Abstract:
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation, neutrino oscillation experiment which will utilize high-intensity $ν_μ$ and $ν̅_μ$ beam produced at Fermilab and will carry out a detailed study of neutrino mixing. In addition to the measurement of CP-violation in neutrino sector and determination of neutrino mass ordering, the experiment’s main goals also include the search for proton decay and detection of neutrinos from supernova bursts.
In this talk, I will introduce the experiment with its key features and its main physics objectives. I will briefly discuss the prototype detectors ProtoDUNE running at CERN. I will then focus on topics which I worked on during my past appointment at the University of Sheffield: a study of DUNE’s sensitivity to a particular proton decay channel, p ⟶ K$^+$ + 𝜈, and detector calibration using cosmogenic muons.
The seminar will be held at FZU (Slovanka) in the main conference hall.
It will be also available via ZOOM video conference system:
