Preface: “Long-Baseline” Definition

Dictionary definition of long - “having considerable linear extent in space”

Longer than before / Off the site of the accelerator

Beam -- L >> length of beam pipe YES

Which implies the far detector sees a point source of neutrinos

Physics – L >> E/(2.54 m322 ) ~ 1500km NO

Preface:[Factors in North America/US]

• National Planning in the US is done by a panel called HEPAP (High Energy Physics Advisory Panel)

• Long-Term Planning is done every few years by subpanels

• A recent innovation is to have a panel called P5 (Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel) maintain a roadmap.

• The highest priority project in a 2001 report was the ILC (Bagger-Barish Panel)

• The ILC Central Design Group Reference Design Report reported an ILC cost in August 2007. The advertised cost was $6.6B. The estimated US project cost is $21.9B. [These are the same number!]

• Too much ->-> Therefore new study

P5 report May 29 08 report aka Baltay panel

• To have some more facts in this talk, I’ll mention several things having to do with baseball*.

Fully realizing a large fraction of my audience doesn’t care in the least about baseball

MINOS - m232

Energy Spectrum

Best Fit:|m2| = 2.43x10-3 eV2

sin2(2) =1.00

|m2| =(2.43±0.13) x 10-3 eV2 (68% C.L.)

e for 13

Antineutinos for m232

Cosmic RaysCharge Ratio

• Previously

flat• First rise in Charge Ratio

• Relevant variable is not E by Ecos

• Can be used to measure K+/K- & +/-

• Related to TeV associated production

• Relevant for Neutrino Telescope backgrounds ()

e Sensitivity for 13

At CHOOZ limit expect 12 νe signal events and 42 background events with 3.25x1020 protons. Use sidebands to study predicted far detector backgrounds.

Baseball

They play almost every day (162-182/year) Many fans appreciate statistics You can understand about 70% of the game in

30 minutes Much that remains is fairly subtle Huge influence - metaphors on English language(MVP, double play, off base, hit it out of the park, pinch

hitter, foul ball, all-star, big league, rain check, …) Most common questions when I take a European to a

baseball game (~40,000)– Why are there no policeman?– What is light beer?

The Ash River site is the furthestavailable site from Fermilab alongthe NuMI beamline. This maximizesNOA’s sensitivity to the mass ordering.

NOAA significant Issue

• It takes a long time to build & fill• It is desirable to take data before it is complete

Gluing & Structural Engineering challenges

NOA oscillations

• NOA was approved at Fermilab and construction funds were included in the DOE 07-08 proposed budget ($12M first year of $260M)

• Funds also in Congressional budgets, but retroactively zero’d in a December 07 compromise

• P5 report recommended NOA, but not in all funding scenarios.

• A supplemental funding bill in July 08 included $9.2 M for NOA

• It recently passed its (second) CD2 review – not yet signed.

• Hardware & Civil projects that had been delayed are gearing back up.

Chicago Cubs

• Haven’t won “World Series” since 1908

• 1630 teams• Cubs 4 wins -0 losses

LB-DUSELA significant Issue

• It will take a long time to build & fill

• It will be desirable to take data before it is complete One of the arguments for Modular H2O

Water or Liquid Argon?

On-Axis or Off-Axis?

• On-Axis More flux

• Off-Axis Less Background

• Design a Flexible Beam?

One (unofficial) notion of a LB-DUSEL schedule

DUSEL long-baselineis a vision

The vision requires: (all cost figures MCG rumor quality)– DUSEL ($500M+)– A new beamline at Fermilab ($250M)– Project X ($1B)– A new huge detector ($500M-1B)

None of these currently exist or are “approved”

It is not clear that this fits the funding assumptions of P5, or that it is a community consensus.

Conclusions

• MINOS is taking data– Results at 4e20, m2

– Expected ~ 10e20, 13

• NOA is coming• LB-DUSEL may be next• With regard to planning, (in my humble opinion) we

are overdue for an effective international context• Neutrino fans are in for exciting times• Chicago Cubs fans are looking forward to the 2008

baseball World Series
