Abstract

The neutrino mass ordering and the leptonic CP violation phase are key parameters of the three-neutrino flavour mixing still to be determined. Measuring these parameters is the main goal of DUNE, a next generation Long Baseline neutrino experiment under construction in the United States. DUNE will feature a Near and a Far Detector site. An important component of the Near detector complex is the SAND apparatus, which will include GRAIN, a novel liquid Argon detector that aims at imaging neutrino interactions using scintillation light. For this purpose, an innovative optical readout system based on Coded Aperture Masks is under study. This thesis work is aimed at a first quantitative assessment of a 3D neutrino event reconstruction algorithm for GRAIN. The processing procedure is optimized and the reconstruction performance is evaluated. Promising results are obtained.
