“The Scientific Case for a Very Large Detector and aSuper Neutrino beam” Dr. Milind Diwan Brookhaven National Laboratory |
| With the discovery of neutrino oscillations, a new rich experimental area in particle physics has been opened for further investigation. I will review the current status of accelerator based neutrino experiments focusing on ideas for a new generation of long baseline oscillation experiments. The proposed experiments will rely on new powerful high-energy accelerators and very large detectors. The ultimate motivation is to explore the full range of neutrino mass and mixing parameters. A sufficiently ambitious program can hope to discover new physics including CP violation amongst neutrinos. I will discuss requirements for the beam, distance, and detectors, using the results from the recently completed joint FNAL/BNL study on the subject. |
