Latin America - UK Neutrino Initiative

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
