  73. Determining Physics Sensitivities For Conceptual Design Report • Full detector simulation/reconstruction not available – See later in talk for plans • For Far Detector response – Use parameterized single-particle response based on achieved/expected performance (with ICARUS and elsewhere) • Systematic constraints from Near Detector + … – Based on current understanding of cross section/hadro-production uncertainties + Expected constraints from near detector • in part, evaluated using fast Monte Carlo 92 04/05/2016 Mark Thomson | DUNE Oscillation physics with atmospheric neutrinos

Evaluating DUNE Sensitivities I Many inputs calculation (implemented in GLoBeS): • Cross sections • Reference Beam Flux – GENIE 2.8.4 – 80 GeV protons – – CC & NC 204m x 4m He-filled decay – all (anti)neutrino flavors pipe – 1.07 MW Exclusive ν -nucleon cross sections – NuMI-style two horn system • Optimized Beam Flux – Horn system optimized for lower energies • Expected Detector Performance – Based on previous experience (ICARUS, ArgoNEUT, …) 93 04/05/2016 Mark Thomson | DUNE
