Abstract
The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is a 100-ton scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detector positioned in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab and the near detector of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. The detector took its first run of neutrino data in July 2024. Located only 110 m from the neutrino production target, it will be exposed to a very high flux of neutrinos and collect millions of neutrino interactions yearly. This huge number of neutrino interactions combined with the precise tracking and calorimetric capabilities of LArTPC detectors will enable a wealth of cross-section measurements with unprecedented precision. SBND will also sample multiple neutrino fluxes thanks to its proximity to the beam source and the fact the detector is not perfectly aligned with the neutrino beamline, a feature known as SBND-PRISM. This article will present the current status of the experiment along with expectations for a rich cross-section program.
