Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to make measurements of neutrino oscillations with high precision and probe for new physics. Neutrinos will be measured at two detector facilities, namely a Near Detector (ND) located at Fermilab close to where the neutrino beam is produced by the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF), and a Far Detector located 1300 km away at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The ND will play a crucial role in measuring the unoscillated neutrino flux, which is needed to constrain systematic uncertainties for precisely measuring neutrino oscillation parameters and determining the neutrino mass ordering. We focus on the liquid argon (LAr) component of the ND, which will be an array of 7x5 LAr time projection chambers (LArTPCs) that will detect particles from their ionisation charge deposits and scintillation light signals using novel 3D pixel and high-coverage light readout systems, respectively. We present the ND-LAr design and its related prototyping campaigns, which include data-taking with the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab.
