DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 6 6 m liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light.

The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM).

In order to position such concomitants of a life-threatening disease appropriately among the diagnostic options of psychosocial cancer care one is repeatedly confronted with the issue of giving a diagnosis from the area of reactions to burdens and adaptive disturbances (ICD 10: F: 43 ff). This touches the question of whether or not confronting a life-threatening disease in and by itself suffices to fully justify establishing one of the psychiatric diagnoses mentioned, which would imply that the intensity of the burden experienced justified the assumption of a psychiatric disturbance in the person affected.

Although the resonant amplitude is an order of magnitude smaller than that of the nonresonant continuum production of pi(0)pi(0), an enhanced interference signal is evident. A partial wave expansion is used to extract physics parameters.

August 1997
Examination of a 14-year-old male who was admitted to an inpatient unit with an acute paranoid syndrome yielded serious organic findings: macroencephaly, head tilted to one side, strabismus, neurological deficits, hydroencephaly and an expressive speech disorder. The personal and family history revealed a disturbance of motor development since infancy and psychiatric illness in the immediate family. The medication and the surgical procedure selected--endoscopic third ventriculostomy--are described and the difficult differential diagnosis is discussed.
