Description
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is designed to perform precision measurements of neutrino oscillations and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. One of the primary scientific goals of the experiment is the determination of the CP-violating phase in the neutrino sector with high precision. As DUNE moves toward its first physics results, a comprehensive understanding of neutrino interaction modeling is critical, given its significant impact on the sensitivity to oscillation parameters. In this talk, I will provide a general overview of the DUNE experiment, with a focus on our strategy for addressing neutrino interaction uncertainties. I will also highlight the status of interaction systematics development within DUNE, including the establishment of a framework for the efficient development and application of systematic uncertainty variations. A suite of ready-to-use systematic "dials" has been developed and validated, with several already adopted by other major neutrino experiments, including the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program and NOvA. This collaborative effort improves the robustness of the systematic models and provides valuable external feedback to refine DUNE’s future analyses.
