Abstract

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will deploy innovative photon detectors, known as X-Arapucas, within its Far Detector to achieve a trigger for non-beam events and complementary calorimetry. This work describes the design of the DUNE far detector and the Photon Detection System for both Horizontal Drift and Vertical Drift modules and introduces the ProtoDUNE prototypes at CERN.
