Description
The ProtoDUNE Single Phase detector is a full-scale engineering prototype for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment that sits under a test beam at CERN. This 770 ton liquid argon time projection chamber has its front and back faces covered by scintillator strips to tag cosmics and calibrate the detector's reconstruction. The talk will discuss the details of tagging cosmics using the strips that form the CRT and how matching tracks between the TPC and the CRT can give a greater understanding of detector response, such as the impact of space charge and the electron lifetime.
