Description

The single phase ProtoDUNE detector is a prototype detector for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. It was built at CERN and has accumulated millions of test beam particles with momenta between 0.3 GeV/c to 7 GeV/c during the beam runs in the H4 VLE dedicated charged particles beamline at the CERN Neutrino Platform in late 2018. In this talk, I will present the preliminary detector performance results, focusing on the detector calibration and the calorimetric reconstruction of the beam particles. I will also discuss the perspective of physics measurements using ProtoDUNE data.
