  9. FAR SITES Without calling specifically for candidate far detector sites we received two contributions of far sites that would welcome a neutrino factory beam 1. Pihäsalmi Finland (Juha Peltoniemi) 2. INO Indian Neutrino Observatory (PUSHEP at Tamilnadu) Naba Mondal we also know of Canary Islands This is a subject that will need to be pursued

  10. Highlights 1. WATER CHERENKOV -- First cost estimate of Frejus Megaton detector -- T2KK idea 2. MAGNETIZED IRON CALORIMETER -- realistic design and cost estimate -- revision of golden analysis ==> much better efficiency at low Energy 3. LARGE MAGNETIC VOLUME -- a new concept -- MECC detector could demonstrably do platimum channel 4. Liquid Argon -- impressive R&D efforts (long drift, long wires) 5. systematic related discussions -- matter effect for NUFACT -- nuclear effects for Low Energy beam 6. Began first simulations of NuFACT near detectors

  11. review of far detector options -- Water Cherenkov -- Liquid argon (non magnetic) -- magnetized iron calorimeter -- ECC -- large magnetic volumes -- for TASD -- for ECC -- for liquid argon -- detector technology

  12. Water Cerenkov -- can be made in very large volumes (already SK =50kton) -- very well known technology -- other applications: proton decay, low energy natural neutrinos, atmospheric, solar and SN neutrinos, Gadzook, etc… -- cannot be magnetized easily-- pattern recognition limited to 1 ring events (--> sub GeV neutrinos) -- baseline detector for sub-GeV neutrinos. -- three projects around the world: HK, UNO, MEMPHYS -- community organized and coordinated in its own

(like UNO) BASELINE estimated excavation cost≈ 80 M€ X Nb of shafts this number should be >~ doubled for photo-detectors, electronics and other infrastructure (--> >~500 M€ for three shafts = 440 kton fiducial) -- >~G€ for a megaton --

  16. NB about 300 Oku-Yen should be included for the beam upgrade

  17. -- Liquid Argon TPC: This is the particle physics equivalent of superstrings: DOE (detector of everything) it can do everything, can it do anything BETTER? (than a dedicated standard technique) to be quantitatively demonstrated case by case. impressive progress from ICARUS T600 recent highlights -- effort at FERMILAB (FLARE) -- 2 efforts in EU ICARUS and GLACIER -- observation of operation in magnetic field -- programme on-going to demonstrate long drift, or long wires talks by Badertscher, Menary, Rubbia INFN ICARUS were contacted and added to mailing list with no further result.

  20. An ideal detector exploiting a Neutrino Factory should: NEUTRINO FACTORY DETECTORS Identify and measure the charge of the muon (“golden channel”) with high accuracy Identify and measure the charge of the electron with high accuracy (“Platinum channel”) Identify the  decays (“silver channel”) Measure the complete kinematics of an event in order to increase the signal/back ratio Migliozzi

  30. FIRST CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION THAT THE PLATINUM CHANNEL COULD BE USED!

  31. SYSTEMATICS - related topics

  32. A revealing comparison: A detailed comparison of the capability of observing CP violation was performed by P. Huber (+M. Mezzetto and AB) on the following grounds -- GLOBES was used. -- T2HK from LOI: 1000kt , 4MW beam power, 6 years anti-neutrinos, 2 years neutrinos. systematic errors on background and signal: 5%. -- The beta-beam 5.8 1018 He dk/year 2.2 1018 Ne dk/year (5 +5yrs) The Superbeamfrom 3.5 GeV SPL and 4 MW. Same 500kton detector Systematic errors on signal efficiency(or cross-sections) and bkgs are 2% or 5%. --NUFACT3.1 1020m+and3.1 1020m+per year for 10 years 100 kton iron-scintillator at 3000km and 30 kton at 7000km (e.g. INO). (old type!) The matter density errorsof the two baselines (uncorrelated): 2 to 5% The systematics are 0.1% on the signal and 20% on the background, uncorrelated. all correlations, ambiguities, etc… taken into account

  33. What do we learn? matter effect for NUFACT • Both (BB+SB+MD) and NUFACT outperform e.g. T2HK on most cases. • 2. combination of BB+SB is really powerful. • 3. for sin22q13 below 0.01 NUFACT as such outperforms anyone • 4. for large values of q13 systematic errors dominate. • Matter effects for NUFACT, cross-sections for low energy beams. • This is because we are at first maximum or above,  CP asymmetry is small!

  34. ISS-3 at RAL Warner Such a study, in collaboration with geophysicists will be needed for candidate LBL sites

  35. -- Near detectors and flux instrumentation -- flux and cross-section determinations -- other neutrino physics a completely new, yet essential aspect of superbeam, beta-beam and neutrino factory NO PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY UNTIL THE NEAR DETECTOR CONCEPTS HAVE BEEN LAYED DOWN! Soler, Sanchez tomorrow

  36. near detector constraints for CP violation ex. beta-beam or nufact: P(nenm) - P(nenm) sind sin (Dm212 L/4E) sin q12 sin q13 = ACP a sin2q13 + solar term… P(nenm) + P(nenm) • Near detector gives ne diff. cross-section*detection-eff *flux and ibid for bkg • BUT: need to know nm and nm diff. cross-section* detection-eff • with small (relative) systematic errors. • knowledge of cross-sections (relative to each-other) required • knowledge of flux! • interchange role of ne and nm for superbeam

  37. experimental signal= signal cross-section X efficiency of selection + Background this is not a totally trivial quantity as there is somethig particular in each of these cross-sections: for instance the effects of muon mass as well as nuclear effects are different for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos while e.g. pion threshold is different for muon and electron neutrinos need to know this: and of course the fluxes… but the product flux*ssig is measured in the near detector

  38. 3.5 GeV SPL g = 100 b-beam -- low proton energy: no Kaons  ne background is low --region below pion threshold (low bkg from pions) but: low event rate and uncertainties on cross-sections

  39. at 250 MeV (first maximum in Frejus expt) prediction varies from 0.88 to 0.94 according to nuclear model used. (= +- 0.03?) Hope to improve results with e.g. monochromatic k-capture beam

  40. FLUX in NUFACT will be known to 10-3 see NUFACT YELLOW REPORT this was studied including -- principle design of polarimeter, and absolute energy calibration -- principle design of angular divergence measurement -- radiative corrections to muon decay -- absolute x-section calibration using neutrino – electron interactions (event number etc… considered) this is true for

  41. Near detector and beam instrumentation at NUFACT BCT

  42. CONCLUSIONS -I The ISS detector task assembled in a new fashion a range of activities that are happening in the world. A number of new results were obtained and baseline detectors were defined. For low energy beams, the Water Cherenkov can be considered as baseline detector technology at least below pion threshold. An active international activity exists in this domain. 1Mton~(0.5-1) G€ For medium energy (1-2 GeV) there is comptetiton and it is not obvious which detector (WC, Larg or TASD) gives the best performance at a given cost.

  43. CONCLUSIONS II For the neutrino factory a 100 kton magnetized iron detector can be built at a cost of <~200 M$ for the golden channel. New analysis of low E muons should improve sensitivities. An non magnetic Emulsion Cloud Chamber (ECC) detector for tau detection can straightforwardly be added with a mass of >~5 kton There is interest/hope that low Z detectors can be embedded in a Large Magnetic Volume. At first sight difficulties and cost are very large. However this should be actively pursued. Electron sign determination up to 10 GeV has been demonstrated for MECC, and studies are ongoing for Liquid Argon and pure scintillator detector.

  44. CONCLUSIONS III Near detector, beam instrumentation and cross-section measurements are absolutely required. The precision measurements such as CP constitute a new game wih respect to the present generation. For the super-beam and beta beam the near detector and beam diagnostic systems need to be invented. There is a serious potential problem at low energy due to the interplay of muon mass effect and nuclear effects. A first evaluation was made at the occasion of the study. NUFACT flux and cross sections should be calibrated with a precision of 10-3. An important design and simulation effort is required for the near detector and diagnostic area. (shielding strategy is unknown at this point) Finally matter effects were discussed with the conclusion that a systematic error at 2% seems achievable with good collaboration with geologists.

  45. CONCLUSIONS IV The next generation of efforts should see a first go at the design effort and R&D towards the design of precision neutrino experiments There is a motivated core of people eager to do so and this activity should grow. THANKS!
