Abstract
Long and short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, such as DUNE, ANNIE, SBND, demand high precision in reducing systematic errors, particularly those related to neutrino-nucleus interaction cross-sections. The stroboscopic approach offers a method to capture distinct neutrino energy spectra, aiding in the separation of flux and cross-section uncertainties. This report outlines the creation of short proton bunch lengths and the transport of a narrow beam down the Booster Neutrino Beamline, essential steps for the successful implementation of the stroboscopic approach.
