Physics with the Main Injector
نویسنده
چکیده
The Main Injector is a new rapid cycling accelerator at Fermilab which is a source of protons to be used in antiproton production to enhance the luminosity of the Tevatron Collider and to provide extracted beams for use in a range of xed target experiments. We discuss the current status of the accelerator and the physics which it enables. The physics ranges broadly over the standard model and beyond, from the search for neutrino mass to collider physics at the highest energy available today.

Main Injector Particle Production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab
The Main Injector Particle Production Experiment at Fermilab uses particle beams of charged pions, kaons, proton and anti-proton with beam momenta of 5 to 90 GeV/c and thin targets spanning the periodic table from (liquid) hydrogen to uranium to measure particle production cross sections in a full acceptance spectrometer with charged particle identification for particles from 0.1 to 120 GeV/c u...
متن کاملAn Expression of Interest to Detect and Measure the Direct CP Violating Decay K L → π 0 νν and Other Rare Decays at Fermilab Using the Main Injector September 22 , 1997 The KAMI Collaboration
We, the KAMI (Kaons At the Main Injector) collaboration, express our interest to continue the experimental program of rare kaon decay physics at Fermilab using the Main Injector. The 120 GeV Main Injector beam will provide neutral kaon beams which are two orders of magnitude more intense than those currently available at Fermilab. This dramatic increase in flux will allow us to study direct CP ...
متن کاملKaon Radiative Decay K± → μνγ at CKM at the Fermilab Main Injector
High statistics data for the K → μνγ decay can allow the precision determination of the kaon structure dependent form factors. This study is possible at the proposed FNAL CKM experiment. CKM (Charged Kaons at the Main injector) is a decay-in-flight spectrometer with two Ring Imaging detectors(RICH), and designed to run at the main injector with a high kaon flux. The radiative decay data might b...
متن کاملLong-Baseline Neutrino Physics in the U.S.
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics in the U.S. is centered at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), in particular at the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beamline commissioned in 2004-2005. Already, the MINOS experiment has published its first results confirming the disappearance of νμ’s across a 735 km baseline. The forthcoming NOνA experiment will search for the trans...
متن کاملThe Main Injector Particle Physics Experiment (mipp Fnal E-907) at Fermilab -status and Plans
We describe the status of the Main Injector particle production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab which has to date acquired 18 million events of particle interactions using (5 GeV/c-120 GeV/c) π, K and p beams on various targets. We describe plans to upgrade the data acquisition speed of MIPP to make it run 100 times faster which will enable us to obtain particle production data of unprecdented qu...
