DUNE

Black Hills State University has officially become an institutional member of DUNE, joining the international collaboration of more than 1,500 collaborators representing 228 institutions in 38 countries and CERN.

SLAC researchers developed SPINE, a machine-learning program that reconstructs neutrino interactions from complex detector images. SPINE is currently deployed in neutrino experiments, including the SBN program and DUNE, to help researchers answer questions about neutrinos.

Construction of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is entering its next phase, marking a major step forward for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment hosted by Fermilab. With the arrival of critical components and growing momentum across partner institutions, DUNE is moving closer to unlocking long standing mysteries in particle physics and the origins of the universe.

UK scientists and engineers have reached a major production milestone completing half of the 137 giant neutrino sensors, known as Anode Plane Assemblies for DUNE. These giant sensors will detect the tiny electrical signals produced when neutrinos interact with liquid argon inside DUNE’s enormous underground detectors.

Big Picture Science discusses the breakthroughs around the detection of cosmic neutrinos with Kate Shaw, experimental particle physicist at the University of Sussex who works on DUNE.

Researchers from all over the world gathered recently at Unicamp for the Dune Collaboration Meeting to to discuss progress of the Dune Project led by Fermilab.

Crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility have moved about 39% of the I-beam steel needed to construct the cryotat for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. That represents nearly 2 million pounds of steel that completely fills the south cavern that is 500 feet long, 65 feet wide, and about 7 stories tall.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment led by Fermilab is included in the line up of most ambitious international science projects that demonstrates how modern science transcends borders and inspires new technologies.

Rice University’s DUNE-TECH program introduces undergraduates to the science behind DUNE, one of the nation’s most ambitious physics experiments.

Tyler Barrett, Charis-Kleio Koraka, Kevin Kelly and Silvia Zorzetti are the recipients of the 2026 URA Honorary Awards. The awards are presented each year by Universities Research Association to recognize significant contributions to research at Fermilab.
