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

ICARUS HERE AT FERMILAB
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!! • My best friend for the summer • C++ • ROOT • Python • Rassberry Pi
WHY THE CAMERAS?
WHAT I DID Tested camera types Infra red-lights • What type of camera would work best with the task?
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 scaled to 16 1 camera was tested 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 • of 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
