First FLARE
Workshop

November 4-6, 2004
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Liquid Argon Imaging Detectors technology has been established as a mature and robust detection technique. It presents itself as a very attractive choice for neutrino experiments, where the low rates and relatively simple final states, excellent particle identification capabilities, very good spatial granularity and resolution enable a complete reconstruction of final states over a very wide range of neutrino energies.

Fermilab neutrino beams represent a major investment of High Energy Physics resources. This investment can be fully exploited by complementing these beams with modern powerful neutrino detectors.

This workshop will review the status of the detector technology and the progress made towards a formulation of proposals. In particular, we plan to focus our attention on:

bullet Physics potential of a 50 kton Liquid Argon detector as a NuMI Off-axis experiment, including its capabilities for supernova and proton decay detection
bullet Physics potential of a medium size Liquid Argon TPC in a near MINOS hall
bullet Physics potential of a Liquid Argon detector in a MiniBOONE beam
bullet Review of the status of the Liquid Argon Imaging technology (ICARUS)
bullet Technical aspects of very large detectors: tanks, purification systems, very large wire chambers

There will be no registration fee, but we very strongly encourage the participants to register using the online registration tools to facilitate the preparation of the workshop.

We encourage computer-based presentations at the workshop. However, a projector will be made available to those using viewgraphs. Following the workshop, the presented material will be available at the off-axis web pages, located at http://www-off-axis.fnal.gov/flare. We expect all presentations to be provided to us electronically (that is, we are not planning to provide scanning services).

Looking forward to seeing you at Fermilab.
