The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay -- these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume III of this TDR describes how the activities required to design, construct, fabricate, install, and commission the DUNE far detector modules are organized and managed. This volume details the organizational structures that will carry out and/or oversee the planned far detector activities safely, successfully, on time, and on budget. It presents overviews of the facilities, supporting infrastructure, and detectors for context, and it outlines the project-related functions and methodologies used by the DUNE technical coordination organization, focusing on the areas of integration engineering, technical reviews, quality assurance and control, and safety oversight. Because of its more advanced stage of development, functional examples presented in this volume focus primarily on the single-phase (SP) detector module.

- JUNO physics and detector (2021, background): “Moreover, its unique approach using medium-baseline reactor antineutrino oscillations will feature very different systematic uncertainties to those of other experiments, most notably accelerator [15, 41, 42, 43] and solar [44, 45] experiments.”
- Long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics potential of the DUNE experiment (2020, neutral): “Event rates are calculated with the assumption of 1.1 × 10 21 protons on target (POT) per year, which assumes a combined uptime and efficiency of the Fermilab accelerator accelerator complex and the LBNF beamline of 57% [5].”
