VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Guang Yang (Stony Brook University)
February 12, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Speaker: Guang Yang (Stony Brook University)
Title: Securing An Accurate CP Violation Phase Measurement In DUNE
Abstract:
The requirements for a 5 non-zero delta CP violation phase measurement (if CP violation phase = -pi/2) are a wide-band muon neutrino beam, a 1,300 km baseline, an order of 10s kt fiducial mass detector with high particle identification efficiency and low external background. Additionally, the orders of uncertainty should be 2% for the signal and 5% for the background, which requires an unprecedented level of robustness and redundancy in the measurement. Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) plans to achieve this goal. In this talk, I will focus on some key concepts that were initiated by the Stony Brook Nucleon decay and Neutrino group. One of them is a new detector that is capable to detect the final state neutron kinetic energy named 3DST (3D projection scintillator tracker) and others include an idea to move part of the near detector system off-axis transverse to the beamline and employing a 10kt level water-based liquid scintillator detector as a far detector module.
