DUNE as the Next-Generation Solar Neutrino Experiment
Abstract
We show that the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), with significant but feasible new efforts, has the potential to deliver world-leading results in solar neutrinos. With a $$\mathrm{100 kton - yr}$$ exposure, DUNE could detect ≳$$\mathrm{10^5}$$ signal events above 5 MeV electron energy. Separate precision measurements of neutrino-mixing parameters and the $$\mathrm{^8B}$$ flux could be made using two detection channels ($$ν_e + \mathrm{^{40}Ar}$$ and $$ν_{e,μ,τ} + e^-$$) and the day-night effect (>$$\mathrm{10σ}$$). New particle physics may be revealed through the comparison of solar neutrinos (with matter effects) and reactor neutrinos (without), which is discrepant by ~$$\mathrm{2σ}$$ (and could become $$\mathrm{5.6σ}$$). New astrophysics may be revealed through the most precise measurement of the $$\mathrm{^8B}$$ flux (to 2.5%) and the first detection of the hep flux (to 11%). DUNE is required: No other experiment, even proposed, has been shown capable of fully realizing these discovery opportunities.
