@misc{10481/72837, year = {2022}, month = {1}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10481/72837}, abstract = {The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) that was constructed and operated in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4 beamline. This detector is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at the Sandford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, U.S.A. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of 7 × 6 × 7.2 m3. The H4 beam delivers incident particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle identification. ProtoDUNE-SP's successful operation between 2018 and 2020 demonstrates the effectiveness of the single-phase far detector design. This paper describes the design, construction, assembly and operation of the detector components.}, organization = {Fermi Research Alliance, LLC DE-AC02-07CH11359}, organization = {H2020-EU}, organization = {National Science Foundation}, organization = {U.S. Department of Energy DE-AC02-05CH11231}, organization = {Office of Science}, organization = {Fermilab}, organization = {H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions}, 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 = {Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia}, 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 = {Junta de Andalucía}, organization = {Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules}, publisher = {IOP}, keywords = {Noble liquid detectors (scintillation, ionization, double-phase)}, keywords = {Photon detectors for UV, visible and IR photons (solid-state) (PIN diodes, APDs, Si-PMTs, G-APDs, CCDs, EBCCDs, EMCCDs, CMOS imagers, etc);}, keywords = {Scintillators, scintillation and light emission processes (solid, gas and liquid scintillators)}, keywords = {Time projection Chambers (TPC)}, title = {Design, construction and operation of the ProtoDUNE-SP Liquid Argon TPC}, doi = {10.1088/1748-0221/17/01/P01005}, author = {García Gámez, Diego and Nicolás Arnaldos, Francisco Javier and Zamorano García, Bruno and The Dune Collaboration}, }
