Lead Research Organisation: University of Sussex
Department Name: Sch of Mathematical & Physical Sciences

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.

Planned Impact

The Impact Statement is centrally submitted through the main submission.
 
Description This grant was for R&D on the 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 further developed.
Exploitation Route We are now building the detectors for DUNE.
