Can someone explain the DUNE experiment?

Sometime soon, an experiment will be conducted that involves doing something that may reveal the existence of more dimensions.
Can someone explain this to me in layman's terms? Is this experiment actually breaching those dimensions or only determining they might exist?

The Ifth of Oofth

Any chance you remember the name of the experiment, or which lab might be involved?

The people who were in a panic called it the Dune Experiment, and it involved an 800-mile tunnel.
Fermilab? Neutrinos?

A bit more advanced than an "ELI5" summary, but not too deep.
I mean, they're building the thing like a mile deep, but not that kind of deep.
You know.

It's a neutrino experiment where both the source and the detector are deep underground, and the neutrinos go through a chord of the earth about a thousand miles long. What they are looking for is features to the scattering, absorption, and oscillation of these neutrinos, to determine their behavior when going through a dense medium. By applying existing conservation and quantum mechanical laws deductive reasoning can be used, to possibly infer such things as the need for additional spatial dimensions.

These guys explain it as well as anyone.

It's only you, it can't be me. For I myself refuse to be.
