Description
DUNE is a next generation long-baseline experiment with the key goals to conduct a comprehensive program of neutrino oscillation measurements, search for proton decay in several modes, and to detect and measure the neutrino flux from core-collapse supernova within our galaxy. DUNE will have a far detector that will observe neutrinos after travelling 1300km, where they may have oscillated, and a near detector close to the origin of the neutrinos to make measurements before oscillations have occurred. The near detector design is evolving, the design in my analysis comprises the Near-Detector Liquid Argon (ND-Lar), The Muon Spectrometer (TMS), and the System for on Axis Neutrino Detection (SAND). I have been analysing a new design for the muon window for the ND-LAr, evaluating the impact the energy loss in ND-LAr’s non-sensitive material has on the muon energy resolution, targeting 3% at muon energy 600MeV.
