  15. Physics: Neutrinos The discovery of neutrino oscillations was the first experimentally observed phenomenon that departed from the very successful SM of particle physics. This discovery strongly suggests a connection between neutrino physics and physics on a very high mass scale and identifies a number of key questions requiring further investigation. Project X helps explore these key questions and in doing so, would open a path to new discovery in neutrino science. The neutrino physics sector is not nearly as well understood as are other sectors. Young-Kee Kim, PAC, June 24, 2011

  16. Built upon our current / near future strengths n SM: Reveal the pattern of neutrino masses and mixings • What is the value of q13? MINOS NOvA LBNE • Is q23 maximal? MINOS  NOvALBNE • How are the masses ordered? NOvA LBNE • Is CP violated? LBNE • What are the neutrino masses? No plans to address at FNAL • Are neutrinos their own anti-particles? No plans to address at FNAL Beyond n SM: Discover if the situation is more complex than 3 neutrinos with Standard Model interactions • Are the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies new physics? MiniBooNEMicroBooNE Short baseline experiments • Are neutrinos and anti-neutrinos oscillating differently in current experiments? MiniBooNE, MINOS  MINOS+, NOvALBNE Neutrino physics measurements that facilitate above • SciBooNE MINERvA, MINOS, NOvA LBNE, short baseline expts. Young-Kee Kim, PAC, June 24, 2011
