Description
DUNE is a long-baseline neutrino experiment that will precisely measure neutrino oscillation parameters, observe astrophysical neutrinos, and search for processes beyond the standard model. DUNE will build four LAr-TPCs far detectors with a total mass of ~70 kT LAr located at SURF (Sanford Underground Research Facility), 1.5 km below the earth’s surface. A near-site complex, hosting different detectors, will measure the neutrino flux from an accelerated particle beam produced at at Fermilab, 1300 km away from SURF. DUNE will be sensitive to processes beyond the standard model such as nucleon decays, heavy neutral leptons, and dark matter. Additionally, neutrinos of astrophysical origin, most notably supernovas, and solar neutrinos. This few-MeV low energy regime is of particular interest for the detection of the burst of neutrinos from a galactic core-collapse supernova and solar neutrinos, for which the most energetic component (hep-chain) has never been measured.
