DUNE will study questions pertaining to the preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of supernovae, the subtleties of neutrino interaction physics, and a number of beyond the Standard Model topics accessible in a powerful neutrino beam. A critical component of the DUNE physics program involves the study of changes in a powerful beam of neutrinos, i.e., neutrino oscillations, as the neutrinos propagate a long distance. The experiment consists of a near detector, sited close to the source of the beam, and a far detector, sited along the beam at a large distance. This document, the DUNE Near Detector Conceptual Design Report (CDR), describes the design of the DUNE near detector and the science program that drives the design and technology choices. The goals and requirements underlying the design, along with projected performance are given. It serves as a starting point for a more detailed design that will be described in future documents.}, organization = {Fermi Research Alliance, LLC DE-AC02-07CH11359}, organization = {H2020-EU}, organization = {TÜBİTAK}, organization = {National Science Foundation}, organization = {U.S. Department of Energy DE-AC02-05CH11231}, organization = {Multiple Sclerosis Center of Atlanta}, organization = {CERN}, organization = {UK Research and Innovation}, organization = {Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada}, organization = {Science and Technology Facilities Council}, organization = {Royal Society}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Singapore Eye Research Institute}, organization = {Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung}, organization = {Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo}, organization = {Ministerstvo Školství, Mládeže a Tělovýchovy}, organization = {Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana}, organization = {Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico}, organization = {National Research Foundation of Korea}, organization = {Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare}, organization = {Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación}, organization = {Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Goiás}, organization = {Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives}, organization = {European Regional Development Fund}, organization = {Xunta de Galicia}, organization = {Agencia Estatal de Investigación}, organization = {Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Neutrino}, keywords = {Near detector}, keywords = {Neutrino oscillations}, keywords = {Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment}, keywords = {DUNE}, title = {Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Near Detector Conceptual Design Report}, doi = {10.3390/instruments5040031}, author = {Zamorano García, Bruno and García Gámez, Diego and Nicolás Arnaldos, Francisco Javier and Abed Abud, A. and Dune Collaboration}, }
