SND@LHC prepares to push the neutrino frontier

The Brief

  • SND@LHC is an experiment designed to study neutrinos, which the description calls fundamental particles with no electric charge and vanishingly small mass.
  • A silicon tracker removed from the CMS detector is being repurposed for SND@LHC.
  • The experiment is preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade.

Why watch · It describes a detector upgrade that reuses hardware from CMS to prepare a neutrino experiment for the High-Luminosity LHC.

SND@LHC, or Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the #LHC, is an experiment designed to study neutrinos – fundamental particles with no electric charge and vanishingly small mass. The silicon tracker just removed from the CMS detector is being repurposed for SND@LHC, as the experiment prepares for #HiLumiLHC.
