Towards a Public Event Display for DUNE

Abstract

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation long baseline neutrino experiment based at Fermilab, with a near detector near the beam target and a Far Detector (FD) in South Dakota. As the experiment prepares for its first data runs, creating pathways for public engagement and data transparency is essential. We present the first-ever DUNE event display designed for public outreach and education. Developed using data from the ProtoDUNE detectors at the CERN Neutrino Platform, this tool provides an intuitive and interactive interface that allows non-experts to visualise and explore particle interactions in a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC). By translating raw experimental data into a browser-accessible format, we establish the essential infrastructure for DUNE’s pathway to open data. This talk will detail the technical development of the display, its current implementation with ProtoDUNE data, and the strategic roadmap for integrating it into DUNE’s long-term open-access framework.
