DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dmitry Svirida (NRC 'Kurchatov Institute'\, P.N.Lebe
 dev Physical Institute RAS)\nThe DANSS detector recorded more than 10 mill
 ion antineutrino events from a nuclear reactor in almost 10 years of conti
 nuous running. The data taking has stopped in February 2026 in order to pe
 rform a significant upgrade. The obtained data sample exceeds that of any 
 other neutrino experiment in the world and features remarkably low contrib
 ution from the cosmic background below 2%. At the same time only moderate 
 energy resolution limits the sensitivity of the experiment to the New Phys
 ics searches. The upgrade is aimed at the significant\, more than 2 times\
 , improvement of the energy resolution\, along with the 70% increase of th
 e sensitive volume. The talk will cover the details of the production and 
 testing of the new scintillation counters for the sensitive volume\, the a
 nticipated changes in the DAQ system\, the projected energy and coordinate
  resolution from the MC simulation\, as well as the status and the schedul
 e of the upgrade works.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/626/cont
