The LBNE Photon Detector
ORAL
Abstract
The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) is a proposed neutrino oscillation experiment with a goal of measuring the orientation of the neutrino mass hierarchy and delta cp in the lepton sector. The LBNE neutrino beam will be generated at FermiLab and be detected by a 34 kton liquid argon time projection chamber located at the Homestake Mine in South Dakota. In this presentation I will give an overview of the motivation for and progress towards designing a photon detection system for the LBNE far detector that utilizes wavelength shifting light guides and silicon photon multipliers to collect light from neutrino interactions.
