CAPP
physicists currently participate in Fermilab experiments
HyperCP and
MINOS, the Daya Bay and Double Chooz reactor-neutrino experiments,
the MuCool
project, and the MICE experiment. We are also spearheading a proposal for a new pbar experimental program at the Fermilab Antiproton Source. |
|
|
• Having
accumulated the world's largest sample of hyperon
decays, HyperCP
extends the study of CP violation using
a method that is both new and unique. |
|
•
MuCool
addresses technical issues related to the
development and construction of a neutrino factory or muon collider,
either of which could be sited at Fermilab.
|
|
•
The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment
is designed to measure the neutrino mixing angle θ13
using anti-neutrinos produced by the reactors of the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power plants.
|
|
|
|
•
MINOS is
a long-baseline neutrino experiment designed to detect neutrino
oscillations. It uses two detectors 400 miles apart: one at
Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, and the other at the Soudan
Underground Mine State Park in Soudan, Minnesota. |
|
•
MICE
is being carried out by an international collaboration as an experimental demonstration of muon-beam cooling.
This is a crucial test of technology that could be used to build a neutrino factory or muon collider.
|
|
•
The Double Chooz experiment goal is to
search for a non-vanishing value of the θ13 neutrino mixing angle starting in 2008.
This is the last step to accomplish in preparing for the coming
era of precision measurements in the lepton sector.
| |
|
|
•
pbar@Fermilab is
a new initiative, led by IIT, for low-energy experiments using the world's most intense
antiproton beam. Physics goals include
charm and hyperon rare decays and symmetry violation, QCD tests via precision charmonium studies,
and antihydrogen CPT and gravity tests.
