagging (CRT) system (∼ 1100 m 2 ), surrounding the cryostat with two layers fiber embedded plastic scintillators, was developed mitigate induced background. Using nanosecond-level timing information, CRT distinguish incoming from outgoing particles interactions in TPC. In this paper an overview system,...
ICARUS-T600 is a LArTPC with total mass of 760 tons liquid argon, located at Fermilab along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) 600 m from neutrino source, and 6°off-axis Main Injector (NuMI) beamline.ICARUS will search for evidence sterile neutrinos within Short-Baseline program.In addition it perform measurement cross-sections NuMI beam Beyond Standard Model searches.Being installed shallow depth, ICARUS exposed to large flux cosmic rays, which, if in time beam, could determine an event...
The capture of scintillation light emitted by liquid Argon and Xenon under molecular excitations charged particles is still a challenging task. Here we present first attempt to design device able grab sufficiently high luminosity in order reconstruct the path ionizing particles. This preliminary study based on use masks encode signal combined with single-photon detectors. In this respect, proposed system detect tracks over focal distances about tens centimeters. From numerical simulations it...
The goal of the Short Baseline Neutrino program at Fermilab is to confirm, or definitely rule out, existence sterile neutrinos eV mass scale. searches for $\nu_e$ appearance and $\nu_\mu$ disappearance signals from $\nu_\mu\rightarrow\nu_e$ oscillation in Booster Beamline. interactions will be observed by two Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber detectors near (100 m) far (600 positions neutrino source. Far Detector (ICARUS T600) a high granularity uniform self-triggering detector with 3D...
Recent work to restore and set up the materials exhibited at Museo della Specola of University Bologna provided an opportunity review history two important German instruments from mid-nineteenth century, Ertel & Sohn meridian circle a Steinheil refractor. Purchased by Directors Observatory revitalise local astronomical research, which had gradually declined over years, both have intriguing histories because, despite fact that they were essentially underused, also contributed research...
