III NuMI Off-Axis Experiment
Detector Workshop
July 10-12, 2003
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
NuMI neutrino beam, currently under construction, offers an unique
opportunity for detailed studies of the neutrino oscillation. This
beam offers a particularly interesting opportunity for a very
sensitive search for numu to nue oscillations, which can provide a
variety of new physics insights in the neutrino sector, including the
pattern of neutrino mass hierarchy, measurement of the hereto poorly
constrained mixing angle theta13 and, perhaps, CP violation.
At this workshop we will review the progress made towards a formulation of
a proposal. In particular, we plan to focus our attention on:
- Expected beam intensity, possible upgrade plans, longer term plans for the
accelerator complex at Fermilab
- Physics potential of the Off-axis beams, comparison with other planned
or talked about experiments
- Trade-offs between detector parameters (geometry, granularity, transverse
segmentation) and the physics potential of the experiment
- Progress with detector R&D
- Organization of the Proposal
There will be no registration fee, but we very strongly encourage
the participants to register using the
online
registration tools.
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/.
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.
