​​​​​Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe LBNE's science document describes the design of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment, its technical capabilities, and the breadth of physics topics the experiment can address. The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the dynamics of the supernova bursts 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 Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. ​Front Matter PDF​ ​Abstract ​36 kB​ ​Author List 33 kB ​Table of Contents 133 kB​ ​List of Figures ​105 kB ​List of Tables ​80 kB ​How to Read this Document 103 kB​​ ​​ Chapters ​PDF ​​dd​ ​1.
