The International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) was founded in 1978 and was the first institution in Italy to promote post-graduate courses leading to a Doctor Philosophiae (or PhD) degree. A centre of excellence among Italian and international universities, the school has around 65 teachers, 100 post docs and 245 PhD students, and is located in Trieste, in a campus of more than 10 hectares with wonderful views over the Gulf of Trieste.
SISSA hosts a very high-ranking, large and multidisciplinary scientific research output. The scientific papers produced by its researchers are published in high impact factor, well-known international journals, and in many cases in the world's most prestigious scientific journals such as Nature and Science. Over 900 students have so far started their careers in the field of mathematics, physics and neuroscience research at SISSA.

The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon
time projection chamber (LArTPC) that was constructed and operated
in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4 beamline. This detector
is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep
Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at
the Sandford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South
Dakota, U.S.A. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size
components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of
7 × 6 × 7.2 m3. The H4 beam delivers incident
particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle
identification. ProtoDUNE-SP's successful operation between 2018 and
2020 demonstrates the effectiveness of the single-phase far detector
design. This paper describes the design, construction, assembly and
operation of the detector components.
