Description

The focus of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments that

are currently being built is the precise measurement of the neutrino oscillation

parameters which will require good control of the systematic

uncertainties including those of the neutrino interaction models.

A novel three-dimensional projection scintillation tracker will be

the active target of the ND280 near detector upgrade for the T2K

experiment and is being considered as one of the on-axis near

detector modules for the DUNE experiment. This detector features

fine granularity and good timing resolution allowing for better

reconstruction of the final state products of neutrino interactions

on event-by-event basis including the ability to reconstruct neutrons.

Two prototypes took neutron beam data in 2019 and 2020 at the

Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) to study the detector response

to neutrons with energies from 0-800MeV. The response of the detector

was calibrated with in-situ LED calibration system and cosmic ray muons.

The details of the detector response calibration are presented.
