ICARUS DETECTOR

How does a metal set of tanks travel Europe before a hard working American?

THE EVOLUTION OF THIS DETECTOR

• After sitting through several lectures this summer, you begin to think that

Particle Detectors are shot out of Labs around the world and then they are employed at FNAL and CERN.

• This is of course wrong. CMS, ATLAS, ALICE to name a few all are designed for

particular jobs.

• ICARUS is no different to these detectors.

ICARUS IS NOT LIKE THESE

ATLAS ALICE

These three detectors are about particle detection around high speed collisions.

CMS

ONE OF TWO

This a metal volume that will be filled with Liquid Argon. Different operation to the previous detectors and different goals. While CERN detectors confirm the Standard Model and Physics beyond it, this detector has the potential of adding to SM with a fourth generation Neutrino

ABOUT ICARUS

• The Detector was active in Gran Sasso for about three years where it

achieved 3000 CNGS Neutrino events that are under current analysis

• It ran efficiently for three years under a rigorous Physics program
• The ICARUS detector was then transported to CERN where it received

multiple upgrades

• Since then it has traveled from CERN to Fermilab where it is currently being

installed

• It is joining a group of detectors collectively known as the SBN or Short

Neutrino Baseline

• The next step is the DUNE project

THE STERILE NEUTRINO POSSIBILITY

WHAT I DID

• I learned about coding!!
• C++
• ROOT
• Python
• Rassberry Pi
• My best friend for the summer

WHY THE CAMERAS?

WHAT I DID

Tested camera types

• What type of camera would work

best with the task?

Infra red-lights

WHAT I DID

• Once the camera was selected

function scripts were needed

• These were written in Python code
• After that script a script for LED’s on

the cameras was required

• A small realistic model was

constructed to simulate the rigging and lighting of the cameras

SOLDERING THE LEDS

1 camera was tested 1 camera scaled to 16 cameras with LEDs

FROM FERMI TO MY CLASSROOM

Class Room Activity 1

• Blood Spatter
• Using the Rassberry Pi cam collect
• stills or video of dripping blood
• Examine the step by step evolution
• f how blood drops form from

different heights

BLOOD SPATTER ANGLES

• Using some basic Python code
• Create a program that will

generate the Point of Origin

• This is the point that Forensics uses to

determine where the source of blood at a crime scene comes from

• It is found by solving the formula
• Tan(A)=height of source/victim

distance

DETECTOR PHYSICS

• CLASS ROOM ACTIVITY 3
• Make some cardboard cutouts of

CMS and ATLAS

• Set different layers of each detector

at sequential lab tables

• At each station ask What Particle is

detected and make any relevant calculations at the station
