Description

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a 40-kton underground liquid argon (LAr) time-projection-chamber (TPC) detector, for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies and for neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. Photon detector systems embedded within the LAr TPC add precise timing capabilities for non-beam events. The ProtoDUNE dual phase detector will consist of a 6x6x6 m3 LAr TPC placed at CERN and the light readout will be formed by 8-inch cryogenic photomultipliers from Hamamatsu. The characterization of the 36 photomultipliers, the readout electronics, and the light calibration system will be described. In addition, preliminary results from a 3x1x1 m3 LAr double phase detector operating at CERN will be presented.
