96. SoLAr

Nicola McConkey (University of Manchester)

5/11/22, 4:45 PM

DUNE Module of Opportunity

Oral

SoLAr is a new concept for a liquid argon neutrino detector technology which aims to extend the sensitivities of these devices to the MeV energy range, extending the physics reach of these next-generation detectors to include solar neutrinos. The SoLAr technology will be based on the concept of monolithic light-charge pixel-based readout which addresses the main requirements for such a...

31. Low Background kTon-Scale Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers

Eric Church (PNNL)

5/11/22, 5:10 PM

DUNE Module of Opportunity

Oral

We find that it is possible to increase sensitivity to MeV or lower-energy physics in a third or fourth DUNE-like module with careful controls over radiopurity and some modifications to a detector similar to the DUNE Far Detector design. In particular, sensitivity to supernovae and solar neutrinos can be enhanced with these changes and an improved photon detection system. A neutrino-less...

70. The Theia experiment

Dr Leon Pickard (UC Davis)

5/11/22, 5:35 PM

DUNE Module of Opportunity

Oral

The advent of novel scintillators, such as Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS), fast photon detectors, and spectral sorting offer the exciting possibility of combining the benefits of both water Cherenkov and organic scintillation detection methods into a single experiment. This groundbreaking technology yields the prospect of deployment in the 25 kTon THEIA-25 detector. In doing so, THEIA...
