Abstract

We find that it is possible to increase sensitivity to low energy physics in a third or fourth DUNE-like module with careful controls over radiopurity and targeted modifications to a detector similar to the DUNE Far Detector design. In particular, sensitivity to supernova and solar neutrinos can be enhanced with improved MeV-scale reach. A neutrinoless double beta decay search with $^{136}$Xe loading appears feasible. Furthermore, sensitivity to Weakly-Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) Dark Matter (DM) becomes competitive with the planned world program in such a detector, offering a unique seasonal variation detection that is characteristic for the nature of WIMPs.

大型低背景kTon级液氩时间投影室

我们发现，在第三个或第四个类似DUNE的模块中，通过仔细控制辐射纯度和对类似于DUNE远探测器设计的探测器进行有针对性的修改，可以提高对低能物理的敏感性。特别是，对超新星和太阳中微子的敏感性可以随着MeV规模的扩大而增强。用$^{136}$Xe加载的无中微子双β衰变搜索似乎是可行的。此外，在这种探测器中，对弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMP）暗物质（DM）的灵敏度与计划中的世界计划具有竞争力，提供了一种独特的季节变化检测，这是WIMP性质的特点。
