【 摘 要 】

LAr1-ND is a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) based experiment which will operate in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab, at a distance of 110m from the target. The 112t active volume detector will make precision measurements of the neutrino interaction cross section in argon, as well as forming the near detector for the short-baseline neutrino (SBN) programme at Fermilab. The 4m 4m 5m TPC consists of 2 anode planes, each composed of 3 wire planes, with a central cathode. In combination with the MicroBooNE and ICARUS-T600 detectors, this experiment provides a powerful opportunity to understand observed neutrino anomalies, and has the potential to make precision measurements of oscillations to sterile states. In addition to the physics goals, the detector technology developed and used in this experiment will form an important step towards the future detectors for long-baseline neutrino experiments. The detector design will be discussed in the context of its physics potential, and contribution to future technologies.
