The SBND (Short-Baseline Near Detector) experiment is part of the multi-detector Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) programme located along the Booster Neutrino Beamline at Fermilab, USA. Each detector in the SBN programme utilises the liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology. The main goal of the SBN programme is to address a number of anomalies observed by previous short baseline experiments through searches for sterile neutrinos and additional beyond the Standard Model (BSM) phenomena. SBND will also study the intricate nature of neutrino interactions on heavy nuclei in great detail, which will be invaluable to the next generation of liquid argon neutrino detectors. This PhD project will focus on addressing the short baseline anomalies through measurements of key parameters which govern sterile neutrino oscillations and BSM processes. This will involve taking a lead role in developing dedicated software frameworks, including the implementation of machine learning techniques. Ultimately, the software will be used to process and analyse large simulated and real physics datasets.

SBND（检测器附近的短基线）实验是位于美国费米拉布（Fermilab）的增强中微子光束线的多探测器短基线中微子（SBN）程序的一部分。 SBN程序中的每个检测器都使用液体氩时间投影室（LARTPC）技术。 SBN程序的主要目标是通过搜索无菌中微子的搜索和超出标准模型（BSM）现象的其他较短基线实验观察到的许多异常。 SBND还将研究中微子相互作用在重核上的复杂性质，这对于下一代液体氩中微子探测器将是无价的。该博士学位项目将通过测量关键参数的测量来解决无菌中微子振荡和BSM过程的主要基线异常。这将涉及在开发专用软件框架（包括实施机器学习技术）中发挥主导作用。最终，该软件将用于处理和分析大型模拟和真实物理数据集。
