    DUNE collaborators working on the performance evaluation of the Photon Detection System (PDS) of the ProtoDUNE-HD prototype at CERN come to Valencia for a one week hands-on workshop to speed up the elaboration of the corresponding article. ProtoDUNE-HD is the horizontal drift large scale prototype of the DUNE far detector and was operated from march…

    The assembly of the NEXT-100 detector is complete! Presently, the detector is working at low pressure to test and calibrate the instrumentation. NEXT-100 employs 60 photomultipliers in the energy plane, compared to the 12 PMTs used in its predecessor, NEXT-White. The tracking plane is made up of 3584 SiPMs (1792 in NEXT-White) meant to provide the…

    The excavation of the caverns that will house the gigantic particle detectors of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in Lead, South Dakota, is complete. Final outfitting of the colossal caverns will begin soon and make way for the start of the installation of the DUNE detectors later this year.
