Title: Invisible threads in the cosmic tapestry: A study on neutrinos with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
Abstract: Neutrinos are invisible elementary particles that travel nearly at the speed of light, filling our surroundings at all times. These particles possess intriguing quantum properties and hold the distinction of being the most abundant particles with mass in the universe, playing a foundational role in cosmic processes. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) holds the key to understanding the fundamental properties of neutrinos. Operating within the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, DUNE employs a high-intensity neutrino beam created by a proton accelerator. After protons collide with a target, the resulting charged particles are directed into a decay pipe to decay into muons and muon neutrinos. The muon beam, which is much easier to measure than the neutrino beam, passes through three muon alcoves. This poster presentation focuses on quantifying and investigating the flux and energy of the muon beam through simulations and data analysis, making contributions to the DUNE mission. Through this analysis, we aim to deepen our understanding of neutrinos and advance our comprehension of the universe.
