Dual Cherenkov/Scintillation Reconstruction in Water-based Liquid Scintillator — •Daniele Guffanti, Manuel Böhles, Nils Brast, Hans Steiger, and Michael Wurm — Institute of Physics and Excellence Cluster PRISMA, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany

One of the most intriguing possibilities for the next generation of neutrino experiments consists in large hybrid Cherenkov/Scintillation detectors, made possible by recent innovations in photodetection technologies and liquid scintillator chemistry such as Water-based Liquid Scintillators and Slow Scintillators. Being able to exploit both Cherenkov and Scintillation photons can bring significant improvements to the sensitivity of an experiment, enhancing energy and track reconstruction. This possibility is particularly interesting for hadronic interactions, which can be studied on an extracted beamline with a ton-scale experiment.
