abstract = {SBND is the near detector of the Short-Baseline
Neutrino program at Fermilab. Its location near to theBooster
Neutrino Beam source and relatively large mass will allow
the study of neutrino interactions on argon with unprecedented
statistics. This paper describes the expected performance
of the SBND photon detection system, using a simulated
sample of beam neutrinos and cosmogenic particles.
Its design is a dual readout concept combining a system of
120 photomultiplier tubes, used for triggering, with a system
of 192 X-ARAPUCA devices, located behind the anode
wire planes. Furthermore, covering the cathode plane with
highly-reflective panels coated with a wavelength-shifting
compound recovers part of the light emitted towards the cathode,
where no optical detectors exist.We show how this new
design provides a high light yield and a more uniform detection
efficiency, an excellent timing resolution and an independent
3D-position reconstruction using only the scintillation
light. Finally, the whole reconstruction chain is applied to
recover the temporal structure of the beam spill, which is
resolved with a resolution on the order of nanoseconds.},
