As of January 22, 2015, the iIEB is dissolved and replaced by an Executive Board of the new experiment formed on that same day. See the: LBNF project. The new DUNE experiment does not yet have a web site.

More than 50 members of the international neutrino community came to a late-July summit at Fermilab. As a result of the meeting, an Interim International Executive Board was formed that will guide the scientific strategy for an international facility for deep underground neutrino and proton decay studies. The iiEB will also steer the community toward submitting a letter of intent to our Physics Advisory Committee this fall and a conceptual design report for the experiment by next summer.

This site is intended for sharing of information among iiEB members and between the iiEB and the international neutrino physics community.

About the transition to a new facility and experiment


As outlined in the 2014 report of the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), the U.S. plans to partner with the international neutrino physics community to develop a leading-edge facility for neutrino science and proton decay studies. This facility will be an internationally designed, coordinated and funded program, hosted at Fermilab, comprising the world's highest-intensity neutrino beam and  advanced underground detectors designed to both exploit this beam and observe galactic neutrinos from supernovae.

The experiments incorporated in this facility are expected to achieve transformative discoveries about neutrinos, making definitive determinations of neutrino properties,  the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and the possibility  of proton decay. These mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its innermost workings  and its eventual fate.

The present collaborations focused on long-baseline and galactic supernova neutrino physics and proton  decay have contributed to developing both a strong physics case and technological designs for experiments that would enable these discoveries. These collaborations will dissolve with the goal of participating in the new, international project that will bring together the collective worldwide expertise and the resources needed to realize the P5 vision through the process initiated by Fermilab and the U.S. Department of Energy.

The reformulated neutrino facility will build on Fermilab’s existing world-class accelerator complex, including the Main Injector and the planned Proton Improvement Plan (PIP-II), to supply the required intense beam of neutrinos to detectors both onsite at Fermilab and at a distant location.
