The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be comprised of “near detectors” at Fermilab in Illinois, where the neutrino beams will originate, and “far detectors” 800 miles away in South Dakota. A prototype of the far detectors, Proto-DUNE II is being built at CERN where it is expected to take data in 2023 using a proton beam originating from an offshoot of the Large Hadron Collider. The far detector technology to be evaluated at CERN utilizes a liquid argon time projection chamber assisted by a field cage that provides the uniform electric field required for nominal detector function. In this talk, we present details of the assembly of some of the field cage modules by a team of students and faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington as well as the progress of the Proto-DUNE-II project.
