Abstract

ProtoDUNE-SP is a single-phase liquid argon (LAr) TPC located at CERN’s neutrino platform facility. This detector is a large scale prototype providing, for the first time, a full validation of the use of the membrane tank technology for large dimension cryostats. With more than 2 years of continuous and stable operation, protoDUNE-SP demonstrates the reliability of the LAr TPC technology for the 10-kton fiducial mass detectors for the DUNE experiment. In this talk the design of the prototype will be presented. The TPC and light system detector performances recently published[1] will be also reviewed.
