LANNDD - A Massive Liquid Argon Detector for Proton Decay, Supernova and Solar Neutrino Studies and a Neutrino Factory Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 atmospheric neutrinos 4) Use as Far detector for Neutrino Factories in the USA, Japan or Europe.

The liquid Argon TPC: a powerful detector for future neutrino experiments and proton decay searches
We discuss the possibility of new generation neutrino and astroparticle physics experiments exploiting the liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) technique, following a graded strategy that envisions applications with increasing detector masses (from 100 ton to 100 kton). The ICARUS R&D program has already demonstrated that the technology is mature with the test of the T600 detector at ...
متن کاملA Unique Detector for Proton Decay and Neutrino Oscillations Study (lanndd) for a Usa Dusel
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.

The recent dramatic success of the ICARUS 300-ton liquid-argon time-projection-chamber prototype [1] indicates that it is timely to review the possibilities for large-scale application of this technology for accelerator-based neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics, and proton decay [2, 4, 3, 5]. A full exploration of the MNS neutrino mixing matrix (and extensions if sterile neutrinos exist) sh...

This report summarises the conclusions from the detector group of the International Scoping Study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-Beam neutrino facility. The baseline detector options for each possible neutrino beam are defined as follows: 1. A very massive (Megaton) water Cherenkov detector is the baseline option for a sub-GeV Beta Beam and Super Beam facility. 2. There are a number of ...

In this paper we address a class of “ultimate” generation experiments for the search of CP-violation in neutrino oscillations. Neutrino factories require large magnetized detectors. New generation superbeams or beta-beams need giant detectors. The liquid Argon TPC technology has great potentials for both applications. Although the ICARUS program has demonstrated that this technology is mature, ...
