The Proceedings of the 2011 workshop on Fundamental Physics at Intensity Frontier. Science opportunities intensity frontier are identified and described in areas heavy quarks, charged leptons, neutrinos, proton decay, new light weakly-coupled particles, nucleons, nuclei, atoms.
Part 2 of "Project X: Accelerator Reference Design, Physics Opportunities, Broader Impacts". In this Part, we outline the particle-physics program that can be achieved with Project X, a staged superconducting linac for intensity-frontier particle physics. Topics include neutrino physics, kaon muon electric dipole moments, neutron-antineutron oscillations, new light particles, hadron structure, spectroscopy, and lattice-QCD calculations. 1 is available as arXiv:1306.5022 [physics.acc-ph] 3...
Abstract The NSF-funded Redshirt in Engineering Consortium was formed 2016 with the goal of enhancing ability academically talented but underprepared students coming from low-income backgrounds to successfully graduate engineering degrees. takes its name practice redshirting college athletics, idea providing an extra year and support help promising complete a bachelor's degree. builds on success three existing "academic redshirt" programs expands model new schools. Existing Institutions...
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is one most precisely measured quantities in experimental particle physics. Its latest measurement at Brookhaven National Laboratory deviates from Standard Model expectation by approximately 3.5 standard deviations. goal new experiment, E989, now under construction Fermilab, a fourfold improvement precision. Here, we discuss details future and its current status.
This report represents the response of Intensity Frontier Quark Flavor Physics Working Group to Snowmass charge. We summarize current status quark flavor physics and identify many exciting future opportunities for studying properties strange, charm, bottom quarks. The ability these studies reveal effects new at high mass scales make them an essential ingredient in a well-balanced experimental particle program.
We present a phenomenological conjecture of new physics that is suggested by the topology and kinematic properties multi-muon events recently reported CDF collaboration. show salient features data can be accounted for postulating pair production three states h1, h2, h3 with masses in range 15, 7.3 3.6 GeV/c^2, respectively. The heavier cascade-decay into lighter ones, whereas lightest state decays tau lifetime order 20 ps.
These reports present the results of 2013 Community Summer Study APS Division Particles and Fields ("Snowmass 2013") on future program particle physics in U.S. Chapter 2, Intensity Frontier, discusses research with high-intensity beams rare processes. This area includes experiments neutrinos, proton decay, charged-lepton quark weak interactions, atomic nuclear probes fundamental symmetries, searches for new, light, weakly-interacting particles.
Doubly-charged Higgs bosons ($Δ^{--}/Δ^{++}$) appear in several extensions to the Standard Model and can be relatively light. We review theoretical motivation for these states present a study of discovery reach future runs Fermilab Tevatron pair-produced doubly-charged decaying like-sign lepton pairs. also comment on potential at other colliders.
The small-angle calorimeters of the SLAC large detector (SLD) were successfully operated during recent linear collider (SLC) engineering run. luminosity monitor and tagger (LMSAT) covers angular region between 28 68 mrad from beam axis, while medium-angle silicon calorimeter (MASC) 68-190-mrad region. Both are silicon-tungsten sampling calorimeters. LMSAT employs 23 layers 0.86 X/sub 0/ sampling, MASC has 10 1.74 sampling. authors present results first run SLC with SLD on beamline.< <ETX...

The CDF II level 1 track trigger system reconstructs charged tracks in the plane transverse to beam direction. electronics uses hit data from 4 axial layers of central outer tracking chamber, and has been recently upgraded include complementary information 3 stereo layers. Together with existing it provides improved fake rejection at 1. In addition, high resolution segment is delivered Level 2 processors, where software algorithms perform three-dimensional reconstruction. 3D-tracks are...
Abstract Low-income students are underrepresented in engineering and more likely to struggle programs. Such may be academically talented perform well high school, but have relatively weak academic preparation for college compared who attended better-resourced schools. Four-year computer science curricula designed calculus-ready, many eager become engineers or scientists need additional time support succeed. The NSF-funded Redshirt Engineering Consortium was formed 2016 as a collaborative...
A set of calorimeters using silicon diode sampling has been constructed to provide the small angle electromagnetic calorimetry for SLD (Stanford Linear Collider Large Detector) at SLAC Accelerator Center). The luminosity monitor and tagger (LMSAT) medium calorimeter (MASC) measure direction energy electrons photons in region 23-190 mrd from beam axis. uses nearly two square meters diodes segmented into cells approximately one centimeter area. One LMSAT module tested with Brookhaven National...
The Fermilab Tevatron offers unique opportunities to perform measurements of the heavier B hadrons that are not accessible at ϒ(4S) resonance. In this summary, we describe some recent heavy flavor results from DØ and CDF collaborations discuss prospects for future measurements.
