Where is the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) being built?
Quick Answer
DUNE is being built between Fermilab in Illinois and the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. Its far detector will be deep underground in the former Homestake mine.
The Full Story
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, links Fermilab near Chicago, Illinois, with the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The far detector will be installed deep underground in the former Homestake gold mine. DUNE is designed to study neutrino oscillations, supernova neutrinos, and possible matter-antimatter asymmetry. It is one of the largest particle-physics projects currently underway.
