Description

The liquid argon TPC (LArTPC) is a particle detection technique that provides excellent energy and space resolution and is an optimal tool to study neutrino-nucleus interactions. ArgoNeuT, a 175 liter LArTPC, exposed to NUMI neutrino beamline at Fermilab, has collected thousands of low-energy neutrino and anti-neutrino interaction events. Latest results, including measurements of charged current neutrino cross sections, studies of nuclear effects in neutrino-argon interactions and electron/gamma separation will be presented and discussed.
