Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a cutting-edge experiment for
neutrino science and proton decay studies. The single-phase liquid argon prototype detector at CERN (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a crucial milestone for DUNE that will inform the construction and operation of the first and possibly subsequent 17-kt DUNE far detector modules. Michel electrons are distributed uniformly inside the detector and serve as a natural and powerful sample to study the detector’s response for low-energy (tens of MeV) interactions as a function of position. I will present the current status of reconstructing Michel electrons from the decays of cosmic-ray muons in the ProtoDUNE-SP detector. We have developed selection tools to identify and reconstruct such Michel electrons which could benefit any LArTPC experiment generically.
