Prospects of Physics Beyond Standard Model at DUNE

Abstract: The precise determination of neutrino oscillation parameters in future neutrino experiments, such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermilab, requires high flux neutrino beams and powerful combination of near and far detectors.   The Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) is under construction to provide high intensity proton beams for high flux neutrino beams to the experiment and the near and far detector sites while the DUNE collaboration is working on designing and prototyping their detectors.  It is the high intensity proton beams and the powerful combination of near and far detectors being prepared for the oscillation measurements which make it possible for searching for physics beyond the Standard Model, which was inconceivable at a neutrino experiment in the past.  In this talk, I will discuss DUNE experiment itself, its beams and detectors, and discuss several BSM physics topics being explored and their sensitivity reaches.  I will then discuss what the important issues are to take full advantage of the experiment’s capabilities and the experiment’s current status and the latest schedule.
