<p>Assay sensitivity in 22RV1 prostate cancer cells spiked-in healthy donor blood run through the GEDI device. AR-FL (blue) and AR-V7 (red) mRNA expression (#copies per sample) was determined by ddPCR in varying amounts of 22RV1 cells in the presence of healthy donor blood run through the GEDI device. The assay, reliably and reproducibly detects both transcripts in single spiked-in cells. The table below the graph shows the raw data (copy number) for each transcript per condition. Healthy donor blood PBMCs alone were used as a control. AR, androgen receptor; ddPCR, droplet digital polymerase chain reaction; FL, full length; GEDI, geometrically enhanced differential immunocapture; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell.</p>

The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay -- these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. DUNE is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume II of this TDR, DUNE Physics, describes the array of identified scientific opportunities and key goals. Crucially, we also report our best current understanding of the capability of DUNE to realize these goals, along with the detailed arguments and investigations on which this understanding is based. This TDR volume documents the scientific basis underlying the conception and design of the LBNF/DUNE experimental configurations. As a result, the description of DUNE's experimental capabilities constitutes the bulk of the document. Key linkages between requirements for successful execution of the physics program and primary specifications of the experimental configurations are drawn and summarized. This document also serves a wider purpose as a statement on the scientific potential of DUNE as a central component within a global program of frontier theoretical and experimental particle physics research. Thus, the presentation also aims to serve as a resource for the particle physics community at large.
