Description

It is possible to increase sensitivity to low energy physics in a third or fourth DUNE-like module with better radiopurity measures and suitable modifications to a detector similar to the DUNE Far Detector design. In particular, sensitivity to supernova and solar neutrinos can be enhanced with improved MeV-scale reach. With a 136Xe doping in the liquid argon, the detector can also be used for neutrinoless double beta decay searches . Furthermore, sensitivity to Weakly- Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) Dark Matter (DM) becomes competitive with the planned world program in such a detector.
