How did we come to exist, and why? That's what the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is attempting to answer—at least partially. Known as DUNE, the U.S. Department of Energy initiative and global science project is investigating why the universe consists of matter rather than antimatter.
Earlier this year, UTA hosted a four-day DUNE meeting, welcoming about 150 of the world's leading physicists to campus.
"DUNE is the next big thing in particle physics," says Jaehoon Yu, physics professor and organizer of the meeting. "UTA's key role in this billion-dollar, U.S.-led project consolidates our international reputation as a powerhouse in this field."
DUNE focuses on neutrinos, subatomic particles that—along with their antimatter antineutrinos—oscillate as they move through space, changing form and mass. Scientists hope that studying these oscillations will reveal the imbalance between matter and antimatter, perhaps giving clues about how our universe came to exist.
The experiment features nearly 800 collaborators representing 145 institutions and 26 countries. Dr. Yu heads the Exotics Group, which searches for dark matter, while physics Associate Professor Amir Farbin leads a team that is designing the project's computing systems model.
Through collaborative innovations in cancer detection, anger management, tissue repair, and more, UTA is emerging as a leader in the life and health sciences.
