Description
The upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will employ four far detector (FD) modules. Though, the first three modules are likey to be liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs), the nature of the fourth FD module to be installed is still under discussion. One of the leading alternative technology for the fourth module is water based liquid scintillator (WbLS), also known as THEIA project. Such a hybrid detector is expected to have superior energy resolution (which helps in probing the oscillation patterns more precisely) due to the scintillation, as well as directional capabilities (helps in identifying neutrinos from astrophysical sources and in reducing backgrounds) due to Cerencov radiation in water. In this poster, we compare the physics reach of a LArTPC FD module and a WbLS FD module. We focus on identifying more than one oscillation cycles, thereby improving the sensitivity reach to the oscillation parameters $\theta_{23}, \delta_{13}$ and $\Delta m^{2}_{31}$. We also estimate the precisions with which these parameters can be reconstructed using two different detection techniques.
