From Le Scienze, Sept. 21, 2018: Successo del prototipo dell’esperimento DUNE, allestito presso il centro di ricerca ginevrino: sono i primi indizi del passaggio di neutrini nei rivelatori costituiti da enormi serbatoi di argon liquido. È l’inizio di un progetto che porterà alla realizzazione di un apparato sperimentale simile ma 20 volte più grande al FermiLab di Chicago.

From Udaipur Kiran, Sept. 18, 2018: More than 1,000 scientists and engineers from 32 countries spanning five continents — Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America — are working on the development, design and construction of the DUNE detectors.
From everyeye.it, Sept. 23, 2018: Il più grande rilevatore di neutrini ad argon liquido al mondo ha appena identificato il suo primo neutrino: inizia così la storia del Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From La Liberté, Sept. 18, 2018: Installé au CERN, le plus grand détecteur de neutrinos à argon liquide au monde vient d’enregistrer ses premières traces de particules. C’est le début d’un nouveau chapitre dans l’histoire de l’expérience internationale DUNE.
From Noticias CIEMAT, Sept. 18, 2018: La colaboración científica de DUNE, donde participan el CIEMAT, el Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE), el Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC) y el Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT), cree que los neutrinos pueden tener la respuesta a una de las principales cuestiones de la Física: por qué vivimos en un Universo dominado por la materia.
Even though the ProtoDUNE time projection chambers are small compared to the planned DUNE far detectors, the data volume that these detectors produce are similar in size to what is coming out of the largest LHC experiments.
From Science News, Sept. 18, 2018: An enormous future particle detector is now within closer reach. The first data from a prototype experiment, ProtoDUNE, hint that scientists may have what it takes to build the planned neutrino detector.
From William & Mary, Sept. 18, 2018: Scientists on the DUNE collaboration think that neutrinos may help answer one of the most pressing questions in physics: why we live in a universe dominated by matter. The project includes a substantial William & Mary contingent.
From University of Manchester, Sept. 18, 2018: The largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world has recorded its first particle tracks, signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The university is playing a leading role in a £65million flagship global science project.
From CERN, Sept. 18, 2018: The technology of the first ProtoDUNE detector will be the same to be used for the first of the DUNE detector modules in the United States.
