Abstract
The Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab is a short-baseline neutrino experiment with the main goal of performing definitive search for neutrino oscillations in the 1 eV$^2$ mass-splitting scale. The SBN consists of three liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC) detectors, the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND), MicroBooster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE), and Imaging Cosmic And Rare Underground Signals (ICARUS), situated in the Booster Neutrino Beam-line (BNB). In addition to its main physics goal, having three LAr-TPC detectors in the neutrino beam-line, SBN will also perform precise measurements on neutrino-argon interactions. Moreover, the experience of constructing and running LAr-TPC detectors together with the ongoing R$\&$D activities in the SBN program will help to realize the next generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment DUNE. This paper discusses the physics potentials of the program, its current status and ongoing activities.
