Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Planned Impact
As per submission from the lead institute, Cambridge.

| Description | This award funded an R&D programme that investigated the reconstruction of neutrino interactions, via automatic software algoirithms, inside massive liquid argon Time Project Chambers(TPC). The conclusions of this study laid the foundations for the subsequent award to Warwick (in 2018) to play a lead role in the development and deliver of an optimal reconstruction solution for the LBNF/DUNE project. |
| Exploitation Route | The outcomes were a crucial stepping stone to the task of providing an optimised reconstruction solution for the LBNF/DUNE project (the world's largest liquid argon TPC ever built with very significant UK involvement). |
