T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment
EF 2009-10
Résumé
This grant proposal is a request for the operation cost for the long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, Tokai-to-Kamioka(T2K) experiment, in Japan. A neutrino beam produced by a newly built high intensity proton accelerator (J-PARC) inTokai will be sent to Super-Kamiokande detector in Kamioka 295km away to precisely. study the neutrino oscillation and neutrino mass. The T2K collaboration is an international collaboration from 12 countries and about 400 collaborators. Seven institutions from Canada participate in this project. In 2006, the NSERC grant was awarded to construct three key detectors at J-PARC, the optical transition radiation (OTR) beam monitor, time projection chamber (TPC), and fine grained detector (FGD) to study the neutrino beam and interactions. The OTR detector is currently being installed to be ready for the first neutrino beam in April 2009. The first FGD and TPC modules are in the TRIUMF beam line for the beam test. They will be shipped to Japan in June 2009. The first physics data taking will start in December 2009 for 5 years. This grant request covers the travel cost, personnel costs, and operation and maintenance costs of the T2K-Canada collaboration.
