Detector Concepts
A quick review of existing, planned and forward-looking concepts for neutrino detectors yields an enormous number of exciting potential options for future neutrino experiments of all kinds
Question: How do we proceed in order to answer the ISS charge regarding the detectors? The many technology choices coupled with the a host of
physics issues and an equally varied set of technology choices for the accelerator complex yields what at first glance presents a rather complex phase space of options
However a recent BBC documentary helped me see how we might proceed. One minute of it.

Ideal detectorIdeal detector Longitudinal segmentation
Large density of measurement planes needed for charge identification At least 1 every 5 cm: 10-5 effect for p>2.5 GeV This could be improved either with a stronger B field (default 1T) or with iron
free regions Transverse resolution
Not important for the charge (dominated by ms) Important for rejection of right-sign-muons from D decays At least 1 cm transverse resolution
Hadronic angular resolution: Depends on the previous parameters 5cm and 1cm respectively gives better resolution that the one assumed by
LMD, as demonstrated by the Monolith test-beam. This would reduce by a factor of 3 the hadronic backgrounds obtained in the LMD
study.
Hadron energy resolution: Depends on longitudinal segmentation mainly. This is important for the reconstruction of the neutrino energy The shape of the ws-muon spectrum as a function of the neutrino energy is
crucial for a simultaneous measurement of 13 and cp
The neutrino energy resolution has not being studied yet

Iron free regions ?Iron free regions ? A muon of 1 GeV will traverse at least 1 iron-free module One has to design the detector such that the muon traverses at least one
iron-free module after the extinction of the hadronic shower, to facilitate pattern recognition.
The measurement of the momentum and the charge is considerably improved in the iron-free region.
One can probably reduce the number of active planes in the iron region: Less hadronic energy/angle resolution. Find a compromise.

QuestionsQuestions
Is it possible to have a longitudinal segmentation better than 5 cm at a reasonable cost ?
Is it possible to have a magnetic field stronger than 1 tesla in such a large structure?
What is the best scheme for producing the magnetic field ? Would it be enough to have a magnetic field in the iron-free regions ? What is the impact of the iron-free regions in the development of the
hadronic shower ? I haven’t thought much about that, but if we are interested in low
energy neutrinos, is still 50GeV/c the preferred momentum for the stored muons?

SummarySummary
There are many questions to be addressed The current knowledge is a good starting point for future studies: Simulations:
Sensitivity for other detector configurations with the new physics requirements
Revisit the different strategies taking into account the existence of degeneracies and the possibility of combining several baselines and golden-silver channels
Hardware tests: Study the detector resolution with small prototypes. Tests with magnetic fields
Cost estimates

Role of Phase I as a test detector for the factory era
• Currently we only have experience of running magnetised iron detector of up to 5 kton. No experience of running a large mass magnetised detector.
• So during phase I of the operation of the INO detector while we do interesting physics using atmospheric neutrinos, it can also be used as a test detector for the factory era and to improve upon it .
• The modular nature of this detector can even allow us to try out more than one options for the active elements like RPC, scintillators …
• While we have a supporting funding agency in India we need international support and collaboration to achieve this.

Summary
• Detector is feasible> Large area toroidal fields can by directly extrapolated
from MINOS design> Can now make an affordable large are scintillator
readout with NOvA APD technology> Enhanced position resolution with MINERvA-like
triangles> Costs are all from 2004/2005
• Optimize sampling to get lower tracking threshold for charge ID> Would also give good electron counting
• Come up with parameterization of resolutions, efficiency/fake rate, & costs for optimization

A Magnetized Nova
Basically the NOvA detector.
Planes of plastic tubes filled with liquid scintillator.
Fully active: Good for electron identification
Total mass: 30 kilotons. 150m long, 15.7m x 15.7 m. Surrounded by coils providing a magnetic field. Use the ATLAS toroid coils as examples.
The advantage over a magnetic iron detector is that it also gives us a handle on the momentum and charge of the hadrons as well as those of the muons.
NOMAD was a successful magnetic detector that used this principle.

More details
ATLAS has 8 rectangular coils each 25m x 5m. Superconducting.120 turns per coil20.5 kAField at centre 0.41 TCost is 75 MCHF
NOvA is 15m high, so lets’s modify the coil to 15m x 15m same circumferenceNOvA is ~ 150m long, so we would need 10 coils on either side 20 coilsWe don’t need such a big field for the charge: drop it to 0.15T. Reduce the number of turns/coil.Does the decrease in number of turns compensate the increase in number of coils?Do we need a superconducting setup?
With such a small field and with iron saturating at about 1.8T, the cross section of the return yoke need only be 25m x (15m x 0.15/1.8) ~ 25m x 0.75m per coil pair

Recalling the physics case
• Study the CP violation in the leptonic sector: e µ the most sensitive (“golden”) channel
• In the (13,) measurement, ambiguities arise– Intrinsic degeneracy [Nucl. Phys. B608 (2001) 301] m2 sign degeneracy [JHEP 0110 (2001) 1]
– [23, /2 -23] symmetry [Phys. Rev. D65 073023 (2002)]
• The “silver” channel (e and µ) is one way of solving the intrinsic degeneracy at the neutrino factory– A. Donini et al., Nucl. Phys. B646 (2002) 321.
• An hybrid emulsion detector is considered– D. Autiero et al., Euro. Phys. J. C33 (2004) 243

Muon Polarizationmuon polarization is too small to be very useful for physics (AB, Campanelli) but it must be monitored. In addition it is precious for energy calibration (Raja&Tollestrup, AB)
a muon polarimeter would perform the momentum analysis of the decay electrons at the end of a straight section. Because of parity violation in muon decay the ratio of high energy to low energy electrons is a good polarization monitor.

Main parameters to MONITOR 1. Total number of muons circulating in the ring, BCT, near detector for purely leptonic processes 2. muon beam polarisation, polarimeter 3. muon beam energy and energy spread, race-track or triangle. NO BOW-TIE! +polarimeter 4. muon beam angle and angular divergence. straight section design +beam divergence monitors e.g. Cerenkov 5. Theory of decay, including radiative effects OK
Yes, we believe that the neutrino flux can be monitored to 10-3 IF + design of accelerator foresees sufficient diagnostics. + quite a lot of work to do to design and simulate these diagnostics.
Conclusions I

Main parameters to MONITOR 1. Total number of ions circulating in the ring, BCT, near detector for purely leptonic processesthere is no inverse muon decay, must rely on neutral current. Some model dependence? 2. ion beam polarisation, NO they are spin 0! no problem 3. ion beam energy and energy spread, no polarization -- need magnetic field measurement. precision required a few 10-4 (evt. rate goes like E3)
4. ion beam angle and angular divergence. beam divergence monitor e.g. Cerenkov ?? 5. Theory of ion decay, including radiative effects To be done neutrino flux can probably be monitored to a few 10-3
– somewhat more difficult than for muons, but not impossible. provided: + design of accelerator foresees sufficient diagnostics.
+ quite a lot of work to do to design and simulate these diagnostics and near detector
Conclusions II: and the Beta-beam?

Conclusions
So as you have seen, there is a rich body of work to draw upon for future neutrino detectors.
How to limit the scope for detailed R&D leading to a conceptual design for 1 or 2 detectors will be an iterative process and will require input (Direction!) from the Physics and Accelerator Facility WGs, an open mind and tremendous discipline.
We should not be afraid to investigate aggressive approaches to technologies, but must remain “Earth Bound”
A focused Detector R&D based on this type of optimization study will have an enormously large impact on future neutrino experiments regardless of whether they are at a Neutrino Factory, Beam Facility, Super Beam, or even a Not-So Super Beam Likely to even extend beyond Neutrino Physics –
Experimental Astrophysics, for example. A good time is likely to be had by All
