Description
The SciBooNE experiment is the newest neutrino experiment to be built at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), USA. The detector sits on-axis, 100 metres downstream of the target in the Booster Neutrino Beam-line.
Proposed in 2005, SciBooNE began its data run in June 2007 with completion projected for August 2008.
SciBooNE has a number of measurement goals, principally sub-GeV neutrino cross-section measurements in both neutrino and anti-neutrino mode, of interest to the T2K experiment which will begin running in Japan in April 2009.
An outline of the SciBooNE experiment, the construction and commissioning of the detectors, in particular the Muon Range Detector (MRD), will be presented along with a discussion on preliminary work towards making a Charged Current Quasi-Elastic (CCQE) cross-section measurement.
