【Abstract】
The requirements for a five sigma non-zero CP violation phase measurement are a wide-band pure muon neutrino beam, a 1,000 km baseline, an order of 10 kt fiducial mass, high particle identification efficiency, and the orders of uncertainty should be 2% for the signal and 5% for the background. Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is planned to achieve this goal. With a 40 kt liquid argon time projection chamber with a baseline of 1300 km from a wide-band muon neutrino beam in Fermilab make us satisfy most of the requirements. However, systematic uncertainty has to be controlled to a few percent level with something else due to the uncertain factors from the flux, neutrino interaction and so on. A DUNE near detector (ND) system takes this role. DUNE ND will be located in Fermilab with a distance of 574 m from the proton target in the beam line trying to measure the non-oscillated neutrino spectra. It is considered to have a liquid argon detector in front with some numbers of tracking systems behind. In this talk, I will focus on some key concepts that initiated by Stony Brook University Neutrino and Nucleon decay group (SBU NN group). One of them is called DUNE-prism, which proposes to move the ND liquid argon detector off-axis along the beam line so that we are able to measure lower energy fluxes, thus having extra information that can help us escape from the uncertainty of complicated neutrino interactions. Besides, SBU NN group proposed a 3D projection scintillator tracker (3DST), which not only bridges our measurement with other scintillator measurements in the world but also provides neutron detection, neutrino beam monitoring and so on.
中微子振荡实验中,在5 sigma精度下排除CP对称性相位要求一个高能的中微子流, 1000 公里长的基线, 数量级在10kt的探测器, 非常出色的例子辨别系统, 2% 的信号系统误差以及5%的背景噪声误差。 DUNE合作组便正在策划一个可以达成以上要求的实验项目。 DUNE将会在费米国家加速实验室产生高强度粒子流,设置1300 km基线, 4个每个10 kt 的液体Ar 漂移腔探测器。另外一个问题是对于系统误差的控制。它包括了中微子流的误差,中微子相互作用的误差以及探测器的误差。一个近点探测器担当了这份工作。它距离粒子流中的质子靶 574 米。 近点探测器系统由液体Ar漂移腔, 气体Ar漂移腔和一个闪烁体塑料探测器组成;而液体和气体Ar组成的子系统将会沿着垂直于粒子流方向移动30 米。 在这个报告中,本人会着重阐述石溪大学的贡献,包括闪烁体探测器和平移子探测器的些许想法。
