Abstract

The double phase Liquid Argon (LAr) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the state-of-art technology for neutrino detection thanks to its superb 3 Dimensional (3D) tracking and calorimetry performance. Based on this technology, the Giant Liquid Argon Charge Imaging ExpeRiment (GLACIER) is proposed to be the far detector for the Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation (LBNO) experiment aiming at studying neutrinos 2300 km away from their production point. We report recent R&D results on the charge readout system for GLACIER and the plans to build the GLACIER demonstrators at CERN.

Highlights

  • With the last mixing angle θ13 measured [1, 2, 3], neutrino physics enters a new era

  • With its first 5 years running with Giant Liquid Argon Charge Imaging ExpeRiment (GLACIER) 20 kton as the far detector, Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation (LBNO) could determine the mass hierarchy to 5σ confidence level (C.L.) over the full δCP range and provide evidence of charge parity violation (CPV) at 3σ C.L. [5]

  • The Liquid Argon (LAr) Large Electron Multiplier (LEM) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is the state-of-art technology for neutrino detection thanks to its superb tracking and calorimetry performance
