SUMMARY:Speaker: Elise Hinkle (University of Chicago) - Title: More than Just a Prototype: How the 2x2 Demonstrator is Essential to DUNE’s Success
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: December 16\, 2025 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Elise Hinkle (University of Chicago) \nTitle: More than Just a Prototype: How the 2×2 Demonstrator is Essential to DUNE’s Success \nAbstract: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an upcoming long-baseline neutrino experiment with a multitude of physics goals including determining the neutrino mass ordering and searching for CP violation in the lepton sector. In 2024\, the DUNE collaboration collected its first neutrino beam data using the 2×2 Demonstrator\, a prototype for DUNE’s liquid argon near detector (ND-LAr) located in the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beamline at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). This talk will explore how these 2×2 data are critical in validating key ND-LAr design choices\, such as the use of liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) technology\, optically isolated modules\, and pixelated charge readout. Furthermore\, this talk will explain how these 2×2 data are essential in fulfilling ND-LAr’s purpose of reducing beam\, detector\, and cross section systematic uncertainties in DUNE oscillation measurements.\n \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037
