1. Future FNAL Fixed Target Physics Currently: Booster(8GeV), Main Injector(30-120GeV), Tevatron(800+GeV) & 2TeV p p Collider +Accumulator, Debuncher, Recycler … SNuMi: MI (0.4MW at 50GeV, 1.2MW at 120GeV) Project X: 8GeV Linac (1% of ILC) R&D Project? MI (2MW 50-120GeV)! Better Proton Economics

Broad Fixed Target Program: p, charm, hyperons, kaons, neutrinos, muons… LOIs submitted, Proposals being prepared Standard Model & Beyond Is the program big (exciting) enough for FNAL?, USA? What Cost? Interest? Competition? I will consider a few examples: (K, , & DUSEL-FNAL (shotgun) Marriage)

Slepton mixing Lepton Flavor Violation! Suppression due to near degeneracies in loops Nevertheless, we should expect: edms, e , + e + e - e +, N eN, , , … g -2 deviation strengthens case for searches! MEG at PSI will do: BR( e )≤1.2x10 -11 2x10 -13 SES (Factor ~ 25 improvement)

It can take every muon we can provide! MECO at BNL would have stopped 10 11 /sec! wait ~0.6x10 -6 sec (reject prompt background) Requires ~300keV resolution & Clean beam between pulses ii) 2e at Fermilab(LOI): R( Al eAl) 2x10 -17 !

Reaction Bound In Progress Proposed Possible BR( e ) 1.2x10 -11 2x10 -13 SES 2x10 -14 SES ? BR( eee) 1x10 -12 - 10 -14 R( Ti eTi) 4x10 -12 - 2x10 -17 SES 10 -19 (7x10 -13 ) R( Ti eTi) at 7x10 -13 ~R( Al eAl) at 4x10 -13 BR( e ) 7.2x10 -11 - BR(K L e) 4.7x10 -12 10 -13 BR( ) 6.8x10 -8 10 -9 BR(Z e) <1.7x10 -6 (10 -13 from Ti eTi!) Charged Lepton Number Violating Processes
25
The key to reaching 2x10 -17 SES in 2e is to copiously produce and stop 10 11 /s using an intense 8GeV proton beam on target in a trapping solenoid. The proton beam must be clean to 1 part in 10 9 -10 10 between pulses. Possible at Fermilab using 8GeV Infrastructure! (Must Do Experiment!)

27
Some Theory Considerations: If transition dipole operator (chiral changing) dominates BR( e )=389R( Al eAl)=238R( Ti eTi) But conversion exp. can be more sensitive by 10 3 -10 4 ! Eg. Popular SUSY Models (may be related to a ) Neutrino Mass & Mixing Effects Lepton Flavor Violation BR( e )~3 /32 [m 3 2 -m 2 2 ] 2 /m W 4 (s 13 c 13 s 23 ) 2 10 -54 R( N eN)~100BR( e )~10 -52 still tiny, but enhanced by Chiral conserving amplitudes. (Lesson) Conversion better for Heavy Neutrino Mixing In General: 1/200 BR( e )/R( N eN) 200 Conversion More Robust! Better Discovery Potential If MEG ( e ) at PSI sees ~5 events, 2e should see 100-20,000 events!

5. Neutrino Oscillations (FNAL-DUSEL 1300km) What (and where) is DUSEL? Homestake Gold Mine in South Dakota Chosen As Site For NSF Deep Underground Science And Engineering Lab (DUSEL). Expects $400-500M Funding. $200M for Lab and $200M for (first round) experiments. Currently $5M/yr for 3 yr to develop proposal. Thanks to a generous benefactor Mr. Sanford ($70M) DUSEL SUSEL Already has one Nobel Prize: Ray Davis Solar Neutrinos Expects to have neutrino oscillation program!

Heavy Majorana Neutrinos Created and Decay N H - e +, H 0 (L & CP VIOLATION) Leads to antilepton (excess)-lepton Asymmetry 2. Electroweak Phase Transition (250GeV) (Baryogenesis) ‘t Hooft Mechanism B-L Conserved (B&L Violated) antilepton excess baryon (quark) excess by 1 in 10 9 Is L Violated in Nature?
