  1. Rare Processes @ PX R.Tschirhart - Fermilab July 30th, 2013 CSS-Minneapolis

  2. Project X: Physics Opportunities (http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.5009) Particle Physics with Project X Neutrino Experiments with Project X Kaon Physics with Project X Muon Experiments with Project X Measurements of EDMs with Project X Neutron-Antineutron Oscillations with Project X New, Light, Weakly-coupled Particles with Project X Hadronic Structure with Project X Hadronic Spectroscopy with Project X Lattice-QCD Calculations for Project X R. Tschirhart, CSS2013-Snowmass July 2013

  3. The Project-X Research Program Detailed discussion in “The Book” on the Project X website Neutrino experiments A high-power proton source with proton energies between 1 and 120 GeV would produce intense neutrino sources and beams illuminating near detectors on the Fermilab site and massive detectors at distant underground laboratories. Kaon, muon, nuclei & nucleon precision experiments These could include world leading experiments searching for lepton flavor violation in muons, atomic, muon, nuclear and nucleon electron dipole moments (edms), precision measurement of neutron properties (e.g. n,nbar oscillations) and world-leading precision measurements of ultra-rare kaon decays. Platform for evolution to a Neutrino Factory, Muon Collider, ILC. Neutrino Factory and Muon-Collider concepts depend critically on developing high intensity proton source technologies. Project X accelerator elements have much in common with ILC accelerator systems. Material Science and Nuclear Energy Applications Accelerator, spallation, target and transmutation technology demonstrations which could investigate and develop accelerator technologies important to the design of future nuclear waste transmutation systems and future thorium fuel-cycle power systems. Possible applications of muon Spin Resonance techniques (muSR). as a sensitive probes of the magnetic structure of materials . R. Tschirhart, CSS2013-Snowmass July 2013

  4. The Project-X Research Program…Redux New Forces Lepton Flavor Violation (e.g. mge) Baryon Number Violation (ngn oscillations) Non-standard flavor changing neutral currents New properties of matter CP violation in neutrinos, charged leptons, quarks  New dimensions e.g. super-symmetric amplitudes via EDMs Warped dimensions via kaon decays R.

  32. Opportunities… Much of the Project X Day-1 research program is under construction and development now: (g-2), LBNE, MicroBooNE, Minerva, MINOS, Mu2e, NOvA, ORKA, EDM research, etc. There are leadership opportunities in these relatively small experiments in detector design, construction, operations and analysis. Many of the later-day Project X experiments require detector systems that do not exist today: Ultra-low mass trackers, “Perfect” photon measurements beyond calorimetry, etc which have good synergy with future collider challenges. Intensity frontier phenomenology: There is a great need in the US, and this is beginning to be seen by the agencies. R. Tschirhart, CSS2013-Snowmass July 2013

  33. Project X and You… Opportunities to evolve the Day-1 experiments: LBNE, Mu2e, ORKA, etc. Get involved in the well reviewed EOI’s: proton-EDM, n-nbar…. Propose others, more welcome! Opportunities to lead on revolutionary detector R&D: ‘The Perfect Calorimeter’, Per-mil space-point tracking, Breakthrough Time of Flight… Get and read The Book: Understand the theory and advance future opportunities The agencies are looking to you for leadership here. R. Tschirhart, CSS2013-Snowmass July 2013

  34. Summary Project-X is a staged evolution of the best assets of the Fermilab accelerator complex with the revolution in super-conducting RF technology. Each Stage of Project-X will raise many boats of the Intensity Frontier in particle physics, with a program scope of more than 20 world-leading particle physics experiments and an associated robust user community. Stage-1 of Project X can host a program of world class experiments, with “Day-1” experiments inherited from the investments being made now in advance of Project-X operations which could commence at the close of this decade.
