SUMMARY:DUNE: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment - Mark Thomson (Cam

DESCRIPTION:Fermilab is undertaking an ambitious program of long- and shor
 t-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments utilizing large Liquid Argon (
 LAr) TPC detectors. The flagship of this program is the DUNE/LBNF project\
 , which is the highest priority of the US domestic particle physics progra
 m in the next decade. A high-power neutrino beam will be fired 1300 km fro
 m Fermilab towards a 40\,000 ton LAr-TPC detector\, located a mile undergr
 ound at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. In this
  colloquium\, I will review the scientific goals of DUNE\, focussing on ne
 utrino physics and\, in particular\, the potential for the first definitiv
 e observation of CP violation in the leptonic sector. I will discuss the c
 urrent status of the LBNF/DUNE and the recent rapid progress that has been
  made towards its realization as a truly international project.
