M10.00001: PIP-III and future opportunities in the US Neutrino Programs Invited Speaker: Paul Derwent The focus of Fermilab's long term research program is the physics of neutrino oscillations. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, will study neutrino oscillations with a baseline of 1300 km. The neutrinos will be produced in the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF), a proposed new beam line from Fermilab's Main Injector. The physics goals of DUNE require a proton beam with a power of roughly 2.5 MW at 120 GeV, which is about four times the current maximum power. In addition to the long baseline program, Fermilab is pursuing a comprehensive program to investigate short baseline neutrino physics. I will present a view on how the Fermilab accelerator complex will evolve to meet these goals. [Preview Abstract] |

M10.00002: Accelerator-based neutrino program in Japan Invited Speaker: Tadashi Koseki T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. An intense neutrino beam generated by J-PARC MR (Main Ring synchrotron) in the Tokai village on the East coast of Japan is sent to a water Cherenkov detector, Super-Kamiokande, which is located 295 km west from Tokai. The MR delivers 460 kW proton beam to the T2K experiment. In near future, a repetition time of the MR will be shortened from the present 2.48 s to less than 1.3 s by replacing main magnet power supplies. After the upgrade, beam intensity will be increased gradually toward 1.3 MW for T2K, T2K-II and also for the next generation Hyper-Kamiokande project. In a long term, construction of new booster ring for increasing injection energy of MR is planned to realize a beam intensity larger than 3 MW. A new proton driver based on superconductiong linac, which will utilize existing infrastructures in the Tsukuba campus of KEK, is also under discussion as a future mulit-MW beam facility.

M10.00003: High power proton beams: limits and future Invited Speaker: Stuart D. Henderson High power proton accelerators are important tools for high-energy physics, nuclear physics and materials science, but also are capable of powering important applications such as isotope production, materials irradiation and advanced nuclear energy systems. The next generation of high-power proton accelerators will need to provide higher beam power and higher reliability while remaining affordable. The technological limitations of high power proton accelerators will be reviewed as will the promising future directions in the field. [Preview Abstract] |
