Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will provide a unique opportunity to simultaneously measure the oscillation parameters in the high- and low-energy regimes. DUNE's liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology provides a charged-current (CC) and an elastic-scattering (ES) interaction channel that, when simultaneously exploited, enable precision measurements of the $^8$B flux and offer the opportunity to measure the much smaller hep flux. This talk will present recent simulations for DUNE's expected sensitivity to the $\Delta m^2_{21}$ and $\sin^2\theta_{12}$ oscillation parameters, the hep flux, and the day-night asymmetry characteristic of the Earth's regeneration effect. Additionally, we will discuss strategies for mitigating the backgrounds of such a challenging measurement.
