Science goal: Enable the study of parameters that determine the matter-antimatter imbalance in the Universe and the ordering of neutrino mass states.
WL involvement: Yale is responsible for the assembly of Charge Readout Planes at Wright Lab and studying the detector response.
Science Goal: MicroBooNE is a short baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab designed to investigate the source of the low energy excess observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, perform a unique set of low energy neutrino cross section measurements, and conduct R&D towards development of massive LArTPC detectors.
WL involvement: Yale’s roles included fabrication and assembly of the TPC and DAQ systems, development of the analysis techniques and tools necessary to analyze the data, and oversight of the collaboration.
A team of researchers and technical staff have assembled and tested the first Charge Readout Planes at Wright Lab for the DUNE experiment.
