Resumo
The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber
(LArTPC) that was constructed and operated in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4
beamline. This detector is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep Underground
Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at the Sandford Underground Research
Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, U.S.A. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size
components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of 7 × 6 × 7.2 m3
. The H4 beam
delivers incident particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle identification.
ProtoDUNE-SP’s successful operation between 2018 and 2020 demonstrates the effectiveness of
the single-phase far detector design. This paper describes the design, construction, assembly and
operation of the detector components.
