SUMMARY:HEP Seminar: Avinay Bhat: "Short Baseline Neutrino Oscillations with SBND"
UID:641949@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The Short-Baseline Near Detector\, SBND\, is the near detector of Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino program\, a suite of liquid-argon time projection chambers along the Booster Neutrino Beam designed to address long-standing short-baseline neutrino anomalies and search for sterile-neutrino-driven oscillations. Located close to the neutrino source\, SBND provides a high-statistics\, high-resolution view of neutrino-argon interactions before oscillations are expected to develop\, enabling powerful constraints on flux and cross-section uncertainties for the broader SBN program. In this seminar\, I will discuss the physics motivation for short-baseline oscillation searches\, the role of SBND in electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance measurements\, and the detector capabilities that make these searches possible. I will also describe how SBND’s rich neutrino-argon dataset\, precision reconstruction\, cosmic-ray rejection\, and complementary single-detector physics program support both the oscillation program and future long-baseline experiments such as DUNE.
