Abstract
The discovery and the solid confirmation of neutrino flavor oscillation have been made throughout late 1990 to 2000s. Such oscillation is the clear proof of non-zero neutrino mass since this is caused by the fact that the neutrino mass eigenstates differ from that of the flavor. The neutrinos in the Standard Model, however, are massless leptons, and thus the neutrino flavor oscillation necessitates either the Standard Model to be significantly modified or a new theoretical paradigm to describe the universe better. In order to provide experimental information, it is essential for the properties of the neutrino oscillation be well understood through precision measurements of oscillation parameters, including the mixing angles, determination of the mass hierarchy between the three mass eigenstates and determination of the CP phase (Delta_CP) between neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations. Among the several next generation neutrino experiments, this presentation covers the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) which, with the high intensity neutrino beam facility, will help accomplish these goals. In this report, I will discuss the current status and plan of the DUNE experiment, including the results of the detector performance studies from the large scale prototype detectors operating at CERN and the timeline for construction and data taking of the experiment, as well as its physics prospects.
