Description
DUNE is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment and underground neutrino observatory using liquid argon time projection chamber technology. DUNE will measure neutrino and antineutrino oscillations as a function of energy over more than a full oscillation period. It will definitively resolve the neutrino mass ordering and measure the mixing matrix parameters, including the CP-violating phase, as well as search for deviations from three-flavour mixing. DUNE is also sensitive to MeV-scale neutrinos, with unique sensitivity to electron neutrinos from the neutronization burst of a supernova, and complementary to other experiments that are predominantly sensitive to electron antineutrinos. DUNE has broad sensitivity to new physics, both from production in the beamline as well as in the cosmos. The excavation project of the far detector site at SURF is complete, and DUNE is on schedule for first physics results in this decade.
This talk will cover the status of DUNE, the exciting future science program, including updated sensitivities with the most recent schedule, and results from DUNE prototype detectors.
