The Totally Active Scintillator Detector

Abstract

For baselines of O(1000 km), the rich oscillation pattern at a Low-Energy Neutrino Factory (E ν = 0.5 -≈ 3 GeV ) provides unique performance with regard to sensitivity to CP violation and the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy [1]. A unique neutrino detector is needed, however, in order to exploit this oscillation pattern. The Totally Active Scintillator Detector (TASD) is particularly well suited for this facility. In this paper we give an update on the performance of TASD and discuss the detector R&D program. 10th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories, Super beams and Beta beams
