Project Description

On this PhD project you will work on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) experiment with Dr Nicola McConkey.  SBND has recently started taking data at Fermilab near Chicago in the USA, making it a very exciting time to join the experiment.  The short-baseline program at Fermilab aims to investigate how neutrinos interact with matter and the possibility of sterile neutrinos.  During this PhD you will have the opportunity to contribute to the calibration, data taking and physics analysis of the experiment.
