Description

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a flagship international effort to advance our understanding of neutrino properties and probe for new physics. With its long-baseline configuration—spanning 1300 km from Fermilab to the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF)—DUNE is uniquely positioned to measure CP violation in the lepton sector, determine the neutrino mass ordering, and perform precision studies of neutrino oscillations. The experiment also offers sensitivity to a wide range of rare processes, including nucleon decay and neutrino signals from core-collapse supernovae.
DUNE will utilize a high-power, wide-band neutrino beam from Fermilab (1.2 MW, upgradeable to >2 MW), a sophisticated near detector complex for flux and interaction measurements, and a 70-kiloton total Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) far detector system comprised of 4 modules deployed 1.5 km underground. Together, these systems enable both high-statistics and high-precision measurements essential to DUNE’s broad physics program.
This talk will provide an overview of the DUNE physics goals and highlight the software supporting detector simulation, event reconstruction, and data analysis. These developments are central to achieving DUNE’s precision goals as the experiment moves toward the construction and commissioning of its first far detector module.
