论文摘要
中微子横截面是依赖中微子散射以重建事件运动学和推断中微子特征（如NOVA和T2K）的实验中的关键成分。存在一个机会，可以通过在相关能量的光核靶标中对中微子散射进行更多测量，从而减少中微子横截面的5-10％广泛的不确定性。具有光核目标的气泡室对于这些测量值非常理想，但是最新的设备供加速器中微子来源使用至少五十年。可以通过观察该技术如何在暗物质实验中使用并生产使用更有效的冷却系统的较小的模块化设备来设计带有轻核目标的新气泡室。较小的模块化设备也可以设计用于部署到所有功能性中微子束，但是对适当的工作特性进行研究以使较新的检测器适应当代中微子束的结构。
Neutrino cross sections are a critical ingredient in experiments that depend on neutrino scattering to reconstruct event kinematics and infer neutrino characteristics, like NOvA and T2K. An opportunity exists to reduce the 5-10% broad uncertainty on neutrino cross sections by producing more measurements of neutrino scattering from light nuclear targets at the relevant energies. Bubble chambers with light nuclear targets would be ideal for these measurements but the most recent device designed for use with an accelerator neutrino source is at least fifty years old. A new bubble chamber with light nuclear targets could be designed by observing how the technology has progressed for use in dark matter experiments and producing smaller modular devices that use more efficient cooling systems. A smaller modular device could also be designed for deployment to all functioning neutrino beams, but an investigation of the proper operating characteristics is necessary to adapt newer detectors to the structure of contemporary neutrino beams.
