This workshop is to explore physics opportunities, including dark sector particle (DSP) searches, at PIP-II beam dump and future facilities. The PIP-II Linac at Fermilab is capable of accelerating up to 2 mA of protons to 800 MeV and is a fundamental element in providing a large flux of neutrinos essential for precision measurements at future long-baseline neutrino experiments. The large proton current that will be provided by the PIP-II Linac and the proton interactions in the beam dump also provide an excellent opportunity to search for dark sector particles produced via various portals. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the potential for DSP searches and other physics opportunities that can take full advantage of the beam power of this facility. We anticipate that a white paper will be produced at the end of the workshop. The workshop will be held from 1 pm CDT on Wednesday, May 10 and run through 12 pm CDT on Friday, May 12.
A discussion on the proposed DAMSA experiment will take place starting the afternoon of Friday May 12 and run through the morning of Saturday, May 13, immediately following the workshop.
Please register prior to April 30th but as soon as possible, given that the site access could take up to a couple of weeks. Fermilab access will be requested as part of the registration process.
There will a registration fee of $40/person for in-person registrants, collected in cash on-site at the start of the workshop.
A list of hotels in the area around Fermilab is also attached to this page in case that is useful in securing accommodations for the workshop.
