Neutrino Detector Livingston Plots
Inspired by the famous plot of M. Stanley Livingston showing accelerator center-of-mass energy as a function of time, our plots show the progressions of neutrino detector fiducial mass and interaction vertex resolution.
This data was collected by hand – skimming old papers and making ballpark calculations for the vertex resolution. For more info on the dataset and our methodology, see our presentation slides.
This work was performed as a part of the 2017 International Neutrino Summer School at Fermilab. Thanks to Professor Mark Messier for the idea.
