“…Over the course of the previous year Fermilab developed a physics plan for the next decade [21], which includes an upgrade to the accelerator complex, called "Project X". "Project X" could produce ≈ 2 MW of beam power for proton energies ranging from 60-120 GeV and resulting in very high intensity neutrino beams.…”

We will start with a brief overview of neutrino oscillation physics with emphasis on the remaining unanswered questions. Next we will discuss results and status of long baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments that are in a mature data taking mode, have just started or are about to start data taking. Then, we will present the next generation of long baseline experiments with a primary goal to search for the yet to be measured third neutrino mixing angle. Finally we will introduce the plans for future long baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments of which the primary goals are the search for CP violation in the neutrino sector, and the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy. We will focus on experiments utilizing powerful (0.7 -4.0 MW) neutrino beams, either existing or in the design phase.

“…At Fermilab, an intense activity has been devoted to Project X, a 8 GeV superconducting proton linac based on the ILC accelerating structure. Coupled with a Main Injector, this complex would provide a power of 2.3 MW for proton energy in the range between 50 and 120 GeV [2]. A Wide Band Beam, aimed at DUSEL in Homestake and with a baseline of 1300 km, is one of the favored physics strategies.…”

In this contribution the Super Beam, a key project for the future neutrino oscillation facility, is presented. After a brief review of the concept and the various projects considered, we will discuss some issues related to the specifications of the parameters. In particular the energy of the beam plays a crucial role: recent data from hadroproduction experiments like HARP needs to be carefully studied and incorporated in beam simulations. The Euronu design study, where one work package is devoted to SuperBeam studies, will address many of these open questions.

“…In 2007, because of expected delays in the timeline for the International Linear Collider (ILC), the construction of a high-intensity proton source at Fermilab was proposed as an interim project [52]. Project X calls for the construction of an 8 GeV linac with ILC beam parameters-essentially a 1:100 scale implementation of the planned ILC linac technology.…”

New Directions in Kaon Physics

Recent measurements of kaon decays provide new information about CKM unitarity, lepton universality, and discrete symmetries. KLOE-2, the proposed extension of the kaon physics program at Frascati, will extend the world data set on kaon decays and conduct interference measurements with neutral kaons. Meanwhile, the decays K → πν ν can be directly related to the CKM matrix elements with minimal theoretical uncertainty, and are the focus of a series of experiments. Several events of K + → π + ν ν have been observed to date; the goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN is to perform an O(100)-event measurement in this channel. Initiatives in Japan-the E391a experiment at KEK, to become E14 at J-PARC-are focused on collecting a few K L → π 0 ν ν events in a first step, while working towards an O(100)-event measurement. Experiments capable of performing O(1000)-event measurements in both channels have been discussed.
