Notre Dame DUNE Collaborators are working hard to produce mechanical frames for the photon detection system of the DUNE FD2-VD far detector. Machine shops both on Campus and in the South Bend area are producing customed designed parts, and Notre Dame researchers are quality control checking, cleaning, and kitting these parts. In 2025, we produced about 30 frames. In 2026, we will produce nearly 700! You can see the team as of the Spring 2026 semester above. Below, 2026 REU student Sabina Day is kitting fasteners.
