The LBNF/DUNE project is a global flagship initiative in high-energy particle physics that addresses key questions on the origin and structure of the universe. The long-baseline neutrino facility (LBNF) will be the world's most intense high-energy neutrino beam. It will fire neutrinos 1300 km from Fermilab in Illinois towards the 70,000 ton DUNE detector in South Dakota in order to study neutrino oscillations. DUNE will be the first large-scale US-hostedexperiment run as a truly international project. DUNE has broad support from the global particle physics community in the US and Europe and with growing interest in developing countries; DUNE currently is a scientific collaboration of over 950 collaborators from 30 nations, with overall UK leadership.LBNF/DUNE will undertake a game-changing programme of neutrino physics. Its highest-level scientific goals target big questions in physics: 1) Discovery and measurements of neutrino CP violation. This subtle difference between neutrinos and antineutrinos could be responsible for the remaining matter in the universe;2) Precision neutrino physics, including the definitive determination of the mass hierarchy;3) Search for new physics beyond the current understanding of neutrino oscillations;4) Observation of the electron neutrino burst from a galactic core-collapse supernova, providing a real-time probe of neutron star and possibly black hole formation;5) Search for proton decay, expected in most models of new physics, but not yet observed.The UK plans to make a major contribution to the construction of the massive DUNE far detector, through a partnership between UK universities, UK national laboratories and UK industry. In this proposal UK scientists are requesting resources to prototype the production processes for the construction of detector elements for this global scientific project.

LBNF/DUNE 项目是高能粒子物理学领域的一项全球旗舰计划，旨在解决有关宇宙起源和结构的关键问题。长基线中微子设施（LBNF）将是世界上最强的高能中微子束。它将向距伊利诺伊州费米实验室 1300 公里外的南达科他州 7 万吨 DUNE 探测器发射中微子，以研究中微子振荡。 DUNE 将是第一个由美国主办的真正国际项目的大型实验。 DUNE 得到了美国和欧洲全球粒子物理学界的广泛支持，并且发展中国家的兴趣与日俱增； DUNE 目前是一个由来自 30 个国家的 950 多名合作者组成的科学合作项目，英国在总体上处于领先地位。LBNF/DUNE 将开展一项改变游戏规则的中微子物理项目。其最高级别的科学目标针对物理学中的重大问题：1）发现和测量中微子CP破坏。中微子和反中微子之间的这种微妙差异可能是宇宙中剩余物质的原因；2）精确中微子物理学，包括质量等级的明确确定；3）寻找超出当前中微子振荡理解的新物理学；4）观测银河系核心塌陷超新星的电子中微子爆发，提供中子星和可能黑洞的实时探测 形成；5) 寻找质子衰变，这是大多数新物理学模型所期望的，但尚未观察到。英国计划通过英国大学、英国国家实验室和英国工业界之间的合作，为大型 DUNE 远探测器的建设做出重大贡献。在这项提案中，英国科学家正在请求资源来原型制作该全球科学项目探测器元件构造的生产过程。
