Megaton Modular Multi-Purpose Neutrino Detector
This brief note outlines a detector for the Homestake Laboratory and the physics experiments that might be done with it. The note might go on record as a letter of intent to be converted to a formal proposal at a later time. A major challenge to be faced in the construction of a multipurpose underground laboratory lies in the design of the rooms required by the most massive detectors, their siz...
متن کاملA Unique Detector for Proton Decay and Neutrino Oscillations Study (lanndd) for a Usa Dusel
We discuss the major scientific issues of the search for proton decay to 10 years lifetime and search for CP violation with a VLBL superbeam ( 2000 km distance). The 100 kT LANNDD liquid Argon TPC is well matched to these goals. We describe the progress in the R&D program for the detector as well as the possible location in an underground laboratory in the USA called DUSEL.
متن کاملThe physics impact of proton track identification in future megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors
In this paper, we investigate the impact in future megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectors of identifying proton Cherenkov rings. We estimate the expected event rates for detected neutral current and charged current quasi-elastic neutrino interactions from atmospheric neutrinos in a megaton-scale Super-Kamiokande-like detector with both 40% and 20% photo-cathode coverage. With this sample we ex...
متن کاملMuon Accelerators for the next Generation of High
Muon accelerator technology offers a unique and very promising avenue to a facility capable of producing high intensity muon beams for neutrino factory and multi-TeV lepton collider applications. The goal of the US Muon Accelerator Program is to provide an assessment, within the next ~6 years, of the physics potential and technical feasibility of such a facility. This paper will describe the ph...
متن کاملElectromagnetic reaction cross sections in relativistic heavy ion collisions
The goal of this project was to produce a computer program to predict the cross section of relativistic heavy ion collisions between given projectile and target nuclei . An explanation of the usefulness ofrelativistic heavy ion collision analysis is presented. The use of the WeiszackerWilliams method of virtual quanta for enhancing reaction cross sections of this type is discussed. Quantum-mech...
