“…CIEMAT, together with IFAE, has been responsible for the photon detection system of ProtoDUNE-DP, including the acquisition and characterization of 40 8" cryogenic photomultipliers [54], coating with wavelength shifters, design and production of the voltage circuit and HV splitters, production of the associated mechanics [55], light calibration system [56], readout and data acquisition systems [57], and final installation and commissioning of the light detection system in the detector. Figure 15 shows the ProtoDUNE-DP PMTs installed at the bottom of the ProtoDUNE-DP cryostat.…”

Reactor and accelerator-based neutrino experiments have played a critical role in the understanding of neutrino oscillations and are currently dominating the high-precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters. The discovery of a non-zero θ13 by the reactor experiments has opened the possibility of observing CP violation in the lepton sector by long-baseline accelerator experiments. The current knowledge of the neutrino oscillation parameters will be expanded upon in the near future through more precise measurements, including the discovery of the neutrino mass ordering and the CP-violating phase. This review summarizes the distinct and complementary approach of reactor and accelerator-based neutrino experiments to measure neutrino oscillations. The main scientific achievements of the Double Chooz reactor neutrino experiment and the science program to be developed by the DUNE long-baseline neutrino experiment with the world’s most intense neutrino beam are presented in this article. Spain has strongly contributed to these results and will continue to play a prominent role in the neutrino oscillation program in the coming years.

“…A light calibration system (LCS) has been developed for ProtoDUNE-DP to monitor the PMT performance and obtain an equalized PMT response [13]. In the light calibration system, the light source is provided inside a black box by blue LEDs of 465 nm using Kapustinsky circuits [14] as LED driver, and transmitted by a fiber system ending with a fiber pointing at each PMT.…”

ProtoDUNE-DP is a 6×6×6 m 3 liquid argon timeprojection-chamber operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the Dual Phase concept for the DUNE Far Detector. The Photon Detection System (PDS) is based on 36 8-inch photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs) and allows triggering on the scintillation light signals produced by cosmic rays and other charged particles traversing the detector. The acquisition and calibration software specifically developed for the ProtoDUNE-DP PDS is described in this paper. This software controls the high-voltage power supplies, the calibration system, and the PDS DAQ. It has been developed with Qt Creator, and features different operation modes, and a graphical user interface. This software has already been validated and used during the ProtoDUNE-DP operation.

“…As wavelength shifter, a sheet of polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) is placed on top of 30 PMTs and the other 6 PMTs have tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB) directly coated on them. There is a LED-based fiber calibration system to monitor the PMT performance and obtain an equalized PMT response [8].…”
