Description
The Accelerator Neutrino Nucleon Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) at Fermilab is designed to measure the final-state neutron multiplicity of the neutrino-nucleus interaction. The ANNIE's Gadolinium-loaded water Cherenkov detector is situated in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. The measurements of ANNIE are crucial for future long-baseline neutrino experiments since a better understanding of the neutrino-nucleus interaction will help to reduce the associated systematic uncertainties. ANNIE is the first neutrino experiment to deploy Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPDs) technology in its detector. It will demonstrate the capabilities of LAPPDs in the water Cherenkov detector with a transformative impact on the photodetection-based neutrino detector technology. In this talk, I will briefly discuss the ANNIE detector system and the experiment's status, emphasizing the recent results.
