Novel Light Detection Technology for Liquid Argon Neutrino Detectors – Livio Calivers (University of Bern)

Future long baseline neutrino experiments address major open questions in the leptonic sector of the standard model, such as the existence of leptonic CP violation. For the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr TPCs) are the main chosen detection technology. In particular in the LAr TPC part of the near detector (ND-LAr), the light detection plays an important role in handling the high beam intensity of DUNE.
This talk discusses the light detection technologies developed (ArCLight and LCM) for ND-LAr. The two light detectors are dielectric designs enabling the placement in the drift field of the modular ND-LAr structure and ocupy minimal volume. Spatial and time resolution are key parameters to achieve an in-spill timing which is needed to resolve interaction pile-ups. As an outlook to future detector developments the light readout of the SoLAr concept is presented which takes advantage of the VUV SiPM developments.
