The SBND (Short-Baseline Near Detector) Experiment is one of three liquid argon neutrino detectors sitting in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program. MicroBooNE and the ICARUS-T600 are the intermediate and far detectors in the program, respectively.
SBND is a 112 ton active volume liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) to be located only 110 meters from the BNB neutrino source. SBND will record over a million neutrino interactions per year.
By providing such a high statistics measurement of the un-oscillated content of the booster neutrino beam, SBND is a critical element in performing searches for neutrino oscillations at the Fermilab Short-Baseline Program.
