Now that the excavation of 800,000 tons of rock from the Sanford Underground Research Facility is complete, LBNF-DUNE teams are working on the the far detector in South Dakota and the near detector at Fermilab in Illinois. The science collaboration includes more than 35 countries and DOE’s Office of Science is supporting the LBNF-DUNE to help answer some of physics’ biggest questions.
Syracuse University News, October 14, 2024
Faculty and students in the Experimental Neutrino Physics group at Syracuse University are working on DUNE detector construction, operation and analysis. This includes collaboration work on the the 2×2 prototype, a new prototype “pixel” Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber detector and the Short-Baseline Near Detector.

A repost of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Now that the excavation of the LBNF-DUNE project is complete, science and engineering teams are developing the detectors and systems DUNE will use to study neutrinos. The launch of LBNF/DUNE will bring a new era in understanding neutrinos and knowing more about our universe as a whole.

The 2×2 detector has captured its first neutrino interactions at Fermilab with help from scientists at SLAC. The prototype neutrino detector will help fine-tune a full-size version of the DUNE Near Detector Liquid Argon detector and will capture up to 10,000 neutrino interactions per day.
The Infrastructure Show podcasts of Northwestern University, August 1, 2024
Fermilab’s Ron Ray speaks with the Infrastructure Show about the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and why the experiment will study to understand neutrinos.
NPR, September 24, 2024
At the beginning of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter collided and there should have been nothing left. Yet, matter won out but why? Fermilab scientist Jessica Esquivel talks with NPR about the mysteries of neutrinos for answers.

DUNE is designed to detect the Universe’s most antisocial particle: the neutrino.
South Dakota Public Broadcasting, August 19, 2024
Two colossal caverns, each more than 500 feet long and seven-stories tall, were completed to contain the gigantic particle detector modules for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, an international collaboration led by Fermilab. A third cavern will house utilities for operation of the DUNE far detector.
