A Unique Detector for Proton Decay and Neutrino Oscillations Study (lanndd) for a Usa Dusel
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the major scientific issues of the search for proton decay to 10 years lifetime and search for CP violation with a VLBL superbeam ( 2000 km distance). The 100 kT LANNDD liquid Argon TPC is well matched to these goals. We describe the progress in the R&D program for the detector as well as the possible location in an underground laboratory in the USA called DUSEL.

LANNDD - A Massive Liquid Argon Detector for Proton Decay, Supernova and Solar Neutrino Studies and a Neutrino Factory Detector
We describe a possible Liquid Argon Neutrino and Nucleon Decay Detector (LANNDD) that consists of a 70 kT magnetized liquid Argon tracking detector. The detector is being designed for the Carlsbad Underground Laboratory. The major scientific goals are: 1) Search for μ + ν + → K p to 10 years lifetime 2) Detection of large numbers of solar neutrino events and supernova events 3) Study of atmosph...
متن کامل1 Multi - Megaton Water Cherenkov Detector for a Proton Decay
The discovery of the neutrino oscillations in 1998 revisited the interest of proton decay search [2]. The existence of the tiny neutrino mass indicates the existence of the large energy scale behind and suggests the connection between the small neutrino mass and proton decay. There are strong indications of the unification scale of O(10 16)GeV: the running coupling constants with super-symmetri...
متن کاملProton Stability in Grand Unified Theories, in Strings and in Branes
A broad overview of the current status of proton stability in unified models of particle interactions is given which includes non supersymmetric unification, SUSY and SUGRA unified models, unification based on extra dimensions, and string-M-theory models. The extra dimensional unification includes 5D and 6D and universal extra dimensional (UED) models, and models based on warped geometry. Proto...

For neutrino-beam production, 12-GeV protons from the KEK proton synchrotron (PS) are extracted in a 1.1μs spill every 2.2seconds. The proton beam is bent to the Kamioka direction, and hits an aluminum target embedded in the first horn. A pair of horn magnets focuses positively charged particles, mainly positive pions produced in the proton-aluminum interaction. A pion monitor[3] is occasionall...
