  9. LBNE • Broad physics program • Oscillations • Astrophysics • Proton decay • Scope of each will depend on detector choice B. Casey, FPCP 2011 • Longer baseline • 8101300km • Larger detector • 2 x 100 kt Water • 2 x 17 kt Liquid Ar • Next generation q13, CPV experiments

  10. n-factory n factory Ultimate and perhaps necessary reach comes from muon storage ring Variations on LBNE 4 MW p, 5 GeV m MuCool test area at Fermilab. First beam delivered Feb 2011 Project X Muonacceleration program (MAP) formed to unify US funded R&D and prove feasibility of muon collider in the next few years B. Casey, FPCP 2011

  12. Antiprotons World’s greatest antimatter factory Charm, hyperon, exotics 2.6 nanograms last year Anti Hydrogen Anti Gravity Will be repurposed for muon production but there is still interesting physics that may be unique to this facility B. Casey, FPCP 2011

  13. Kaons Same motivation for FCNC B and K programs d s s b Difference is the size of the SM ‘background’ B mesons: Vts l2 orVtd l3 or Vub l3 Kaons: Vts*Vtd  l5 Generic couplings: Kaons win, flavor specific: need both B. Casey, FPCP 2011

  17. Charged lepton flavor program An observation of charged lepton flavor violation expected in the next decade implies existence of a new mixing matrix. Expect same as quarks, neutrinos: multi-decade program to determine 4 parameters of the matrix Cold traps, intense muon sources, super B factories, t/charm factories, lepton colliders, Hadron colliders… m→eg, mN→eN t→eg, eee t→mg, mmm (g-2)e, (g-2)m, (g-2)t CP violation: lepton EDM measurements B.

  24. Conclusions p K+ p m KL nm nm ,ne B. Casey, FPCP 2011 • Fermilab is planning a diverse neutrino and targeted rare process program that covers many of the most important low energy observables • In several cases, Fermilab is the best place to perform these experiments • Beam power + duty factor • In many, it is the only place to perform these measurements to high precision due to unique features of Project X • The program will play an integral role in interpreting LHC results, will push the envelope in precision detector technology, and will provide unique opportunities to grad students and post docs.
