Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generationlong-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a high-power,broadband neutrino beam, a highly capable near detector located on site atFermilab, in Batavia, Illinois, and a massive liquid argon time projectionchamber (LArTPC) far detector located at the 4850L of Sanford UndergroundResearch Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The long-baseline physics sensitivitycalculations presented in the DUNE Physics TDR, and in a related physics paper,rely upon simulation of the neutrino beam line, simulation of neutrinointeractions in the near and far detectors, fully automated eventreconstruction and neutrino classification, and detailed implementation ofsystematic uncertainties. The purpose of this posting is to provide asimplified summary of the simulations that went into this analysis to thecommunity, in order to facilitate phenomenological studies of long-baselineoscillation at DUNE. Simulated neutrino flux files and a GLoBES configurationdescribing the far detector reconstruction and selection performance areincluded as ancillary files to this posting. A simple analysis using theseconfigurations in GLoBES produces sensitivity that is similar, but notidentical, to the official DUNE sensitivity. DUNE welcomes those interested inperforming phenomenological work as members of the collaboration, but alsorecognizes the benefit of making these configurations readily available to thewider community.
