Session 2I: Measuring Accelerator Beam Position Using Multi-Wire Chamber

Fermilab produces intense beams of high-energy neutrinos, particles that may hold the key to understanding the universe and what matter is made up of. Various neutrino experiments are either running or under planning; some aim to discover differences in neutrino and antineutrino interactions, look for neutrinos from supernovae, or search for nucleon decay. Others will help answer some of the most important scientific questions about neutrino masses, neutrino oscillations and the role neutrinos may have played in the evolution of the universe. The position of the neutrino beam is critical in tuning an accelerator to deliver neutrinos with proper energy and intensity. The multi-wire chamber detector is one of the techniques that measures the beam profile and determines the center position and sigma of the beam profile. The process involves data collection, transfer, analysis and statistical modeling and calculation. In this project, Presenters are in the process of implementing a system that collects data from the multi-wire chamber, calculates the mean and sigma, and displays these along with the profiles of the beam
