Construction Begins on DUNE Neutrino Experiment Detectors in South Dakota

Crews from CERN, Fermilab, and SURF have started assembling the large steel structures for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment's (DUNE) far detectors, located nearly 1.5 kilometers underground in South Dakota. This milestone advances the world-leading experiment, which aims to study neutrinos and explore fundamental mysteries of the Universe, including its formation. Each cryostat will hold 17,000 tonnes of liquid argon.
