High energy particle physics seeks to find the fundamental constituents of matter and understand the forces between them. To accomplish this, powerful high energy accelerators are used to probe smallest possible scale along with complex, large scale detectors. With the discovery of the Higgs particle in 2012, which has been sought for over 5 decades and the subsequent measurements of its properties getting closer and closer to that predicted by the Standard Model, it is increasingly important for the field of high energy physics to fully understand the neutrino sector which deviates from the Standard Model. The precision measurements of oscillation properties, the mass hierarchy and the CP phase measurements demand high intensity neutrino beams and large mass detectors. he Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) are the US flagship experimental facility to enable the detailed study of the neutrino sector. In addition, these will also enable expanded study beyond neutrino sector and that of the Standard Model, including search for dark matter and for super nova.
In this talk, I will describe physics goals, current status and plan of DUNE, including its two large scale prototype detectors at CERN called ProtoDUNE.
