Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline experiment designed to resolve key questions in neutrino physics, including the neutrino mass ordering, by studying neutrinos produced by an accelerator beam and from natural sources (atmospheric, supernovas and solar). The sensitivity to the neutrino mass ordering from atmospheric neutrinos at DUNE can be enhanced by distinguishing muon neutrinos from antineutrinos. This is possible at the DUNE Far Detectors, which use the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber technology, even in the absence of a magnetic field, using Michel electrons to distinguish muons from antimuons produced in charged-current neutrino or antineutrino interactions. My study focuses on improving a method to tag Michel-electrons and evaluate the impact of the numu/anitnumu separation efficiency on the DUNE sensitivity to neutrino mass ordering.
