Description

The DUNE near detector complex will consist of several detectors, one of which is the high-pressure gaseous argon TPC (HPgTPC). As a promising neutrino detection technology, it is well-suited to improve the neutrino-nucleus systematic uncertainties for the neutrino oscillation measurements, as well as to perform a key role as a muon spectrometer for a liquid-argon detector. In this talk, an overview of the on-going HPgTPC R&D efforts in the U.K. and U.S. will be presented.
