  1. Neutrino Pre-Town MeetingThis is a town meeting: make your voice heard!

  2. What we hope to do at the breakout sessions - The Agenda • Discover and hear about the various ideas for current and future research • Collect these ideas and try to uncover common themes • Begin discussions about the given section of a white paper All slides are open to modification and input: As the discussion proceeds, we’ll try to collect our comments here. Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  3. Neutrino Physics is: Nuclear Physics Particle Physics Astrophysics Cosmology And probably others as well. But it is the NP Long range plan we are trying to influence. Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  4. Key Goals Want to deliver an effective message to the Town Meeting in January • We need to: • Identify a coherent set of physics goals • Articulate why the research is nuclear physics and should be supported by NP • Indicate why the next 5 years are critical to this research • Identify critical needs Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  5. Neutrino Pre-Town MeetingThis is a town meeting: make your voice heard! Neutrino Mass, Charge Conjugation, Lepton Flavor Violation Working Group Conveners: Steve Elliott/Guido Drexlin

  6. Our working group includes, but is not necessarily limited to: How do we: • determine the masses of the neutrinos? • their charge-conjugation properties? • determine if Lepton number conservation is violated? Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  7. Beta Decay Why Nuclear Physics? • Nuclear decay process • Fundamental particle participating in nuclear transition • Traditional nuclear-physics experimental techniques Why now? • Some experiments are being built • Other experiments need R&D support Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  8. Beta Decay: representative list • Tritium - KATRIN, NEXTEX (Abstract) • 187Re - MARE • Theory: weak interaction descriptions, non-SM extensions Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  9. Double-Beta Decay Why Nuclear Physics? • Nuclear decay process • Fundamental particle participating in nuclear transition - the characteristics of that particle are critical to the nuclear process • Backgrounds result from nuclear processes, thus experimenters require NP understanding • Traditional nuclear-physics experimental techniques • Important nuclear theory component Why now? • Some experiments are being built • Other experiments need R&D support Critical needs • Underground laboratory Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  10. Double-Beta Decay: Representative list • 48Ca (CANDLES) • 76Ge (Gerda, Majorana) • 82Se (NEMO) • 100Mo (NEMO, MOON) • 116Cd (COBRA, …) • 130Te (CUORE, COBRA) • 136Xe (EXO) • 150Nd (SNO+) • Theory: nuclear matrix elements, RH currents,  phenomenology Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  11. Other neutrino mass techniques • IceCube (Abstract) Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  12. Related Technologies • Low background counting facility (Abstract) • Muon induced backgrounds (Abstract) Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  13. Dark Matter Why Nuclear Physics? • Traditional nuclear-physics experimental techniques • Backgrounds result from nuclear processes, thus experimenters require NP experience • Important nuclear theory component Why now? • Some experiments are being built • Other experiments need R&D support Critical Needs • Underground laboratory Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting

  14. Dark Matter: representative list • Ne (CLEAN/DEAP) (Abstract) • Si (CDMS) • Ge (CDMS) • Ar (CLEAN/DEAP, WARP) • Xe (XENON, Zeplin) • Theory: particle physics, cosmology Neutrino Pre-Town Meeting
