Abstract The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation experiment aimed to study neutrino oscillation. Its long-baseline configuration will exploit Near Detector (ND) and Far (FD) located at distance of ∼1300 km. FD consist four Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) modules. A Photon Detection System (PDS) be used detect the scintillation light produced inside detector after interactions. PDS based on collectors coupled Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs)....
This study investigates the scintillation properties of polycrystalline diamond for particle detection applications, particularly in neutron and alpha radiation environments. Polycrystalline diamonds provide a cost-effective alternative to monocrystalline while retaining essential properties. Photoluminescence measurements were performed analyze emission spectra, revealing distinct characteristics based on impurity content crystallinity. Scintillation responses assessed using Silicon...
