DetSuM: Detector Surrogate Model for LArTPC

In large neutrino experiments such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), estimating detector response uncertainties typically requires simulation samples that consume substantial computing resources and time. To mitigate this challenge, we present DetSuM, an uncertainty-aware surrogate model designed to capture the detector response variations with reduced computing load compared to full simulations. This poster describes the construction and evaluation of DetSuM using simulation and reconstruction datasets in a rare-event search at DUNE. We assess DetSuM's ability to predict key detector-response variations and their associated uncertainties, discuss current limitations, and outline improvements to extend its validity in systematics studies of DUNE physics.

Atmospheric Neutrinos: History and Future

Atmospheric neutrinos are produced when cosmic rays crash into the atmosphere. They have played a key role in the discovery of neutrino oscillation and continue to serve as an important natural neutrino source, covering a wide range of energy and oscillation baseline. In this talk, I’ll briefly introduce the production mechanism and major detection techniques, then highlight on the oscillation analyses with atmospheric neutrinos in large neutrino detectors such as Super-Kamiokande, IceCube, and DUNE. I will also review other atmospheric neutrino related physics.
