The deepest probe of Lepton Flavor Physics: Ultra-rare m-Decays: First Order FCNC: Higher order dipole “penguin”: Virtual n mixing The MEG(PSI) experiment has probed to 10-11 level. Forbidden in Standard Model Observation of neutrino mixing shows this can occur at a very small rate Photon can be real (m->eg) or virtual (mN->eN) Rajendran Raja Project-X 3

Cost and Schedule • This is a technically limited schedule • Critical Path is Superconducting Solenoids • $200M “fully-loaded” Total Cost data-taking 1st quarter Calendar 2016 Rajendran Raja Project-X
Muon g-2 @ FNAL • Based on results of the August 2010 Intensity Frontier review, DOE has decided to go ahead with the next generation muon g-2 experiment by moving the storage ring from Brookhaven to Fermilab. • Fermilab can deliver 21x the total Brookhaven statistics in less than 2 years. • Modest modifications of existing beamlines and detectors allow us to drastically reduce the dominant systematic errors in the precession frequency measurement. • This is matched with a world wide program to validate the SM calculation of g-2 (Novosibirsk, KLOE, B-factories, BES. Lattice…) • Currently reevaluating the schedule given budget constraints but expect to start taking data in the middle of this decade. Rajendran Raja Project-X
Project-X talk proper • Kaons as part of Project-X are a direct result of the CW option ( as are the nuclear physics options). Much higher intensities result from the CW option. • CW option is a result of the push to do ADS using project-X. 2007 Accel Division Seminar I gave on ADS mentioned CW. It was picked up by several attendees and Option 2 was born. • AHIPA09 workshop further cemented the broad base of physics possible using a CW Project • ADS as part of Project-X was further strengthened at the Accelerators for America’s future Workshop held by the DoE. Rajendran Raja Project-X
The Project-X Research Program • Long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: Driven by a high-power proton source with proton energies between 50 and 120 GeV that would produce intense neutrino beams directed toward massive detectors at a distant deep underground laboratory. • Kaon, muon, nuclei & neutron precision experiments driven by high intensity proton beams running simultaneously with the neutrino program: These could include world leading experiments searching for muon-to-electron conversion, nuclear and neutron electron dipole moments (edms), and world-leading precision measurements of ultra-rare kaon decays. • Platform for evolution to a Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Detailed Discussion:Project X website Rajendran Raja Project-X

This Science has attracted Competition:The Proton Source Landscape This Decade... Project-X • Pulsed machines driving neutrino horns: SPS (0.5 MW), Main Injector ( 0.3 MW now, 0.7 MW for Nova), JPARC (plan for 1.7 MW) • Cyclotrons and synchrotrons driving muon programs PSI (1.3 MW, 600 MeV), JPARC RCS (0.1-0.3 MW) • Synchrotrons driving kaon physics programs. SPS (0.015 MW), JPARC (goal of >0.1 MW), Tevatron (0.1 MW) • Linear machines driving nuclear and neutron programs: SNS, LANL, FRIB….not providing CW light-nuclei beams.

The High Duty Factor Proton Source Landscape This Decade... * x Duty Factor Project-X CW-Linac PSI * TRIUMF power * Stopped/Slow kaon yield/Watt * Beam power x Duty Factor Rajendran Raja Project-X
“Continuous Wave” (CW) Linac for Rare Processes… • Beam extraction challenge is finessed. • Duty factor is very high. • The high frequency bandwidth intrinsic to a Linac can be exploited to generate excellent time resolution (dt~20psec), a very powerful tool to face a high intensity environment. • JLAB has demonstrated that beam can be cleanly multiplexed between many targets with minimal losses. These “touchless” RF beam multiplexers are enabled by the high linac bandwidth. • Excellent beam power scaling. Rajendran Raja Project-X

Road to Future Progress: Neutrino Research Program • Strong international community. US community is healthy and growing. • Explicitly engage the Neutrino Factory community to explore and develop a design driven by Project-X—Leads to muon collider • Good opportunities for collaboration and leadership. Rajendran Raja Project-X
Road to Future Progress: Muon Research Program • International community active, current Fermilab community is small, but growing with Mu2e and the possibility of (g-2)m. • No conceptual accelerator & beam design yet for driving next-generation mge conversion experiment beyond Mu2e and COMET at JPARC. A PRISM (FFAG) based solution needs further accelerator design work. Interesting synergies with Muon Collider cooling concepts are being explored that would clearly exploit Project-X. • Great opportunities for collaboration and leadership. Rajendran Raja Project-X
Road to Future Progress: Kaon Research Program • International community active, Fermilab community is dormant now. Buoyed to some extent now by the US quark flavor physics community—but this community is currently under stress regarding futures. • Excellent basis for 1000-event K+ gp+nnexperiment based on extrapolating techniques developed and demonstrated by BNL E787/E949 experiments. • Good basis for 1000-event KLgp0nnexperiment based on the KOPIO conceptual design developed for the BNL AGS. • Great opportunities for collaboration and leadership.

Summary Project-X is a next generation high intensity proton source that will deeply reach for physics beyond the Standard Model and incisively probe of the origins of matter: Neutrinos: An after-burner for LBNE that reduces the tyranny of (Detector-Mass xRunning-time) by x3, and a foundation for a Neutrino Factory. Rare Processes: Game-changing beam power and timing flexibility that can support a broad range of particle physics experiments. Prospects: International collaboration formed, ongoing substantial US (DOE) investments in R&D (Project-X + SRF + ILC) on Super Conducting RF accelerator technology supporting Project-X. Earliest construction start of 2015, operations in 2020. Rajendran Raja Project-X
