Project organizers hope that DUNE can go online in about 10 years. Plans call for a beam of neutrinos to be sent from Fermilab, outside Chicago, 20 miles below Earth’s surface to the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, S.D., 800 miles away. There images of the particle interactions will be captured in three dimensions by a detector in four massive liquid argon time-projection chambers. (Time-projection chambers, UTA pointed out, were developed in 1974 by David Nygren, a UTA Presidential Distinguished Professor of Physics, and have been used worldwide since then.)
