  1. RSVP Project Overview J. Sculli New York University

  2. RSVP Participants Sponsoring agency – National Science Foundation, Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, MREFC Program. Host Laboratory – Brookhaven National Laboratory, Operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the Department of Energy, Office of Science, Division of Nuclear Physics MECO and KOPIO Scientific Collaborations – Arizona State University Boston University Brookhaven National Laboratory University of California, Irvine University of Cincinnati University of Houston University of Massachusetts, Amherst Stony Brook University University of New Mexico New York University University of Pennsylvania Syracuse University Thomas Jefferson National Accel Facility University of Virginia Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University College of William and Mary Yale University International Collaborators – Canada Italy Japan Russia Switzerland J. Sculli

  3. - RSVP KOPIO- Measurement of KL0 Uniquely determines JCP, the fundamental parameter of SM CP-violation, with ~2% precision (JCP = 2 x area of all unitary triangles) Comparison with indirect measurement of JCP in the B-system offers a critical test of the SM and a vital prospect for Beyond-SM physics. Br(KL0)  (Vcb)42 KOPIO:  10% 40 events predicted by SM. 1 event sensitivity, BR = 10-12. Current upper limit ~ 6 x 10-7. Complete K-based Unitary Triangle L. Littenberg

  4. MECO-Lepton Flavor Violation • Muon to Electron Conversion (MECO) • Unobservable in the Standard Model, even in minimal extensions that include light massive neutrinos. • Distinctive signature, mono-energetic electron with energy • Current limit 6 x 10-13 • MECO goal: R < 2 x 10-17 Current limit 1.2 x10-11 (MEGA) Goal: 10-14 (MEG at PSI) J. Sculli

  5. Some RSVP History • Oct 1999 RSVP Proposal for MREFC submitted to NSF. • Nov 1999 NSF Panel review– scientific merit and technical feasibility. “Must do… They address the most fundamental questions in particle physics today….” • May 2000 NSF MREFC Panel Recommends placing RSVP in highest category for funding in FY 2002 MRE account. • July 2000 NSF Cost Review Panel. • Nov 2000 NSF Panel Review. Focus on management, oversight, MAP. • May 2001 BNL LOC Review. Technical Review. • June 2001 NSF RSVP Technical and Management Review. • Jan 2002“…RSVP is now the highest priority construction project from the Division of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.” Lett from Dir. to RSVP PI. • Mar 2002 NSF RSVP R&D Budget Review. • Jan 2003 NSF RSVP R&D Budget Review. • FY2004NSF Budget Request to Congress shows MREFC start in 2006. • FY2004Consolidated Appropriations Conference Report:“The conferees recommend $6,000,000 for continued advanced planning of the Rare Symmetry Violating Process project.” • FY2005NSF Budget Request to Congress shows MREFC start in 2005.

RSVP Advanced Planning Proposal KOPIO $3,848K MECO $4,907K University Grants: Arizona State University (KOPIO) $99K Boston University (MECO) $68K New York University (MECO) $300K Stony Brook University (KOPIO) $235K University of Houston (MECO) $150K Virginia Polytechnical U. (KOPIO) $140K Indirect Costs on Subawards $80K Educational Outreach Startup $25K Total Request $9,852K J. Sculli

  8. RSVP Advanced Planning ProposalKOPIO/MECO J. Sculli

  9. RSVP Advanced Planning ProposalBNL • BNL /KOPIO (explicit BNL budget in NSF proposal) Personnel (15.5 @ $118K/person) $1831K Equipment and Materials $297K Indirect Costs $851k Total $2979K • BNL/MECO (no explicit budget) $634K -- $957K J. Sculli

  10. Educational Outreach Startup The proposal requests funding to develop an RSVP Educational Outreach Program. • As many RSVP Institutions as choose to participate should be involved. • There should be an interim RSVP Director for Education to arrange joint MECO/KOPIO collaboration meetings for the purpose of developing a detailed proposal.
