The international Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab examines the properties of neutrinos, specifically how the flavor of a neutrino changes as it moves through space and matter. The program emerged from a joint proposal, submitted by three scientific collaborations, to use particle detectors to perform sensitive searches for ve appearance and νμ disappearance in the Booster Neutrino Beam. All of the detectors are types of liquid-argon time projection chambers, and each contributes to the development of this particle detection technology for the long-baseline Deep Underground Neutrino Experiments (DUNE).
SBN uses the OSDF to deliver common data inputs for large-scale simulation jobs distributed across the US.
