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.
