Description

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) utilizes Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) technology to deeply probe $\nu$ and beyond Standard Model (BSM) interactions with great granularity. The DUNE Technical Design Report (TDR) prioritizes BSM searches for baryon number violation (BNV) modes such as proton decay and neutron-antineutron transformation ($n\rightarrow\bar{n}$), showing expected lower limit targets for DUNE. The previous DUNE analysis techniques used for DUNE's $n\rightarrow\bar{n}$ target will be highlighted, as well as ongoing studies utilizing similar procedures which move toward understanding intranuclear modeling systematics related to this unknown rare process.
