Proton Driver Workshop Wraps Up; Organizers Prepare Summary Report | ||
| ||
|
At the end of four days spent exploring the new physics that could emerge from
a more intense proton source, participants in the Proton Driver workshop wrapped
their work up Saturday with briefings from the convenors of the six working
groups.
"There were certainly things that came out stronger than I could hope for," said organizer Steve Geer. "There clearly is a lot of physics that can be done at a proton driver." The working groups were Neutrino Oscillations; Neutrino Interactions; Muons; Kaons and Pions; Antiprotons; and Tevatron Collider. Each of the convenors will now have a month to produce a report from their working group. Geer will then summarize the results into one report, and hand it over to an independent committee of 15 reviewers appointed by Fermilab. "Steve [Geer] is in charge of taking individual contributions from the working groups and putting them together in a document," said Princeton University's Peter Meyers, who heads the Fermilab Proton Driver Scientific Advisory Committee. "We're looking forward to seeing him and the convenors refine the ideas that emerged from the workshop, to see if a strong physics case emerges." Geer and Meyer plan to present their respective findings to Director Michael Witherell by the end of the year. The laboratory will then decide whether to submit documentation to the DOE establishing "mission need," to make its case for a Critical Decision 0 - the first step toward a major new project.
More than 120 people attended the Proton Driver workshop, half of them from
Fermilab.
