Description
The NaNu experiment aims to study muon and tau neutrino interactions in the energy range of 10-60 GeV at the CERN SPS collider and consists of two detector components. The passive detector component of NaNu will utilise emulsion detector planes interleaved with tungsten absorber plates and MicroMegas detectors. The active detector will employ an array of MicroMegas detectors equipped with plastic scintillators and SiPMs which will work as a combination of tracking detectors and hadronic sandwich calorimeters. The main goal of this experiment is the first experimental observation of anti-tau neutrinos. The statistics of tau neutrino interactions will allow also the study the anomalous magnetic moment as well as tests of lepton flavor universality in the neutrino sector. In this contribution, we will discuss the experimental layout of NaNu, its physics reach as well as first measurements of the expected muon background rate at the experimental location.
