Abstract

We propose to use the unique event topology and reconstruction capabilities of liquid argon time projection chambers to study sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos. The detection of low energy recoiled protons in DUNE allows for a determination of the leptonic CP-violating phase independent from the accelerator neutrino measurement. Our findings indicate that this analysis can exclude a range of values of δ_{CP} beyond the 3σ level. Moreover, the determination of the sub-GeV atmospheric neutrino flux will have important consequences in the detection of diffuse supernova neutrinos and in dark matter experiments.

Highlights

  • We propose to use the unique event topology and reconstruction capabilities of liquid argon time projection chambers to study sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos

  • The detection of low energy recoiled protons in Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) allows for a determination of the leptonic CP-violating phase independent from the accelerator neutrino measurement

  • In this Letter, we propose to use the unique event reconstruction capabilities of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) to estimate how the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [22] will be able to measure sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos and extract information on δCP complementary to the accelerator neutrino program
