Hidden Sector Fixed Target Experiments at Fermilab

Wednesday 4 Sep 2019, 08:30 → 18:00 US/Central

Curia II (Fermilab)

Nikita Blinov

We are excited to announce a one-day symposium on ideas at Fermilab for Hidden Sector Fixed Target experiments for Wednesday, Sept 4th. The meeting is intended to kick-off discussion among various fixed target experimental initiatives based at Fermilab or where there is some intellectual investment at FNAL. This inaugural meeting will feature talks from the different experimental initiatives including existing neutrino and fixed-target experiments and new or extended detector concepts. We also plan for a summary discussion session where we can brainstorm about how we can facilitate communication and organization going forward.
