Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will deploy massive liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors to measure the properties of neutrinos with unprecedented precision. Currently, two full-scale prototypes of the DUNE far detectors are at CERN, which are called the ProtoDUNE detectors. Recent studies indicate that these prototypes have the potential to detect neutrinos and long-lived beyond Standard Model (BSM) particles from one of the targets in CERN’s north area that is exposed to the 400 GeV Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) beam. Numerous neutrino interaction candidates have been observed in the ProtoDUNE data. Detecting neutrinos at the ProtoDUNE detectors is a key demonstration of the feasibility of a future BSM physics programme. In addition, a substantial sample of neutrino interactions in a DUNE LArTPC detector could be a valuable source of data for testing event reconstruction algorithms. This talk will highlight the status and progress of this programme of work and the prospects for establishing a BSM physics programme at the CERN Neutrino Platform.
