Volume I. Introduction to DUNE
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay—these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. This TDR is intended to justify the technical choices for the far detector that flow down from the high-level physics goals through requirements at all levels of the Project. Volume I contains an executive summary that introduces the DUNE science program, the far detector and the strategy for its modular designs, and the organization and management of the Project. The remainder of Volume I provides more detail on the science program that drives the choice of detector technologies and on the technologies themselves. It also introduces the designs for the DUNE near detector and the DUNE computing model, for which DUNE is planning design reports. Volume II of this TDR describes DUNE\u27s physics program in detail. Volume III describes the technical coordination required for the far detector design, construction, installation, and integration, and its organizational structure. Volume IV describes the single-phase far detector technology. A planned Volume V will describe the dual-phase technology
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), far detector technical design report, volume III: DUNE far detector technical coordination
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay—these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume III of this TDR describes how the activities required to design, construct, fabricate, install, and commission the DUNE far detector modules are organized and managed. This volume details the organizational structures that will carry out and/or oversee the planned far detector activities safely, successfully, on time, and on budget. It presents overviews of the facilities, supporting infrastructure, and detectors for context, and it outlines the project-related functions and methodologies used by the DUNE technical coordination organization, focusing on the areas of integration engineering, technical reviews, quality assurance and control, and safety oversight. Because of its more advanced stage of development, functional examples presented in this volume focus primarily on the single-phase (SP) detector module

The Physics Program for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at the Fermilab Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) is described
Variable step-size implementation of sixth-order Numerov-type methods
The explicit sixth-order Numerov-type family of methods is considered. A new representative from this family is produced and equipped with a cheap step-size changing algorithm. Actually, after the completion of a step, this remains the same, halved, or doubled. The off-step points required for such technique are evaluated through local interpolant. Numerical tests over various problems illustrate the efficiency gained by this approach. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Local interpolants for Numerov-type methods and their implementation in variable step schemes
The classical explicit fourth-order Numerov-type method is considered. The equations of condition for deriving the corresponding interpolants are given. Then using a local error estimation, we may construct a stable variable step scheme. Applying this new implementation in a set of problems, we get very pleasant results. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Explicit, Eighth-Order, Four-Step Methods for Solving y″= f(x, y)
A family of explicit, eighth-order, four-step methods for the numerical solution of y″= f(x, y) is studied. This family is derived through an interpolatory approach after using three stages (i.e., function evaluations) per step. Three coefficients of the methods in this family remain free. Thus we may use them for achieving zero-stability, non-empty intervals of periodicity or absolute stability and reducing the phase lag. We may even construct a method that attains ninth algebraic order for scalar autonomous problems. A discussion is given about various numerical instabilities that are usually present in such type of multistep methods, and it is shown how to circumvent them. We conclude with extended numerical tests over a set of problems justifying our effort of dealing with the new methods. © 2020, Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society and Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia
Low-order, P-stable, two-step methods for use with lax accuracies
A semi-implicit family of two-step methods is considered for the numerical solution of (Formula presented.). These methods are hybrid and waste two stages (function evaluations) per step in order to attain fourth algebraic order while other methods of this type need three stages per step. Exploiting this improvement, we derive a particular method and conclude with a series of numerical tests on stiff periodic problems that illustrate its efficiency. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Exponential integrators for linear inhomogeneous problems
We consider the mildly stiff and stiff inhomogeneous linear initial value Problems sharing constant coefficients. Exponential Runge–Kutta methods are considered to tackle this problem. For this type of problem, we were able to save a function evaluation (stage) per step compared to the best available methods. This is important, as seen in various computational experiments where our current approach outperforms older ones. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Trigonometric fitted modification of RADAU5
Implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) methods are in common use when addressing stiff initial value problems (IVP). They usually share the property of A-stability that is of crucial importance in solving the latter type of IVP. Radau IIA family of implicit RK methods is among the preferred ones. Especially its fifth-order representative named RADAU5 has received a lot of attention for use with lax accuracies. Here, we try the lesser possible perturbation of its coefficients. Then, we derive a trigonometric fitted modification that is intended to be applied in periodic IVPs. Numerical tests over a variety of problems with oscillatory solutions justify our effort. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
