Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long baseline experiment under construction in the United States. Using a high-intensity neutrino beam produced at Fermilab, DUNE will measure the oscillation of muon (anti)neutrinos into electron (anti)neutrinos with a kilo tonne scale detector located in South Dakota. A near detector will be constructed in Fermilab to constrain the un-oscillated neutrino flux and to reduce detector-associated systematic uncertainties. DUNE will carry out a precision measurement of neutrino oscillations to determine the neutrino mass ordering and whether the CP symmetry is violated in the leptonic sector. The DUNE physics program is not only limited to neutrino oscillations. DUNE will also search for supernova neutrinos, proton decay and BSM particles to list a few. In this talk, I will give an overview of the DUNE experiment and its expected sensitivity. In addition, I will provide an update on the DUNE construction progress.
