Omega Group

Brookhaven National Laboratory

Brookhaven National Laboratory Physics Department Building 510A Upton, Long Island, NY 11973 U.S.A.

Current Experiments
Omega Group members are collaborators on the following experiments.

• ATLAS Experiment (CERN: Geneva, Switzerland)
    - US ATLAS Collaboration
    - ATLAS Upgrade
• D0 (Fermilab: Batavia, Illinois)
• Proton and Deuteron EDM Experiments at the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory
• MicroBooNE - an experiment at Fermilab with a large Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) to be exposed to the Booster neutrino beam and the NuMI beam at Fermilab.
• Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab: http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov/ - A proposed experiment to measure the muon anomalous magnetic moment to 0.14 ppm, a fourfold improvement over the previous Brookhaven E821 experiment.
• The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab:  http://mu2e.fnal.gov/ - A proposed experiment to improve the sensitivity to muon-to-electron conversion by 4 orders of magnitude.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
