DUNE: Pre-Construction Phase
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Warwick
Department Name: Physics
Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Planned Impact
The Impact Statement is centrally submitted through the main submission.
Organisations
| Description | HIgh-level reconstruction software was delivered to be used in analysing the first protoDUNE data and in preparation for the DUNE Far Detector (in particular to be used in maing the case for the DUNE detector TDR's). Specifically, the Warwick group delivered particle identification and energy reconstruction algorithms. |
| Exploitation Route | These results are being further developed and added to in software development throughout the construction phase of the DUNE project. |
| Sectors | Other |
| Description | We have included some outcomes of this work in the annual Warwick Particle Physics Materclass event. |
