ORNL空间中子源第二靶站时代的物理学机遇
Physics Opportunities in the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source Second Target Station Era
摘要:
橡树岭国家实验室(ORNL)的Spanish中子源(SNS)第一目标站(FTS),用于COHERENT实验,提供了一个强烈的和极高质量的脉冲停止π介子中微子源,能量高达约50 MeV。计划对SNS进行升级,包括第二个目标站(STS),这将使预期的中微子通量增加一倍,同时保持与FTS源相似的质量。此外,可提供用于十吨级探测器的额外空间。我们在这里描述了中微子物理,其他粒子和核物理,探测器的发展使用FTS和STS中微子源的令人兴奋的机会。
英文摘要:
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) First Target Station (FTS), used by the COHERENT experiment, provides an intense and extremely high-quality source of pulsed stopped-pion neutrinos, with energies up to about 50 MeV. Upgrades to the SNS are planned, including a Second Target Station (STS), which will approximately double the expected neutrino flux while maintaining quality similar to the FTS source. Furthermore, additional space for ten-tonne scale detectors may be available. We describe here exciting opportunities for neutrino physics, other particle and nuclear physics, and detector development using the FTS and STS neutrino sources.
