The SBN program consists of three surface liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC) detectors on the Booster Neutrino Beam line at Fermilab, devoted to probe neutrino oscillations at the $\sim 1\mathrm{ eV}^2$ scale. SBND is the near detector, located at 110 m from the source, with a mass of 112 tons. Because of the inherent long readout times of LArTPCs and the lack of shielding, cosmic...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be an experiment in
neutrino physics and proton decay studies. DUNE will consist of two parts, The
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, located at the Fermi National Accelerator
Laboratory, and the Far Detector at Sanford Underground Research Facility, the latter
consists of liquid argon tanks used as scintillators for neutrino detection....
A common practice when detecting high-energy scintillation photons in noble gas experiments is the use of wavelength shifters. These compounds convert the high-energy photons to a less energetic spectrum, simplifying the detection process. The use of wavelength shifters in combination with other optical elements allows the construction of light traps, which can greatly increase the capacity of...
DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is a proposed long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment located in the United States. The main physics objectives of DUNE are to characterize neutrino oscillations, search for nucleon decay, and observe supernova neutrino bursts. The DUNE far detector will be located 4850' underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South...
The functionality and radiopurity of SiPM-based photodetectors with integrated electronics, which will meet the demanding requirements for radio pure detectors looking for dark matter. ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) readout electronics have the potential to replace discrete electronic components and to reduce the radioactivity of photo sensor frontend electronics. For future...
The DARWIN observatory is a proposed next generation
experiment for dark matter detection and neutrino physics. DARWIN will
feature a 50 tonne liquid xenon (LXe) target enclosed in a dual phase
time projection chamber. The realisation of this multi-ton scale
detector requires to address a series of technological challenges, to
this end, a full scale vertical demonstrator, Xenoscope, was...
