CARE06, 17 Nov 2006 V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities

Three years of BENE in a nutshell

• 2004 BENE established on the EU scene

• MMW workshop May 2004: the MMW frontier Villars SPSC meeting Sep 04, where

we cashed

renewed attention to a Eu ν program (R&D)

emergence of a ν “construction window” !!!!!!!!!!! Betabeam DS approved !• 2005 BENE consolidated on the EU & international scene

– NNN05 in April and NuFact05 in June physics case further established in the two workshops

R&D advancing :HARP+MUSCAT data out, MERIT+MICE approved,

making the ν case in the strategic discussion ahead

ISS launched, aiming resolutely to DS Proposal

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006 V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities

• 2006 BENE proved a driving force of the International Scoping Study with US+Japan+India and more

published in Jan-May a comprehensive Midterm Scientific Report CERN Yellow 2006-005 22 May 2006

scored in July a “formal” CERN Council recognition of its physics case its R&D recommendations

is now diving into an intense period of preparation of FP7 proposals Design Study already in April 07

will do so in its natural international context the International Design Stud(ies)

the real task and challenge

creation of a continental collaboration with a leading CERN kernel with regular and adequate participation & funding from each national lab and national agency

richness of options makes consensus more laboriousNB legitimate different scientific interests do exist

need an unprecedented level of coherence & good will otherwise ….. LHC upgrade, ILC, CLIC ….

ISS (and IDS) in a nutshell

• Physics boosted comparison unprecedently, including systematics GLOBES !!!!!!!!! M. Lindner

• Accelerator updated NuFact Baseline, defined R&D priorities started exploring sinergies with Superbeams

• Detector rejuvenated simulations, established baselines for the few main options, defined R&D priorities

for BENE and future initiatives to report to

to bring about the indispensable consensus

PAF shows the way MMW Driver, Target, Collectors ….. everybody needs them

A very high priority aim:

need advice & help of CARE & ESGARD

BENE efforts for FP7Please contact us and join to help

NuFact&Superbeam Design Study Rob Edgecock(RAL) and Marcos Dracos(IN2P3) have taken the responsibility to start a WG assembling a first skeleton of proposal to bepresented at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). This was given good priority by ESGARD and is at the moment the most promising immediateoption that we have.

Betabeam Design Study A DS study is already in progress in the Eurisol framework. Mats Lindroos (CERN) has taken the task to explore within the present DS a firstskeleton of a second phase proposal. At the moment, however, it appears that we will have to delay this to the later FP7 DS call. Mats will present his present thinking at CARE06

Several Joint Research Activities (JRA),

IA1- European proton accelerator R&D high power option for a proton driver sector JRA M. Zito/CEA and J. Pozimski /RAL will follow it target sector (a WP in a larger JRA? ) C. Densham/RAL and M. Dracos/IN2P3 have taken the charge of establishing contacts A Networking Activity (NA) containing a fraction of BENE areas of interest could be accommodated in this IA. IA2-Novel accelerating techniques Strengthening "our" new RAL muon facility could be part of it too. A MICE JRA is being prepared by K. Kyberd and A. Blondel. A JRA on FFAG’s. Francois Meot (IN2P3/CEA) has accepted the task, in collaboration with R. Edgecock, S. Machida No discussion on any Networking Activity (NA) nor Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA. IA3 Superconducting RF (SCRF) accelerators R&D: Rebecca Saviour of Lancaster has accepted to be BENE’s RF expert that will foster BENE interests in this IA.

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006 V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities

BENE efforts for FP7Please contact us and join to helpFP7 is finally starting. A first FP7 call, for Design studies, is expected before the end of the year. Proposals will be due in April, a few months later. Approval could bring first funding at the beginnining of2008 or so.A second call, for Integrating Activities, is expected Nov 07, with Mar 08 as a deadline, with first funding early 2009. This must contain NAs, TAs, JRAs, see belowNext relevant calls 2009 !!! We should not be stalling for two more years !!We need the largest possible consensus and coherence. It will clearly not be easy to assemble all the conditions, support from CERN and National agencies and Laboratories, for successful bids. According to the recent ESGARD/CARE preliminary plan, see http://bene.web.cern.ch/bene/Working-groups_mandate.doc, BENE could file bids for Two Design Studies (DS): DS’s are studies of feasibility, to be carried out by a European collaboration, funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with international partners. Recent

newsare that the contribution from EC could be larger than originally indicated, as large as 5 M Euros, and R&D work could be included in addition to feasibility studied. NuFact&Superbeam Design Study Rob Edgecock(RAL) and Marcos Dracos(IN2P3) have taken the responsibility to start a WG assembling a first skeleton of proposal to be presented at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). This was given good priority

byESGARD and is at the moment the most promising immediate option that we have. Betabeam Design Study A DS study is already in progress in the Eurisol framework. Mats Lindroos (CERN) has taken the task to explore within the present DS a first skeleton of a second phase proposal. At the moment, however, it appearsthat we will have to delay this to the later FP7 DS call. Mats will present his present thinking at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). Several Joint Research Activities (JRA), JRA’s are technical R&D projects on realization of key prototypes, demonstrations of performance and the like, to be carried out by a European collaboration , funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with international partners. Bids for JRA’s should take place within the framework of one of the Integrating Activities that ESGARD intends to promote. Many LOI’s have been received by ESGARD and more are coming. The task is now the one to select the ones to be actually proposed as JRA’s within Ia’s. At the moment, three IA’s are envisaged, but a different format is not excluded. A first meeting of the task force preparing these proposals took place at CERN on Oct 30. A brief summary of the state of each follows Presentations from the three coordinators will be presented at CARE06 on Thu Nov 16 afternoon. IA1- European proton accelerator R&D R. Garoby is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. The general theme is proton accelerator R&D, strengthening LHC and the CERN p complex. The total cost of related LOIs is well above 60 M, a reasonable goal is applying for 15 M from EU, with 45 M as total budget. Activities relevant for future neutrino beams would take place in the high power proton driver sector (a JRA being proposed in this area under the responsability of Garoby and collaborators). M. Zito/CEA and J. Pozimski /RAL and others will follow this for BENE exploring also opportunities in the sector of Rapid Cycling Synchrothrons for neutrino applications (NB we need them to be truly rapid, 50 Hz eventually, and therefore NC!).) and target sector (where a WP on high power targetry & collection can be envisaged within a JRA on high power and radiation deposition in materials, chiefly motivated by the R&D for a high quality collimators for LHC). C. Densham/RAL and M. Dracos/IN2P3 have taken the charge of establishing contacts with all EU experts, in and out of the particle physics community, in particular the CERN CNGS and ISOLDE experts, and to try to define the content of such a WP. CARE06 in Frascati should help these contacts. A Networking Activity (NA) containing a fraction of BENE areas of interest could be accommodated in this IA. Transnational Access options have not yet been seriously considered yet. IA2-Novel accelerating techniques E. Jensen is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is much less advanced than IA1 The total cost of related LOIs is 85 M. It has to be reduced dramatically. The leitmotif of the IA is strenghtening CTF3. But strengthening "our" new RAL muon facility could be part of it too. A MICE JRA is being prepared by K. Kyberd and A. Blondel. A JRA on FFAG’s appears negotiable, if downsized. Francois Meot (IN2P3/CEA) has accepted the task, in collaboration with R. Edgecock, S. Machida and other experts of pushing this within the team preparing this IA proposal. Discussion at CARE06 should prove very instrumental. No discussion on any Networking Activity (NA) or Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA. IA3 Superconducting RF (SCRF) accelerators R&D: O. Napoly is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is also less advanced than IA1. The total cost of related LOIs is 31 M, with more big ones still coming. One is a JRA for a big RF testing facility. A JRA on 200 Mhz muon acceleration cavities could be accommodated in this. R&D on p acceleration cavity may instead go to WG1, will see Rebecca Saviour of Lancaster has accepted to be BENE’s RF expert that will foster BENE interests in this IA. Discussion at CARE06 should again prove very instrumental. No discussion on Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA. Olivier has in mind a single large SCRF NA. Finally, outside the framework of CARE, we intend to propose also a neutrino detector test facility at CERN. Paul Soler will be in charge of fostering this in connection with the BENE steering group. The right FP7 framework will have to identified, while contacts begin, starting with the (few !) neutrino physicists left at CERN. Timeline At CARE06 we will plan work on all of this. Design Studies being the most urgent priority. Deadline is April, remember!A detailed calendar will be issued. We already know that one next major appointment will be a meeting on the transition from the International Scoping Study (ISS) to the International Design studi(es), the IDS’s. This will be Feb 19-21 at CERN. This will focus on our plans in the frame of our international collaboration with pur US, Japanese, Indian collaborators. That clearly we need to harmonise with our FP7 plans.

Two main physics strategies

use of the high neutrino rate (>1020/year) and energy (10-50 GeV) of Neutrino Factory + LMD (“Hyper-MINOS”) detector of large but not huge mass (50-100 Kt), necessarily magnetic (a dense magnetized Iron detector, or, possibly, Li-Argon), a few 1000 Km away.

use of the lower neutrino rate (1018-19/year) and energy (sub-GeV) of Betabeam + Megaton (“Hyper-Kamioka”) low density detector of very large mass (0.5-1 Mt) and volume (0.5-1 Mm3) non magnetic (a Water Cerenkov detector, or possibly, again Li-Argon), a few 100 Km away.

Superbeam (high power conventional beams)

is less performing, per se

but does have technical synergy with the NuFact largely coincides with the front end of a Factory

solving the technical challenges of a several MegaWatt proton driver and target & collection system, on the way to build a factory, yields a superbeam facility essentially for free (not its detector, however!)

and does have scientific synergy with the Betabeam can use the same detector combination has some truely unique features: 1) oscillation signal is νe→νμ in the first, νμ→νe. in the second, one calibrates the signal (and background) of the other !

2) T-reversal and CPT asymmetries can be measured likely to be integrated in both strategies

Esample of comparison of physics reach: θ13 and CP violating phase

Figure 7 : 99%CL sensitivity of the beta-beam, of the SPL-SuperBeam, and of their combination, see text. Dotted line is the combined Superbeam+beta-beam sensitivity computed for sign(m2)=-1. Sensitivities are compared with a 50 GeV Neutrino Factory producing 21020 decays/straight section/year, and two 40 kton detectors at 3000 and 7000 km

Comparable merits : NuFact somewhat better and more versatile for ν oscillations Megaton offers sinergy with N decay and more

NB conclusions highly preliminary based on still not well agreed yardsticks must now be re-scrutinized much more in depth (ISS)

!!!

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006 V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities

Betabeam + Megaton NuFact + LMD

are complementary !!!!!!!!!!! each has merits unaccesible to the other (matter effects, CP, T , CPT violation, p decay, astroph. & cosmology .. )

by means of truely international collaboration we could and should aim at having both facilities

A general remark

and

we must push both very actively catch opportunities wherever they emerge

seriously aim at building one in Europe in the “construction window”

!!

CARE06, 17 Nov 2006 V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities

Further caveat

Intermediate solutions also emerging !

Higher energy and higher rate betabeams heading to detectors at intermediate distances

thou technically more difficult ( beta acceleration in new higher energy SPS or LHC !) do deserve very careful attention

The International Scoping Study

(ISS)

on Neutrino Factories and Superbeams

A joint venture, jointly set up by the coordinators of the US Neutrino Factory Collaboration the Japanese NuFact-J Work Group

the Eu BENE Network and the host (RAL) UKNF Collaboration

to lay the foundation of a full blown International Design Study

that must advance to same level of progress as Betabeams

Detectors (NEW!)

Water Cherenkov (1000kton)Magnetized Iron Calorimeter (50kton)Low Z scintillator (100 kton)Liquid Argon TPC (100 kton)Hybrid Emulsion (4 kton)

Near detectors (and instrumentation)

Physics

compare performance of various options on equal footing of parameters and conventionsand agreed standards of resolutions, simulation etc.

identify tools needed to do so (e.g. Globes upgraded?)

propose « best values » of baselines, beam energies etc..

Accelerator: -- proton driver (energy, time structure and consequences)-- target and capture (chose target and capture system) -- phase rotation and cooling -- acceleration and storage

evaluate economic interplays and risksinclude a measure of costing and safety assessment

One crucial task of BENE in the ISS year

assemble a real EDS (Eu DesignStudy) collaboration !!!!! that will sign and provide the manpower & largest part of the funds, matching funds, for a FP7 bid able to have the blessing of ECFA and good odds of approval in Brussels.

find the synthesis of so far not obviously converging interests CERN, INFN, CCLRC, IN2P3, CEA, PPARC, CSIC, Germany?,

Belgium, NIKHEF, everybody

CERN positive attitude towards the ISS and BENE’s initiative willingness to assemble a small ISS task force will no doubt greatly help a few fractions of FTE can make an impact
