Description
The Scientific Capabilities Review Committee is asked to evaluate and compare each of the two approaches to building LBNE with respect to its capabilities to achieve the science goals of the experiment. The Committee's review should consider, but not necessarily be limited to, the following questions:
  1. What are the crucial assumptions made by proponents in deriving the sensitivity for fulfillment of the science goals?
  2. How well are these assumptions justified by the proponents based on extrapolation from existing experiments, test beam measurements, and/or validated simulations?
  3. How well have the proponents considered consequences of detector performance being degraded from the assumptions by "reasonable" variations, where "reasonable" is determined from experience with similar detectors?
  4. Are there major scientific risks and opportunities that are not covered sufficiently in the Case Studies?
Review Committee:
  • David Wark (Imperial College/RAL) Chair
  • Paul Grannis (Stony Brook)
  • Dan Green (FNAL)
  • Ko Nishikawa (KEK)
  • Hamish Robertson (Washinton)
  • Bernard Sadoulet (Berkeley)
