Abstract

NuPRISM is a proposed intermediate water Cherenkov detector for the T2K and Hyper-K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The detector makes use of the off-axis effect, where the peak energy of the neutrino flux falls with increasing perpendicular distance from the neutrino beam axis. By spanning the 1 – 4 degree off-axis angular range NuPRISM can sample neutrino fluxes with peak energies from 1200 to 400 MeV respectively. These samples can be linearly combined to create an effective neutrino flux, such as the muon neutrino flux at the far detector for some choice of the neutrino oscillation parameters.This proceedings presents the NuPRISM muon neutrino disappearance analysis, showing that this technique is unaffected by mis-modelled neutrino cross-sections. It also presents the electron neutrino appearance analysis, showing the preliminary uncertainty on a measurement of the cross-section ratio at NuPRISM.
