4 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL4 What next? A Groucho Marx Question *, “Two of the three mixing angles have been measured. What should we do next?” * At the end of the show, Losing contestants would get questions with obvious answers, so that everyone won some money.

5 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL5 Why are there many numbers quoted as the “Chooz Limit” for θ 13 ?  Sin 2 2θ 13 < 0.19 (at 2.0 10 -3 eV 2 ) in PDG You also see 0.10, 0.11, 0.14, 0.15, 0.20, …  Limit has to be quoted at a  m 2 32 which can change  Should quote at low  m 2 32 & not “best fit”  Global fits include solar  Will change due to MINOS Palo Verde Chooz SK allowed sin 2 2 θ 13 (90% CL) sin 2 2 θ 13 ∆m 2

6 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL6 (small!) Hint of non-zero θ 13 from global fits? ArXiv 0806.2649 1.Small e excess in atmospheric neutrinos 2.Imperfect agreement between KamLAND and Solar fits  sin 2 2  13 = 0.016  0.010

7 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL7 At an accelerator 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 31 2 L/E) –P 2 = cos 2 (  23 ) sin 2 (2  12 ) sin 2 (1.27  m 21 2 L/E) –P 3 = J sin(  ) sin(1.27  m 31 2 L/E) –P 4 = J cos(  ) cos(1.27  m 31 2 L/E) where J = cos(  13 ) sin (2  12 ) sin (2  13 ) sin (2  23 ) x sin (1.27  m 31 2 L/E) sin (1.27  m 21 2 L/E)

10 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL10 Reactor vs. Accelerator Reactor Features  Best current limit  Needs careful control of systematics  Subtract two numbers  Not sensitive to CP, matter  Required detector sizes > 10 tons Accelerator Features  Some long-baseline beams already (almost) exist  Signal/Background improves off-axis  Sensitive to CP, matter →ambiguities/degenera cies  Required detector sizes > 10 kilotons

19 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL19 I. Get to the Transition Strategy #1 (Double Chooz, RENO) There is considerable parameter space available to quickly improve the current limit.

20 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL20 II. Beat Down the Transition Strategy #2 (Daya Bay) Work hard on reducing systematic errors, such as with movable detectors.

21 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL21 III. Pass the Transition Strategy #3 (later?) With larger detectors, make yourself less sensitive to systematic errors.

22 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL22 NO A

23 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL23 NO A-Where? The Ash River site is the furthest available site from Fermilab along the NuMI beamline. This maximizes NO A’s sensitivity to the mass ordering. Off-axis

24 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL24 NO A design plastic filled with scintillator An admirer 32-cell extrusions. The planes alternate horizontal and vertical.

26 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL26 NO A oscillations  NO A was approved at Fermilab and construction funds were included in the DOE 07-08 proposed budget ($12M first year of $260M)  Funds also in Congressional budgets, but retroactively zero’d in a December 07 compromise  P5 report recommended NO A, but not in all funding scenarios.  A supplemental funding bill in July 08 included $9.2 M for NO A, but there’s no 09 budget yet.  It recently passed its (second) CD2 review; signed!  Hardware & Civil projects that had been delayed are gearing back up.

37 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL37 Some opinions about all of this

38 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL38 Things to watch for Reactor  Scintillator stability - large amounts of liquid  Civil Construction Schedules  Calculations & Measurements of 9 Li  Gw ton years  I think there is a reasonable chance of an answer soon (i.e. signal, marginal signal, limit)

39 November 2008 Maury Goodman ANL39 Things to watch for Accelerator  Existence (or not) of large underground facilities  Improvements in Detector technologies – such as phototubes  Full costs of new beam, lab, accelerator, detector  Escalating costs vis-à-vis the rest of the field  Claims “we need new experiments whatever the reactor experiments see for  13 ” if limits
