DUNE: A Large International Collaboration From the Start

LBNF/DUNE will be the first large-scale scientific endeavor hosted by the United States that is set up as a truly international project from the start. The Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) will consist of a 1.2 MW proton beam neutrino source at Fermilab in Illinois, sending high-energy neutrinos to large liquid argon detectors located 1300 kilometers away and a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The detectors will be constructed and operated by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) collaboration. DUNE is a global collaboration of over 800 scientists and engineers from 145 institutes from 27 nations. The international governance of LBNF and DUNE is adapted from the successful model of the LHC at CERN. The status of LBNF/DUNE and the model adopted for the international partnerships for LBNF and DUNE will be discussed.
