WP9: Cryogenic Neutrino Detectors
Objectives
Task 9.1. Coordination and Communication
• Management and coordination of the Work Package, including monitoring of work progress, budget spending and
reporting to the project management.
• Organisation of WP meetings as well as meetings with other WPs and coordinating presentation of results within
AIDAinnova and to the detector community.
Task 9.2. Pixel charge readout
• Optimised pixel tile pattern for the DUNE LAr far detector
• Design and prototype for large scale tile-based anode plane
Task 9.3. Vertical Drift charge readout
• Novel Vertical Drift perforated anodes charge readout design evolving from the Dual-phase charge readout stack
• Development and tests of novel design of the Charge Readout Plane (CRP) integration surface of the Vertical Drift
perforated anodes
• Developments and tests of integrated cold electronics, new feedthrough chimneys design
• Developments in associated digitisation hardware and online data treatment
Task 9.4. Light readout
• Characterisation of new photon detection methods, calibration devices and readout electronics
• Implementation and characterisation of a more efficient light collection system in NP02/ProtoDUNE phase II (Xe
doping and Wave Length Shifting (WLS) combined with reflective foils)
• Dissemination of R&D results and NP02/ProtoDUNE II light-collection performance (web site)
