Experimental Seminar Series

Opportunities and Status of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment

Seminar Date: Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: Madrone
Abstract: In the US the strategy for a future long-baseline experiment has been under development over the last decade. The scientific goals of a future US based long-baseline neutrino project have been discussed and reviewed extensively by the US National Research Council and the Particle Physics Advisory Panels with recommendation for a large capable underground detector located at a distance of > 1000 km from Fermilab. In this presentation, the scientific requirements for an accelerator based long-baseline experiment will be reviewed including implications of the new determination of the third mixing angle (theta_13~9o) . The design of the US Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment with a broad-band beam from Fermilab to the Homestake mine in South Dakota 1300 km away to a liquid argon time projection detector will be described.
