DUNE Module of Opportunity - Parallel
- Juergen Reichenbacher (South Dakota School of Mines and Technology)
This talk will review the status of DUNE detectors #3-4 and the DUNE Module of Opportunity Workshop.
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...
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...
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...
