Particle Physics Seminar

"The Braidwood Reactor Neutrino Experiment"

Presented by Edward Blucher, University of Chicago

Thursday, November 17, 2005, 11:00 am — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Recent years have seen enormous progress in the physics of neutrino mixing, but several critical questions remain. What is the value of theta_13, the last unmeasured mixing angle in the neutrino mixing matrix? What is the mass hierarchy? Do neutrino oscillations violate CP symmetry? The value of theta_13 is central to each of these questions.
This seminar will describe plans for a two-location neutrino
oscillation experiment at the Braidwood Nuclear Power Station in Illinois. The goal of the experiment is to measure theta_13 with a sensitivity of sin2 2 heta_13~0.01, more than an order of magnitude better than previous experiments.
