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全球旗舰项目，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）将是世界上最强烈的高能中微子束。它将从1300公里外的伊利诺斯州费米实验室向南达科他州重达7万吨的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大规模实验，作为一个真正的国际项目运行。DUNE得到了美国和欧洲全球粒子物理界的广泛支持，发展中国家的兴趣也越来越大；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，由英国全面领导。LBNF/DUNE将承担一个改变游戏规则的中微子物理学项目。它的最高水平的科学目标是针对物理学中的重大问题：1)发现和测量中微子CP违反。中微子和反中微子之间的这种细微差别可能是宇宙中剩余物质的原因；2)精确的中微子物理学，包括质量等级的确定；3)寻找超越当前对中微子振荡理解的新物理学；4)观测来自星系核心坍缩超新星的电子中微子爆发，为中子星和可能的黑洞形成提供实时探测；5)寻找质子衰变，这在大多数新物理模型中都有，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，为大规模DUNE远端探测器的建设做出重大贡献。在这个提案中，英国科学家正在请求资源，为这个全球科学项目建造探测器元件的生产过程提供原型。
