Methodology
- Used the dune10kt_v1_1x2x6_withfoils_lib.root file
- btained from Diego Garcia-Gamez (had to modify
to reconcile a missing job)
- Contains photon visibility data for both direct VUV
& reflected visible light: proportion of photons generated in a given voxel that hit a given optical channel

Methodology
- Built a “toy-MC” simulation to look at Light Yield as a
function of drift-distance, x
- Generated 10 MeV energy depositions randomly within a
3D region of the geometry:
- x = [10, 330] cm
- y = [-600,600] cm
- z = [300, 1000] cm
- This is the “middle-third” of the simulated geometry,
typical for most of the DUNE detector.

Methodology
- From photon library, determined number of photons hitting
the detectors by:
𝑂𝛿 = 𝑄𝑝𝑗𝑡𝑡𝑝𝑜 𝑊𝑗𝑡𝑗𝑐𝑗𝑚𝑗𝑢𝑧 ⋅ 𝐹 ⋅ 24,000𝛿 𝑁𝑓𝑊 ⋅ 𝑅𝐹
- Assumed (unless specified otherwise) that the detectors
have same sensitivity to VUV & visible light
- Binned into x-voxel-planes; used mean & stdev for plots
- Varied cathode reflector foil coverage, as a limited coverage
might be needed to allow for neutralisation of +’ve ions

ARAPUCAs (Estimates from same photon library)

ARAPUCA Transmission Possibilities

WLS VUV (direct) Visible Visible (Reflected)
?
VUV (direct) Visible (Reflected) No WLS
- ARAPUCAs can be covered with a WLS or left uncovered (as in SBND)
- For covered detectors, the extreme possibilities are that it is equally
sensitive to visible light & VUV, or that it doesn’t let visible through at all.
- Truth lies somewhere between! Planning tests with VUV
spectrometer.

Summary
- Looked at Light Yield response vs. distance when cathode reflector
present for bars; notable improvement in LY at large 𝑦 (~7× for 100% cathode)
- Estimated similar plots for ARAPUCAs with various parameters; can
- btain roughly-uniform LY in either WLS scenario by having
coverage at 30-40%, though total LY is decreased
- If ARAPUCA sensitivity is boosted to 2.5% LY passes enhanced
technical requirement of 10 p.e./MeV even with conservative parameter estimates
- I have selected a few plots here, but have numerous more pre-
generated if asked for!
