The US-hosted DUNE experiment is a major international particle physics project and with over 1400 collaborators from 30 institutions in over 30 countries is comparable in size to the experiments running at the LHC at CERN. It is designed to study oscillations of neutrinos emitted from Fermilab near Chicago to the SURF Laboratory in South Dakota 1300 km away. The 70 000 tonne liquid argon detectors allow addressing the the highest-level scientific goals and big questions in physics:- Discovery and measurements of neutrino CP violation, a key ingredient in understanding the matter dominance in our Universe, as well as searches for physics beyond the standard paradigm;- Observation of the electron neutrino burst from a galactic core-collapse supernova; - Search for proton decay, expected in most models of new physics, but not yet observed.These are questions at the forefront of particle physics research and require a major international project such as DUNE to resolve. The aim of this proposal is to continue developing a research network between UK and Latin American institutions with the long-term goal of delivering economic benefit to Latin American countries by enhancing scientific and technological capabilities. Meaningful involvement of Latin American groups in the science, construction and operation of DUNE would boost the development of experimental particle physics in these countries, and allow them to benefit from knowledge exchange brought about through international collaboration. DUNE provides a remarkable and inspiring opportunity for nations around the globe to collaborate on the largest and most ambitious neutrino experiment to date.

美国主办的 DUNE 实验是一项重大的国际粒子物理项目，拥有来自 30 多个国家 30 个机构的 1400 多名合作者，其规模与欧洲核子研究组织 (CERN) 大型强子对撞机 (LHC) 进行的实验相当。它的目的是研究从芝加哥附近的费米实验室发射到 1300 公里外的南达科他州 SURF 实验室的中微子振荡。 70 000 吨液氩探测器可以解决物理学中最高水平的科学目标和重大问题：- 发现和测量中微子 CP 破坏，这是理解我们宇宙中物质主导地位以及寻找超越物理的关键因素标准范式；- 观测银河系核心塌陷超新星爆发的电子中微子； - 寻找质子衰变，这是大多数新物理学模型所期望的，但尚未观察到。这些是粒子物理学研究的前沿问题，需要像 DUNE 这样的重大国际项目来解决。该提案的目的是继续发展英国和拉丁美洲机构之间的研究网络，长期目标是通过增强科技能力为拉丁美洲国家带来经济利益。拉丁美洲团体有意义地参与 DUNE 的科学、建设和运营将促进这些国家实验粒子物理学的发展，并使他们能够从国际合作带来的知识交流中受益。 DUNE 为全球各国合作开展迄今为止规模最大、最雄心勃勃的中微子实验提供了一个非凡且鼓舞人心的机会。
