Description
The 40kt DUNE Far Detector, located at the Sanford Underground
Research Facility, will offer unique capabilities for the study of
atmospheric neutrinos. Due to the detector¹s excellent energy resolutions,
angular resolutions, and particle ID capabilities, atmospheric neutrino
analyses in DUNE can provide valuable information about 3-flavor
oscillations, despite the relatively modest statistics. These data
provide a complementary analysis approach to beam neutrinos, and can help
resolve ambiguities in beam-only analyses. In this talk we will focus on
the determination of the mass hierarchy, octant of theta23, and
measurement of Delta_CP using atmospheric neutrinos in DUNE.
