2 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 2 The NO A Experiment (NuMI Off-Axis e Appearance Experiment) NO A is an approved Fermilab experiment optimized for measuring e appearance with the goal of improving the sensitivity to  13 from the current CHOOZ limit by more than a factor of 20. The NO A far detector will be l a 30 kT “totally active” liquid scintillator detector l located 15 mrad (12 km) off the NuMI beamline axis near Ash River, NM, 810 km from Fermilab The uniqueness of NO A is the long baseline, which is necessary for determining the mass ordering of the neutrino states.

3 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 3 2004 APS  study  One of (two) high priority recommendations is for a concerted program to measure  13 including:  A reactor experiment  An accelerator experiment (with NO A in mind).

6 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 6 P(   e ) (in Vacuum) P(   e ) = P 1 + P 2 + P 3 + P 4 P 1 = sin 2 (  23 ) sin 2 (2  13 ) sin 2 (1.27  m 13 2 L/E) “Atmospheric” P 2 = cos 2 (  23 ) sin 2 (2  12 ) sin 2 (1.27  m 12 2 L/E) “Solar” P 3 = J sin(  ) sin(1.27  m 13 2 L/E) P 4 = J cos(  ) cos(1.27  m 13 2 L/E) where J = cos(  13 ) sin (2  12 ) sin (2  13 ) sin (2  23 ) x sin (1.27  m 13 2 L/E) sin (1.27  m 12 2 L/E) Atmospheric- solar interference

7 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 7 P(ν μ → ν e ) (in Matter) l In matter at oscillation maximum, P 1 will be approximately multiplied by (1 ± 2E/E R ) and P 3 and P 4 will be approximately multiplied by (1 ± E/E R ), where the top sign is for neutrinos with normal mass hierarchy and antineutrinos with inverted mass hierarchy l About ±30% effect for NuMI l About ±11% effect for T2K l The effect is reduced for energies above the oscillation maximum & increased for energies below

8 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 8 Off-Axis Rationale Both Phase 2 experiments, NO A and T2K are sited off the neutrino beam axis. This yields a narrow band beam: More flux and less background ( e ’s from K decay and higher- energy NC events)

27 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 27 Importance of the Mass Ordering l Window on very high energy scales: grand unified theories favor the normal mass ordering, but other approaches favor the inverted ordering. l If we establish the inverted ordering, then the next generation of neutrinoless double beta decay experiment can decide whether the neutrino is its own antiparticle. However, if the normal ordering is established, a negative result from these experiments will be inconclusive. l To measure CP violation, we need to resolve the mass ordering, since it contributes an apparent CP violation that we must correct for.

28 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 28 Role of NO A in Resolving the Mass Ordering l The mass ordering can be resolved only by matter effects in the earth over long baselines. NO A is the only proposed experiment with a sufficiently long baseline to resolve the mass ordering. The siting of NO A is optimized for this measurement. NO A is the first step in a step-by-step program that can resolve the mass ordering in the region accessible to conventional neutrino beams.

29 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 29 95% CL Resolution of the Mass Ordering

30 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 30 95% CL Resolution of the Mass Ordering

31 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 31 95% CL Resolution of the Mass Ordering Scenario: 2 years into the PD run, realize the need for the 2nd off-axis detector. Build in 4 years, run for 6 years. Thus, 12 years running of NO A with PD and 6 years of running the second detector. Several technologies possible for the 2nd detector. Use SK as a model for the calculation.

35 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 35 NO A Status l Approved by Fermilab April 2005: Letter from Mike Witherell l “The Committee found that NO A …is the best approach to address the compelling neutrino physics questions ahead of us. They judged NO A to be well designed, fully competitive, and complementary to other efforts. They also consider it to be the right platform for further steps in the evolving neutrino program worldwide. The Committee recommended Stage I approval.” l “Organizing the best program of neutrino research with Fermilab’s accelerators is critical to the strength of the particle physics program in the US and worldwide. I agree with the Committee’s judgment that NO A is the right experiment to anchor this program, and I agree that now is the time to act. I therefore grant Stage I approval to the NO A experiment.”

36 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 36 NO A Status l Approved by Fermilab April 2005 (see letter) l Ed Temple has set out a schedule of critical decisions and reviews that will allow a Oct 2006 construction start (see timeline)

37 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 37 Sensitivity vs. Time

38 Maury Goodman IIT Mumbai 1-2 August 2005 38 Conclusion NO A provides a flexible approach to studying all of the parameters of neutrino oscillations l A long baseline approach is crucial in the context of the world program. NO A is the first stage of a flexible program where each stage can be planned according to what has been learned in previous stages. The NO A physics reach is greater than other experiments being contemplated for the next few years.
