SMNP Parallel Session - The Fishtank 13 N Crossover

The SMNP working group will discuss the highest priority research for precise Standard Model or Beyond the Standard Model research that can be addressed via ultra cold neutrons and intense sources of radioisotopes at low energy. An initial list of topics for discussion is given as the agenda below. These discussions will be followed by the preparation of the draft white paper for this working group. For Audio or Video Connection Dial 1-510-883-7860 - 82SMNP (827667)

27 Research with Ultra-Cold Neutrons

Discuss fundamental measurements with UCN: neutron lifetime, neutron EDM, polarized neutron beta assymetry, neutron/anti-neutron oscillation, gravity.

Speaker: Discussion leaders: Steve Lamoreaux, Albert Young, Andy Saunders

28 Fundamental research with radioisotopes

Discussion of precision measurements with intense sources of radioisotopes: Electron dipole moment, superallowed beta decay (CVC), nuclear beta neutrino correlation, atomic parity violation.

Speaker: Discussion leaders: Guy Savard, Peter Mueller, Harvey Gould, Tim Chupp

15:30 Coffee Break

29 Prepare draft white paper

Draft 2-3 page white paper on fundamental physics opportunities with neutrons and radioisotopes at Project X enabled by CW proton beams in the 2-3 GeV energy range.

Speaker: Coordinators: Guy Savard and Jerry Nolen
