The US-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be the next major global particle physics project. The long-baseline neutrino facility (LBNF) will fire neutrinos 1300 km from Fermilab in Illinois towards the deep underground 70,000 tonne DUNE detector in South Dakota to study neutrino oscillations. DUNE will be the first major US-hosted particle physics experiment run as a truly international project; DUNE already has broad support with over 1000 collaborators from 172 institutions in 32 nations. The aim of this proposal is to develop a research network between UK and Latin American institutions with the long-term goal of delivering economic benefit to Latin American countries by enhancing scientific and technological capabilities. DUNE provides a long-term world-leading project that will form the scaffolding around which the UK-LA collaborative efforts will be built.This one-year proposal is intended as the precursor to a larger targeted GCRF request tailored to the development goals of the participating nations.

美国主持的深地下中微子实验（DUNE）将是下一个重大的全球粒子物理项目。长基线中微子设施（LBNF）将从伊利诺斯州的费米实验室发射1300公里外的中微子，射向位于南达科他州的7万吨DUNE探测器，以研究中微子振荡。DUNE将是美国主办的第一个大型粒子物理实验，作为一个真正的国际项目运行；DUNE已经得到了来自32个国家172个机构的1000多名合作者的广泛支持。该提案的目的是在英国和拉丁美洲的机构之间建立一个研究网络，其长期目标是通过提高科学和技术能力为拉丁美洲国家带来经济利益。DUNE提供了一个长期的世界领先的项目，它将形成英国和洛杉矶合作努力的框架。这项为期一年的提案旨在作为一个更大的有针对性的GCRF请求的前奏，以适应参与国的发展目标。
