Excavating about 800,000 tons of rock a mile underground, bringing it to the surface, and then transporting it to its final resting place is a huge job and part of the LBNF/DUNE project. Creating the infrastructure for that job is a huge amount of work by itself and is going on right now.

Agencies in the United States and France have signed statements expressing interest to work together on the development and production of technical components for PIP-II, a major particle accelerator project with substantial international contributions. In addition, the French agencies also plan to collaborate on DUNE, an international flagship science project that will unlock the mysteries of neutrinos.

The agreement launches a multinational collaboration to build a powerful new accelerator at DOE’s Fermilab complex. Italy and its National Institute of Nuclear Physics will provide major contributions to the construction of the 176-meter-long superconducting particle accelerator that is the centerpiece of the PIP-II project.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.6 million grant to four U.S. universities for work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Experience gained during the construction of prototype detectors paves the way toward the final design of the DUNE detectors.

Fermilab has requested support from local fire departments to contain leak and monitor situation.

Physicists on the MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermilab have presented their first collection of science results at the international Neutrino 2018 conference in Germany.

As the DUNE collaboration grows, collaborators make progress on the two ProtoDUNE detectors at CERN.

A five-member bipartisan delegation toured the laboratory, met a Nobel laureate, and discussed the flagship LBNF/DUNE neutrino project.

MiniBooNE scientists discover a way to eliminate a major source of uncertainty in subatomic measurements with muon neutrinos.
