DUNE Neutrino Experiment Begins Underground Cryostat Construction

CERN, Fermilab, and the Sanford Underground Research Facility have commenced underground construction of two massive cryostat modules for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in South Dakota. These cryostats, designed to hold 17,000 tonnes of liquid argon each, represent a major milestone in the international effort to study neutrinos and fundamental questions about the universe. The detector apparatus is slated for completion by 2030, with neutrino beams arriving by 2031.
