6. Neutrino quantum decoherence at current and future reactor experiments

Christoph Andreas Ternes (IFIC)

21/07/2020, 11:00

I discuss quantum decoherence effects in neutrino oscillations. After a brief introduction to neutrino quantum decoherence, we turn our attention to reactor experiments and discuss how well these experiments could measure decoherence effects. In particular, I discuss results from the analysis of data from the current experiments RENO and Daya Bay, and discuss how well JUNO can improve these results.

82. The future of the Fermilab Accelerator Division in 10 minutes

The Fermilab Accelerator Division has a solid milestone for the next generation HEP facility. The proton accelerator and the NuMI target system are ready to operate 1-MW beam power to reveal neutrino properties. The Mu2e beam line has begun to be constructed which has a unique beam transport to discover the charged-lepton flavor violation (CLFV). Recently, IOTA demonstrated the concept of...

73. Magnetized Electron Beams

Electron Cooling is a process in which a heavier proton or ion beam is transversely and longitudinally cooled by a co-propagating electron beam. The cooling rate for this method of beam cooling is proportional to the transverse emittance of the cooling electron beam. Using magnetized electron beams to partition the Eigen emittances we can achieve much smaller emittances for higher efficiency...

24. Intelliquench: real-time prediction of magnet quenches in superconducting magnets.

Duc Hoang (Fermilab)

In superconducting magnets, the irreversible transition of a portion of the coils to the resistive state is called “quench.” Having large stored energy, quenches can lead to damage of magnet components due to localized heating, high voltage, or large mechanical forces. Unfortunately, current quench protection systems can only detect the quench after it happens, giving magnet operators very...

2. Neutrino Flux Analysis and Monitoring for Power Improvements in NuMI

Nilay Bostan (University of Iowa)

The determination of the neutrino flux from accelerator neutrino beams exhibits a challenge for the current and future short- and long-baseline neutrino experiments. These experiments provide the measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters, the mass hierarchy, and the CP phase with high sensitivity. The current flux predictions for the on-axis and off-axis NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main...
