  3. Mission Need • The LBNE Project is being planned in response to the Mission Need put forward by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics. • CD-0 was approved by the DOE Deputy Secretary on January 8, 2010. SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  4. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment The LBNE Science Collaboration plans a comprehensive experiment to fully characterize neutrino oscillation phenomenology using • A high-intensity, broad-band neutrino beam • A sophisticated near detector • A 1300 km baseline • An advanced liquid argon time projection chamber far detector The goals of this program are: • Determining leptonic CP violation and neutrino mass ordering The recent discoveries confirm that this a scientifically well motivated, comprehensive, and stunningly beautiful program. • Underground physics, including the exploration of proton decay and supernova neutrinos. SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  21. Procurement Strategies – Far Detector Major FD engineering/fabrication/construction is planned: • Far Detector cryostat: contract with a construction management company under a design-build contract, who will subcontract with one of the two cryostat vendors and coordinate the construction. Expect to award design contract in late FY13, full design-build contract in FY16. • Far Detector cryogenic systems: traditional design-build contracts with several sub-components >FY16 • Refrigeration plant/LN2 re-liquefier • Liquid argon storage and liquid nitrogen storage vessels and receiving area • Re-condensers for the cryostats • Purification system vessels and components • LBNE has the responsibility for the interconnections and the integration coordination. • Time Projection Chamber (TPC): >FY16 • Major components such as stainless steel frames will be commercially produced in fabrication shops. • Components such as wire and FR4 components are commercially available. • Assembly and testing will be done by labs & universities. SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  22. Procurement Strategies – Conventional Facilities • CF Near Site (Fermilab) • Existing large A/E master contracts are already in place at Fermilab - Burns & McDonnell, HDR, AECOM - selection of one of these A/E’s for design is underway • Similarly with pre-construction CMs: Jacobs, Parsons, PMA/Patrick • FY13: Geotechnical site investigation & test embankment • FY14-16: CF NS design • FY15: Award construction contract for embankment • CF Far Site (SURF) • All design and construction work will be executed through contracts with SURF • SURF will do best value selection for Excavation, Infrastructure, and pre-construction CM consultants in FY13. • FY13: Geotechnical site investigation • FY14-15: Design for CF FS SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  23. Conclusions • The LBNE Project will enable a world-leading program that will address profound questions about nature. • It will deliver • An intense neutrino beam • A near site detector system to characterize the n beam • A 10 kton LAr TPC detector 1300 km from the n source • The Project anticipates CD-1 approval in 2012. • Cryo engineering and CF A/E contracts for design will be initiated with CD-1 approval. • Major construction and fabrication will begin in 2017. SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  24. SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  25. 1300 km is an Optimal Baseline SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  26. Time Projection Chamber (TPC) Operation x • MIP dE/dx = 2.2 MeV/cm •  ~ 1fC/mm @ 500 V/cm • ~1 MeV/wire 114 kV TPC design is modulal. 2.28m  1.4ms SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  27. LAr TPC Capabilities Simulated neutrino events: • CC nminteraction with a stopped μ followed by a decay Michel electron • CCQE neinteraction with a single electron and a proton • NC interaction which produced a p0that then decayed into two g’s with separate conversion vertices nm ne nx SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  28. Alternatives AnalysisFirst Pass: Full LBNE LBNE has explored a wide range of “big picture” alternatives, including: • The experimental baseline • The location of the proton source: FNAL vs. BNL • Neutrino beamline configuration: deep or shallow;Main Injector extraction points MI-10 vs. MI-60 • The far detector location: Homestake vs. alternates • The far detector technical configuration: Liquid Argon vs. Water Cherenkov; detector depth • Near Detector technology: scintillator tracker, straw-tube tracker, LAr TPC; with or without magnetic field => 1000 km < L < 1500 km => 4850 feet SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

  29. Alternatives AnalysisSecond Pass: Phase 1 of LBNE Program The 1st pass yielded the configuration of the “full” LBNE, whose cost could not be accommodated by the DOE in a single project=> Reopen the alternatives analysis Process led by Fermilab-Directorate-Appointed Steering Committee: www.fnal.gov/directorate/lbne_reconfiguration/ Alternatives considered: • Lower cost alternatives that could achieve some of the scientific goals, with a shorter baseline using the existing NuMI beam. • Phased program that could achieve all the scientific goals in phases over time, with possible first phase options including: • Large detector underground at SURF, beam to be built later • Beam and near detector, far detector to be built later • Beam and small far detector on the surface at SURF, near detector and full-size underground far detector to be built later • Beam and small far detector on the surface at SURF, near detector and full-size underground far detector to be built later This is the LBNE Project SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012
