Description

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international long-baseline neutrino experiment that will build an intense neutrino beam from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, to a far detector consisting of four Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr-TPC) holding in total around 80 ktons, at the Sanford Underground Research Laboratory in South Dakota at 1300 kilometers downstream of the source.
ProtoDUNE-SP is the Single-Phase DUNE Far Detector prototype built at the Cern Neutrino Platform facility with the aim to better define the production and installation procedures for DUNE FD as well as accumulate test-beam data at CERN in order to calibrate the response of the detector to different particles species.
With a total liquid argon (LAr) mass of 0.77 kt, it represents the largest monolithic single-phase LAr-TPC detector.
