Modern neutrino experiments employ hundreds to tens of thousands of photon detectors to detect scintillation photons produced from the energy deposition of charged particles. A traditional approach of modeling individual photon propagation as a look-up table requires high computational resources, and therefore it is not scalable for future experiments with multi-kiloton target volume.

The DUNE experiment expects to make some of the most precise measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters by using a neutrino beam originating at Fermilab and measuring it at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). To accomplish this, novel techniques are being used in both the near- and far-detector designs. Notably, the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) near-detector...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that aims to measure CP-violation in the neutrino sector as part of a wider physics programme. DUNE consists of a near and far detector in a high power wide band neutrino beam. The Precision Reaction Independent Spectrum Measurement (PRISM) refers to the capacity of part of the...
As the role of machine learning methods in neutrino science expands, it is more and more important to have a reliable estimate of the uncertainty of the predictions of such models. Traditional uncertainty propagation does not capture the aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties intrinsic to these models and cannot characterize the models' robustness to out-of-distribution inputs. This talk...
Seeking to harness the power of generative modeling for neutrino physics, we have successfully generated high-fidelity images of track and shower particle event types. We implemented a diffusion model on the PILArNet public dataset comprising 2D images from a simulated Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC). In this presentation, I will outline the methodology behind the score-based...
IsoDAR (Isotope Decay-At-Rest) is a state-of-the-art electron antineutrino source currently under development. Chief among the technical innovations that allow IsoDAR to reach an unprecedented 10 mA of 60 MeV protons is the inclusion of a radiofrequency quadrupole; a linear accelerator that pre-bunches and focuses the beam before injection into IsoDAR’s cyclotron. IsoDAR’s exceptionally high...
