Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with the aim of determining the neutrino mass ordering, the possible CP-violating phase in the neutrino mixing matrix as well as the observation of proton decay and the detection of supernova neutrinos. The System for on-Axis Neutrino Detection (SAND) is one of the three detectors of the DUNE Near Detector complex. It is permanently located on-axis and its primary goals are to monitor the beam, perform measurements to control systematic uncertainties for the oscillation analysis, precision measurements of neutrino cross-sections and short-baseline neutrino physics. SAND is composed of a 0.6 T superconducting magnet and an electromagnetic calorimeter made of alternating lead/scintillating fibers layers, both refurbished from the KLOE experiment, a 1 t novel liquid Argon detector - GRAIN - designed to image neutrino interactions using scintillation light produced in Argon by charged particles, and a low-density target/tracker system which allows precise control over the chemical composition and mass of the (anti)neutrino targets. In this talk, the current status of the detector and its performance will be discussed. Preliminary results on momentum and vertex position reconstruction of simulated neutrino events exploiting the different components are also presented.
