Photon Detection System Innovations ARAPUCA and XARAPUCA: Using a dichroic filter and a wavelength shifter light gets trapped in a box JINST 11 where it gets collected by C 02004, JINST 13 a C 04026 Si. PM 10/06/2019 Wavelength Shifting Foils: Highly reflecting dielectric foils with an evaporated film of TPB. It greatly increases the light yield, specially from light originating closer to the cathode. Iker de Icaza | New Perspectives 2019 9

Neutrino Oscillations There are three distinct flavours of neutrinos. Each flavour is a mixture of three different masses, each flavour has its own composition. Due to this mass difference, each component propagates differently in space. This means that the composition of neutrinos travelling in space changes, hence there’s a probability of finding it later with another flavour. 10/06/2019 Iker de Icaza | New Perspectives 2019 16
