Astrophysics Lectures - The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment – A lecture by Dr. Stefan Söldner-Rembold

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are the largest international particle physics project ever built in the United States, hosted by Fermilab. DUNE is a groundbreaking experiment that will send the world’s most powerful neutrino beam from Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex 800 miles through the earth to the world’s most advanced liquid-argon neutrino detector, which will be located one mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. More than 1,000 scientists from institutions in over 30 countries are working on DUNE. They seek to find out the role neutrinos play in the universe and look for rare subatomic interactions never seen before. Are neutrinos the reason that the universe is filled with matter?  How do they contribute to the formation of black holes?  In this hour-long public lecture Dr. Stefan Söldner-Rembold, professor at the University of Manchester and co-spokesperson of the DUNE collaboration, presents the latest information on this project.  For further information see https://www.fnal.gov and https://www.fnal.gov/dune/ .
