Description
DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in the United States that primarily aims to measure the CP-violating phase in the leptonic sector and determine the neutrino mass ordering. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) accelerator at Fermilab will produce an intense neutrino beam, which will be studied at two detector sites separated by a 1300 km baseline.
The Near Detector complex at Fermilab will characterize the unoscillated neutrino flux using three detectors: a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC), a high-pressure gas time projection chamber, and an on-axis beam monitor. The first two detectors are designed to be movable along the transverse beam axis, allowing for detailed analyses of the neutrino energy spectrum.
The Far Detector complex, located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota, will measure the oscillated neutrino flux using four massive LArTPC detectors installed 1.5 km underground. The first two Far Detector modules will use vertical and horizontal drift configurations respectively, while the design of the remaining two modules is still under discussion.
This talk will present the technologies of the Near and Far Detectors, with a focus on their performance in achieving DUNE’s physics objectives within the constraints of installation and operation procedures.
