PHYS.ORG: Crews create a blast to take the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to the next stage

Description

"The worldwide particle physics community is preparing in various ways for the day DUNE comes online, and this week, we take the material step of excavating rock to support the detector," said DUNE spokesperson Stefan Söldner-Rembold of the University of Manchester. "It's a wonderful example of collaboration: While excavation takes place in South Dakota, DUNE partners around the globe are designing and building the parts for the DUNE detector."
