Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, DUNE, is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with the main goal of precisely measuring the neutrino oscillation parameters. DUNE will employ the most intense beam of neutrinos produced at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, FNAL, in Batavia, Illinois and aimed at the far detector complex located 1300km away and 1.5km below the surface in the Sanford Underground Research Facility, SURF, in Lead, South Dakota. The baseline for the far detector complex features a set of liquid argon time projection chambers, LArTPC, with a total volume of 70 ktons, which will record the neutrino interactions, while a near detector complex at FNAL will analyze the content of the neutrino beam. Furthermore, the scientific reach of this US flagship project spans the range from proton decay to the observation of neutron stars and black holes. The DUNE collaboration is an international team of 1000+ scientists and engineers who are working on achieving those goals. This presentation will discuss the current status of DUNE.
