Such a detector couldreconstruct particle direction and species using Cherenkovlight while also having the excellent energy resolutionand low threshold of a scintillator detector. Situateddeep underground, and utilizing new techniques in com-puting and reconstruction, this detector could achieveunprecedented levels of background rejection, enablinga rich physics program spanning topics in nuclear, high-energy, and astrophysics, and across a dynamic rangefrom hundreds of keV to many GeV. The scientific pro-gram would include observations of low- and high-energysolar neutrinos, determination of neutrino mass order-ing and measurement of the neutrino CP-violating phaseδ, observations of diffuse supernova neutrinos and neu-trinos from a supernova burst, sensitive searches fornucleon decay and, ultimately, a search for neutrino-less double beta decay, with sensitivity reaching thenormal ordering regime of neutrino mass phase space.This paper describesTheia, a detector design that in-corporates these new technologies in a practical and af-fordable way to accomplish the science goals describedabove.}, cin = {IKP-2}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IKP-2-20111104}, pnm = {612 - Cosmic Matter in the Laboratory (POF3-612)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-612}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000536300400001}, doi = {10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-7977-8}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/890580}, }
