Abstract

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation underground observatory, to be located in the USA, aiming at precise measure- ment of long-baseline neutrino oscillations over a 1300 km baseline, detection of supernova neutrinos and search for nucleon decay and other physics beyond the Standard Model. The far detector, a very large liquid argon time projec- tion chamber, requires a dedicated prototyping effort (ProtoDUNE), currently ongoing at CERN.

Report

Good and comprehensive report on the status of DUNE. A few language comments have been suggested to the author and waiting for feedback. For reference they are summarised below:

Abstract
aiming at precise measurement -> aiming at precise measurements

Introduction
Both of them require a dedicated -> Bot of them require dedicated

Chapter 2
Comment: You refer to deep-learning based event selection at the end of the first paragraph. Can you be a bit more precise and refer to some example?
Comment: You mention lifetimes of > 10^33. Is this really larger than or smaller then? Do you also have a reference to the mentioned SUSY models?

Chapter 3
- towards the end you mention SiPM. While it’s clear to me what this abbreviation means it might not be clear to everyone. Could you please spell it out once?

Chapter 4
- you use ktonne and kt. Could you change it to a consistent notation?

Chapter 5
- you use standard model and Standard Model. Could you change this to a consistent notation?
- are being tested at CERN -> are tested at CERN
- ready ready -> ready
- physics physics -> physics
- with the mean -> with beam
