ANNIE: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment — •Marc Breisch for the ANNIE collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen

The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) is a 26-ton gadolinium doped water Cherenkov detector on-axis of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at FermiLab. Its primary goal is to measure the final state neutron multiplicity of neutrino-nucleus interactions to improve the systematic uncertainties of next-generation long baseline neutrino experiments. An additional milestone will be the deployment of multiple Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD), of which the first one is already commissioned and deployed. These novel detectors feature a timing resolution less than 100 picoseconds and a sub-centimeter spatial resolution, thus improving the track reconstruction capabilities of the detector. This talk will give a general overview of ANNIE in general and the status of the LAPPD deployment.
