Exploring the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE)
Learn about the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and its mission to study the least well-known particles in the Standard Model, neutrinos. Discover how DUNE could help answer the Universe's biggest mysteries such as why the Universe is filled with matter and not antimatter.

Much ado about… the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

You have heard about #protoDUNE and @DUNEscience. But what do you know about what these experiments will study? Here are the basics (1/7): pic.twitter.com/HR7vRNQeuC -

While one of the least well-known types of particles in the #StandardModel, #neutrinos may hold the key to some of the Universe’s biggest mysteries such as why the Universe is filled with matter and not #antimatter. (2/7) -
So-called long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiments could help to answer these questions by studying how neutrinos change their “flavour”, or oscillate, as they travel over a long distance.

DUNE (USA) and Tokai to Kamioka (Japan) are two such facilities. (3/7) -
The CERN Neutrino Platform houses a large-scale demonstration for the DUNE experiment, #protoDUNE. On the outside, it looks like two large boxes encased in a red grating. They are the largest liquid-argon neutrino detectors in the world. (4/7) pic.twitter.com/XF7lHm2gD2

Since January 2023, the CERN Neutrino Platform has been preparing for #protoDUNE’s second run. Scientists will use this second run to determine how technology should be implemented in DUNE. (5/7)

#OnThisDay in 1956 Wolfgang Pauli was informed by telegram that #neutrinos had been detected from fission fragments – nearly 26 years after he first postulated their existence.
