Production and installation of wavelength-shifting reflective light enhancers for the Short-Baseline Near Detector
R. Acciarri, L. Aliaga-Soplin, R. Alvarez-Garrote +194
We report on the design, production, and installation of a wavelength-shifting reflective system on the cathode of the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND), a liquid argon time proj…
Efficient Safety Benchmarking via Item Response Theory
Fabio Spagliardi, Mírian Silva, Ayan Datta +3
Safety benchmarks for language models are typically evaluated using static paradigms that treat all items as equally informative for all models, an assumption that is particularly…
Construction of precision wire readout planes for the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND)
R. Acciarri, C. Adams, C. Andreopoulos +192
The Short-Baseline Near Detector time projection chamber is unique in the design of its charge readout planes. These anode plane assemblies (APAs) have been fabricated and assemble…
The Liquid Argon In A Testbeam (LArIAT) Experiment
LArIAT Collaboration, R. Acciarri, C. J. Adams +103
The LArIAT liquid argon time projection chamber, placed in a tertiary beam of charged particles at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, has collected large samples of pions, muons, ele…
Calorimetry for low-energy electrons using charge and light in liquid argon
W. Foreman, R. Acciarri, J. A. Asaadi +60
Precise calorimetric reconstruction of 5-50 MeV electrons in liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) will enable the study of astrophysical neutrinos in DUNE and could enha…
A Novel Electrical Method to Measure Wire Tensions for Time Projection Chambers
D. Garcia-Gamez, V. Basque, T. G. Brooks +5
We present a novel electrical technique to measure the tension of wires in multi-wire drift chambers. We create alternating electric fields by biasing adjacent wires on both sides…
