5 Physics questions we are trying to answer The wide range of quark masses is puzzling The top quark discovery in 1995 was an exclamation mark on that The ultra-tiny neutrino mass doesn t fit the standard model In fact we do not understand neutrino s mass..other than they have mass. Do they get it from Higgs field? The Higgs discovery has brought flavor and mass issues to the forefront Much light can be shed on these puzzles by better understanding neutrinos their mass ordering the origin of their masses why they are so small their interactions (CP Violation) relationship to matter-antimatter asymmetry in universe (leptogenesis) and structure of the universe 5 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

6 What is a neutrino? The Little Neutral One The existence of the neutrino (ν) was postulated in 1930 by W. Pauli (Nobel Prize in 1945) as an explanation for the apparent non-conservation of energy in the process of radioactive decays ( I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected ). Soon E. Fermi (Nobel Prize in 1938) was able to demonstrate an elegant theory of weak particle interactions that included the neutrino. The neutrino is an elementary particle which holds no electric charge, travels at nearly the speed of light, and passes through ordinary matter with virtually no interaction. This tiny particle has revolutionized Particle Physics and Cosmology. 6 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

10 Detecting neutrinos from sun s: a shortage Dry-cleaning fluid Homestake Mine South Dakota 30% to 50% of what theoretically predicted 10 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

11 Neutrinos: The loners of the Universe and the chameleons of space The Sun produces only ν e s But, if they would be transformed to ν µ s or ν τ s on their way to Earth, that would make the deficit of the captured ν e s understandable Identity thieves who are torn between identities: ν τ or ν e or ν µ? 11 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

12 Nobel Prize in Physics Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

13 Meanwhile a new era for neutrino physics Super-Kamiokande discovers neutrinos mix (1998) 50,000 ton water detector in the Kamiokande mine in Japan. Cherenkov light emitted by produced charged muons and electrons. 13 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University ~ 14,000 photo detectors 10/05/2016

14 SNO Discovers Solar Neutrinos Mix (2001) SNO experiment in Sudbury Canada 1,000 tonnes of heavy water 2 km below the Earth s surface and 9,500 light detectors. New Questions: Are neutrinos their own antiparticle? What is their absolute mass? Do neutrinos violate CP? New Tools are needed! 14 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

15 Quark mixing leads to matter-antimatter Oscillations Quark mixing also implies that some of the neutral mesons, namely the K 0, B 0 d, and B 0 s, are also quantum mechanical mixtures of flavor This can be interpreted as the neutral meson oscillating in time between itself and its antiparticle 15 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

16 Matter-antimatter Oscillations.CDF & D0 discovery The oscillation of B 0 s mesons was discovered at Fermilab in 2006, and measured to occur at a rate of 3 trillion times per second 16 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University

17 Neutrinos are different Neutrinos are difficult to study because they interact with ordinary matter only through the weak interactions easily travel through a light year of lead they have their own mixing, which may or may not have the same origins as quark mixing (Higgs?) neutrinos oscillate a billion times slower than neutral mesons oscillate Over 100 trillion neutrinos per sec passing through our bodies; only a few though will interact with our bodies over our entire lifetime. Neutrinos created about 1 second after the Big Bang remain all around us today: 150 per cubic centimeter More neutrinos than any other matter particle 17 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

18 Bathed in Neutrinos 40 K radioactive decay 18 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

19 Bathed in neutrinos - making a neutrino beam Billions of neutrinos from natural sources, including the Sun, zip through every square centimeter of the Earth each second. Yet we cannot easily determine their initial type or exactly how far they traveled before reaching a detector. To study neutrinos more effectively we produce (since ~ 1960) high-intensity neutrino beams using proton accelerators. Only a few Laboratories in the world are manufacturing at this point such neutrino beams: J-PARC in Japan, CERN in Europe and Fermilab in the United States. Neutrinos interact so little ; Need high intensity neutrino beams to start with, and massive detectors to detect them. 19 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

20 How to make a neutrino beam proton meson Artwork by Sandbox Studio 20 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

21 How to make a neutrino beam Beam Absorber Start with batches of protons from a bottle of hydrogen gas and accelerate to nearly the speed of light. The high energy protons hit a target (graphite, beryllium, ). Unstable pion and kaon charged particles are produced. The pions and kaons are focused by a magnetic field to go in the desired direction (e.g. magnetic horns). The pions and kaons decay into muons and muon type neutrinos. Blocks of Al, steel and concrete stop and absorb all particles except neutrinos. The direction of the magnetic field determines whether neutrinos or antineutrinos are generated. 21 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

23 What is DUNE? What is LBNF? The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will be a game-changing experiment for neutrino science, potentially transforming our understanding of why the universe exists as it does. The Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is the infrastructure necessary to send a powerful, broad band beam of neutrinos produced at Fermilab 800 miles through the earth, and measure them deep (~ 1mile) underground at South Dakota s Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The DUNE/LBNF project will be the first internationally conceived, constructed, and operated mega-science project hosted by the Department of Energy in the United States. LBNF and DUNE: two sub-projects with a single DOE Federal Project Director - LBNF: DOE project with support from non-doe partners - DUNE: U.S. as partner in an international project 23 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

56 Conclusion We have fascinating physics ahead of us in the neutrino world that can open completely new windows towards our understanding of the world we live in. We are designing the right tools (accelerators, beamlines and detectors) to study this physics. Fermilab has already achieved a world record of proton beam power on target and looking forward to triple and quadruple it in the years ahead. LBNF/DUNE Project on track and moving ahead aggressively. Ready to begin extensive construction effort at far site to support installation of first DUNE detector in the 2021/2022 timeframe. It takes a lot of effort from students, postdocs, faculty, scientists, engineers, designers, technicians,, several years of work, and significant amount of money to accomplish these goals. The effort has to be international. Looking forward to collaborate with several of you in working through the technical challenges and studying this exciting physics. 56 Physics Colloquium Wichita State University 10/05/2016

65 Beamline for the new Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility A design for a new Beamline at Fermilab is under development, which will support the new Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility. Directed towards the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, 1300 km from Fermilab. The primary beam designed to transport high intensity protons in the energy range of GeV to the LBNF target. A broad band, sign selected neutrino beam with its spectrum to fully cover the energy range of the 1 st oscillation node (peaking at 2.4 GeV) and to provide as high as reasonably achievable neutrino flux within the energy range of the 2 nd oscillation node. (Attempting to cover 0.5 ~ 5.0 GeV) All systems designed for 1.2 MW initial proton beam power (PIP-II, ~2024). Facility is upgradeable up to 2.4 MW proton beam power (PIP-III). We are currently assuming 20 year operation of the Beamline, where for the first 5 years we operate at 1.2 MW and for another 15 years at 2.4 MW. The lifetime of the Beamline Facility including the shielding is assumed to be 30 years. 65
