چکیده

This document is the second in a series of reports on the exciting physics that would be accessible at Fermilab in the event of an upgraded proton source. Where the first report covered a broad range of topics, this report focuses specifically on three areas of study: there are brief discussions on the new measurements one could make in both the neutron and anti-proton sectors, and then a detailed discussion of what could be achieved in the neutrino oscillation sector using an upgraded proton source to supply the NuMI beamline with more protons. If one places a new detector optimized for νe appearance at a new location slightly off the axis defined by the MINOS experiment, that new experiment would be ideal for making the next important steps in lepton flavor studies, namely, the search for νμ → νe at the atmospheric mass splitting, and CP violations. The report concludes with a summary of proton economics and demands for increased proton intensity for the Booster and Main Injector: what the proton source at Fermilab can currently supply, and what adiabatic changes could be implemented to boost the proton supply on the way from here to a proton driver upgrade.

Neutrino oscillation physics with a FNAL proton driver

The Fermilab proton driver (FPD) is proposed to consist of a linear accelerator and several main injector modifications. Its purpose is to provide higher fluxes to potential experiments, such as neutrino oscillation experiments [1,2], or muon, kaon, pion, neutron, or antiproton experiments [1]. It is aiming for 8GeV and (up to) 120GeV protons at about 2MW, which is a factor of five to ten past ...

Future Kaon Programs at BNL , FNAL 1

Future kaon decay programs at BNL and FNAL are discussed. The primary focus of these programs is the measurement of the golden modes, K • L → π • νν and K + → π + νν. The observation of K + → π + νν by E787 at BNL is the first step in a series of measurements which will completely determine the unitarity triangle within the kaon system. The next step after E787 in the measurement of B(K + → π +...

Future kaon decay programs at BNL and FNAL are discussed. The primary focus of these programs is the measurement of the golden modes, K: -+ n“v~ and K+ -+ m+VD . The observation of K+ -+ T+VD by E787 at BNL is the first step in a series of measurements which will completely determine the unitarity triangle within the kaon system. The next step after E787 in the measurement of B(K+ + n+vfi ) wil...

Parton distributions of the proton.

To obtain improved parton densities of the proton, we present a new global analysis of deep inelastic and related data including, in particular, the recent measurements of F2 at HERA, of the asymmetry of the rapidity distributions of W production at the FNAL pp̄ collider and of the asymmetry in Drell-Yan production in pp and pn collisions. We also incorporate data to determine the flavour depend...

Does the Cronin Peak Disappear at Lhc Energies?

In this work we compare the nuclear modification factors in proton (deuteron) – nucleus collisions at CERN SPS, FNAL and RHIC energies in a wide pT range. In these experiments the nuclear modification factor has shown an enhancement at pT ≈ 4 GeV/c. The height of this “Cronin peak” depends on the c.m. energy of the collision, as it is subject to stronger shadowing at higher energies. One of the...
