The facilities envisioned are expected to enable many other science opportunities due to the high event rates and excellent detector resolution from beam neutrinos in the near detector and atmospheric neutrinos in the far detector. Abstract: The Physics Program for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at the Fermilab Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) is described. They are the most abundant matter particle in the universe yet very difficult to detect. The ND system will be located at Fermilab, 574 m downstream and 60 m underground 37 from the neutrino beam source point.
DUNE is dedicated to study one mysterious elementary particle: the neutrino. DUNE at long-baseline neutrino facility (LBNF) will consist of ND and FD with similar target material but the difference in dimension and technology. To fulfill these and other goals as a world-class facility, LBNE is conceived around four central components: (1) a new, intense wide-band neutrino source at Fermilab, (2) a fine-grained `near' neutrino detector just downstream of the source, (3) the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota at an optimal distance (~1300 km) from the neutrino source, and (4) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) deployed there as a 'far' detector. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a future leading-edge detector complex, hosted at the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF). Chief among the discovery opportunities are observation of CP symmetry violation in neutrino mixing, resolution of the neutrino mass hierarchy, determination of maximal or near-maximal mixing in neutrinos, searches for nucleon decay signatures, and detailed studies of neutrino bursts from galactic supernovae. LBNE has been developed to provide a unique and compelling program for the exploration of key questions at the forefront of particle physics. Detector infrastructure and neutrino beam. In this document, we describe the wealth of science opportunities and capabilities of LBNE, the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment.
