Description
The exceptional resolution and particle identification capabilities of Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) make them well-suited for probing weakly interacting particles in Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios. Recent investigations suggest that the DUNE far detector prototypes may be sensitive to long-lived BSM particles produced at the T2 target and exposed to the 400 GeV SPS beam at CERN. As a proof-of-principle, we explore the detection of neutrinos — known weakly interacting particles — to assess the detector performance. Ongoing feasibility studies using one of the ProtoDUNE detectors aim to evaluate its capabilities for future BSM searches. In this talk, we present the current status of our analysis and discuss the prospects for extending this program to broader BSM scenarios.
