Neutrino physics at DUNE

Description

Abstract: 

DUNE is a next-generation neutrino experiment currently under construction. It is aiming to resolve the question of violation of CP symmetry in the lepton sector through the measurement of how oscillation of neutrinos differs from that of anti-neutrinos. Its unique design will allow to: make precise measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, look for neutrinos from core-collapse supernova, search for BSM nucleon decays, and more. Should an observable supernova neutrino burst happen, DUNE will want to exploit its detection potential to its maximum. To this end, an enhanced measurement of the energy spectrum of the neutrinos would provide constraints on the models of the collapse. My current project is the investigation of the possibility to employ two distinct calorimetry techniques to improve the measurement. In this presentation, I will give an introduction to the design and physics goals of the experiment. I will discuss how the combined calorimetry can be tested in DUNE's prototype detector at CERN, ProtoDUNE.
