DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Saba Parsa (University of Bern)\nThe LArTPC technolo
 gy\, in the last decade has witnessed several novelties\, preparing the st
 age for the next generation of large scale long baseline neutrino experime
 nts such as DUNE.\nThe SoLAr detector concept aims to extend the sensitivi
 ties of such detectors to the MeV energy range\, and expands their physics
  reach to precision measurement of solar and supernovae neutrinos.\nThe co
 re concept is centered around an integrated charge-light readout plane\, c
 onsisting of pixel pads for charge collection and VUV SiPMs for direct det
 ection of LAr scintillation light. The main challenges are to achieve low 
 energy thresholds with an excellent energy resolution and successfully per
 form background rejection using pulse shape discrimination.\nA staged prot
 otyping program is planned to demonstrate the technology viability of the 
 detector concept step by step. In October 2022\, a small scale SoLAr proto
 type was constructed and tested in LAr at Bern University. Here we present
  the results from the first prototype run with cosmics muons and discuss t
 he roadmap to a ton scale demonstrator at Boulby Underground Laboratory.\n
