First, there was LBNE, then ELBNF, and now the world’s most ambitious neutrino experiment/collaboration has converged on a long-term identity the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Last week the collaboration voted to elect co-spokespeople and Mark Thomson (Cambridge) and Andre Rubia (Zurich) were elected. A great deal of work lies ahead for both the co-spokespeople and the collaboration as a whole as we move toward reviews and planning for a 40 kt liquid argon-based detector situated a mile underground.
The first DUNE collaboration meeting will take place April 16th – 18th at Fermillab.
