The neutrino experiment DUNE, currently under construction in the US, has a broad physics program that covers oscillation physics at the GeV scale, the search for the proton decay and the observation of supernova and solar neutrinos. The DUNE far detector is based on the technology of the liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC), that allows for a 3D real-time position reconstruction of...
DUNE is an ambitious experimental project with a wide physics program aiming to the observation of the neutrino oscillation physics like CP violation and identification of mass hierarchy, the detection of supernova and solar neutrinos and the search for the proton decay.
The experiment is based on the liquid argon time projection chamber technology with four modules. The first of two far...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international experiment that uses Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) for advanced neutrino science. Detectors to be used in this configuration to collect the scintillation light must be compliant with the cryogenic environment and exhibit low levels of dark noise. FBK has developed NUV-HD-Cryo SiPM technology for cryogenic...
DUNE is a challenging long-baseline accelerator experiment in construction at Fermilab and SURF (South Dakota) aiming to probe CP violation in the neutrino sector and to identify the neutrino mass hierarchy.
The DUNE physics reaches on the observation of supernova neutrino bursts and proton decay are remarkably enhanced by the DUNE Photon Detection System (PDS) and strictly related to the...
The MicroBooNE detector is an 85-ton active mass Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) located on-axis along the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB). It serves as a part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab, which was primarily designed to address the MiniBooNE low energy excess. The primary signal channel in the LArTPC is ionisation, but the argon also produces large...
The Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) is a 112 ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) neutrino experiment located 110 m away from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) target in Fermilab, (Illinois, USA). The main physics goals of SBND are the search for sterile neutrinos in the eV scale, the study of neutrino-argon interactions and the hunt for Beyond Standard Model physics. As a...
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) have become one of the main detection technologies in the field of neutrino physics. In addition to the ionization charge, used to reconstruct near photographic images of neutrino interactions, LAr is also a very prolific scintillator. New experiments like the Short Baseline Near Detector (SBND) are focusing on harnessing the potential of the...
The ICARUS T600 detector is a 760-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) currently operating at Fermilab as the Far Detector in the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. The SBN program is composed of three LArTPCs with a central goal of testing the sterile neutrino hypothesis. After operating for 3-years in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, the ICARUS detector was shipped to...
The SoLAr detector concept is a novel approach to enhance the liquid argon time projection chambers for neutrino measurements in the O(10) MeV energy range. The primary objective of SoLAr is to study solar neutrino properties, including the ability to identify neutrinos from the "hep-branch" of the proton-proton fusion chain occurring in the Sun.
The SoLAr detector concept integrates both...
