SUMMARY:ProtoDUNE: prototyping the ultimate medium–high energy (MeV – 
 GeV) neutrino detector - Dr. Roberto Acciarri\, CERN

DESCRIPTION:Four Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPC) holding in
  total around 80 ktons of liquid will be constructed in the next ten years
  in South Dakota as the Far Detector of the Deep Underground Neutrino Expe
 riment (DUNE)\, for a rich neutrino and proton decay science programme. Th
 e availability of two variants of the LArTPC technology\, single- and dual
 -phase\, and the scaling up by two orders of magnitude from the previous l
 argest such detector (ICARUS) call for an extensive prototyping and demons
 tration programme and a side-by-side comparison of the two options. \n\nTh
 e ProtoDUNE programme is carried out at the multi-million\, purpose-built 
 CERN Neutrino Facility through two 800 ton LArTPCs (one for each option)\,
  where the final detector configurations and engineering solutions will be
  fully characterised\, offering also an ideal environment for the developm
 ent of Data Acquisition\, Data Reconstruction and Analysis\, and the devel
 opment of the community of scientists and engineers who will build and ope
 rate DUNE. I will present the two prototypes\, their beamlines\, their phy
 sics programmes and their current status.
