Fermilab Program and Plans Dmitri Denisov, Fermilab Instrumentation for Colliding Beam Physics, February 27 2017
U.S. Particle Physics Strategy In 2014 U.S. strategic planning panel provided recommendations covering all main topics of the U.S. particle physics They are grouped around “science drivers” Use the Higgs boson as a new tool for discovery Pursue the physics associated with neutrino mass Identify the new physics of dark matter Understand cosmic acceleration: dark energy and inflation Explore the unknown: new particles, interactions, and physical principles Fermilab is leading and actively involved in the experiments devoted to all “science drivers” 2 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Short Baseline Neutrino: MicroBooNE (ICARUS, SBND) SeaQuest Test beams Long Baseline Neutrino: NOvA, MINERvA (DUNE) Muon Campus: 8 GeV Proton Booster (g-2, Mu2e) 120 GeV Main Injector 3 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Long Term Beam Delivery Plans 2012 Plot The accelerator complex is focusing on delivering beams to Neutrino, fixed target, high intensity muon beams and test beam experiments Increased beam power from ~ 350 kW to ~700 kW (PIP project) 4 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Main Injector Beam Delivery in FY 2017 Providing ~5 . 10 20 protons at 120 GeV to the neutrino program per year 5 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Beam Power to Main Injector Neutrino Program Upgraded booster and main injector over last three years Doubled beam power to ~700 kW 6 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Fermilab Muon Campus mu2e g-2 Re-use of the antiproton production tunnels for muon production/cooling First muon beam to g-2 experiment this year, to mu2e experiment in 2020 7 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Muon Magnetic Moment g-2 experiment Puzzle of ~3 σ from BNL 2004 result New physics? BNL 39 ppm RMS FNAL 10 ppm RMS Experimental effect? Coil moved to Fermilab from BNL Higher intensity beam Better systematics ~4 times better accuracy, x20 data by 2019 Start data collection in 2017 8 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Lepton Flavor Violation: Mu2e Constructing experiment mu2e High intensity muon flux stopped on a nuclear target Monochromatic electron emission from µ to e conversion ~4 orders of magnitude improvement vs today’s limits down to ~10 -17 branching Mu2e Building 9 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program The three detector SBN program can make a definitive statement on the LSND/miniBooNE anomaly with the potential for discoveries in neutrino physics and developments in LAr technology for DUNE 10 Denisov - INSTR 2017
MiniBooNE Excess and ICARUS ICARUS refurbishment at CERN ICARUS building construction at Fermilab Excess of low energy neutrino events might be an indication of new physics ICARUS detector is under refurbishment at CERN and will arrive at Fermilab this year Largest LAr TPC detector 11 Denisov - INSTR 2017
MicroBooNE Experiment Operational MicroBooNE Event Display MicroBooNE is the first LAr TPC detector designed and built at Fermilab 170 tons of ultra-pure argon Collecting data since 2015 Expect first physics results this year 12 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Long Baseline Neutrino Program 13 Denisov - INSTR 2017
NOvA Experiment at Fermilab Liquid Scintillator Detector Collecting data since 2014 “Off axis” neutrino experiment with 14 kton far detector and 300 ton near detector Expected 3 σ mass hierarchy sensitivity Summer 2016 result 33 electron neutrino events at far detector tends to favor Normal Mass Hierarchy 14 Denisov - INSTR 2017
Projects Overview: LBNF and DUNE LBNF : DOE project with support from non-DOE partners. Provides facility infrastructure at two locations to support the experiment Near site : Fermilab – facilities to create neutrino beam Far site : Sanford Underground Research Facility, South Dakota DUNE : Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment – 40 kt of LAr at Stanford Near and far site detectors : U.S. as partner in international project 15 Denisov - INSTR 2017
