Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | This grant was for R&D on the LBND (now DUNE) detectors. Software was developed that will be used in the experiment to do physics in the future when the detector is built. Concepts for triggering the future detector on bursts of neutrinos from galactic supernova were developed. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings from this grant are being taken forward by the international DUNE collaboration. |

| Description | The Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex runs an intense outreach programme, closely linked to the research carried out within the Department. Our WWW is http://www.sussex.ac.uk/physics/outreach. Our activities not only involve research talks, but also hands on activities that introduce the basics of our research to the public. We work with members of the general public, and school and college students. We work with over 12,000 people per year, two-thirds of who are children of school age. We interact through stands at various science fairs and in classroom-type setting (including our travelling planetarium). |
