Description

DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a future long-baseline
neutrino oscillation experiment hosted by Fermilab. Neutrinos will be
produced by the PIP-II accelerator at Fermilab and detected in the
Liquid-Argon Far Detector, 1300km away from Fermilab in the Sanford
Underground Research Facility. DUNE will also host a Near Detector Complex
574m away from the neutrino source at Fermilab, which will contain three
Near Detectors — ND-LAr, TMS, and SAND. The tracking detector for SAND is based on Straw Tubes (STT) with 5 mm diameter straws. A 1.2m $\times$ 0.8m STT prototype has been built to be tested using the particle beam at CERN. In this analysis, we describe a method to understand the performance of the STTs. We show that the overall resolutions are at par with
the requirements for precision measurements of neutrino interaction in DUNE.
