(#160) Understanding the NuMI Neutrino Flux at ICARUS [Poster]

Abstract

ICARUS at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory430 t fiducial volume liquid argon neutrino detector, On axis of of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), 5.7°(100 mrad) off-axis above the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam. NuMI beam in ICARUS for DUNEOpportunity to measure cross sections of ν and ν interactions on argon in the energy range of 2-4 GeV, relevant for DUNE. NuMI flux predictionFlux prediction is as significant for the cross-section uncertainty as the neutrino interaction measurement itself.
