International contributions to DUNE

Ten international funding agencies will contribute to the construction of the gigantic particle detectors for the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. DUNE will be the world’s most comprehensive experiment to study neutrinos: tiny, lightweight particles that permeate the universe but rarely interact with anything. DUNE will seek to determine whether neutrinos could be the reason the universe is made of matter; look for neutrinos emitted from exploding stars to learn more about the formation of neutron stars and black holes; and watch for a rare subatomic phenomenon that could elucidate the unification of nature’s forces.
