Descripción
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) have become one of the main detection technologies in the field of neutrino physics. In addition to the ionization charge, used to reconstruct near photographic images of neutrino interactions, LAr is also a very prolific scintillator. New experiments like the Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) are focusing on harnessing the potential of the light signals through an innovative Photon Detection System (PDS) design. In this talk we will report the expected system performance using a comprehensive detector simulation. The novel techniques developed in SBND to improve the time resolution and to independently reconstruct the 3D location of the events using exclusively scintillation light will be described. Among the new capabilities, we will focus on the ability of SBND to accurately tag neutrino events with an expected resolution $\mathcal{O}$(ns) and ultimately retrieve the pulse structure of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB).
