Grant: Subatomic Physics Envelope - Research Tools and Instruments
TRIUMF
$240,000.00
T2K near detector integration
EF 2009-10
Résumé
A neutrino beam produced by a newly built high intensity proton accelerator (J-PARC) in Tokai will be aimed at Super-Kamiokande detector in Kamioka 295 km away. The experiment aims at a precision study of the neutrino oscillation and neutrino mass. The T2K collaboration is an international collaboration of about 400 collaborators from 12 countries. In 2006, an NSERC grant was awarded to construct three key detectors at Tokai site, the optical transition radiation (OTR) beam monitor, time projection chamber (TPC), and fine grained detector (FGD) to study the neutrino beam that is sent to Kamioka. The OTR detector is currently being installed to be ready for the first neutrino beam in April 2009. The first FGD and TPC detectors are in the TRIUMF beam line for beam tests. They will be shipped to Japan in June 2008 for installation. The first physics run is scheduled in December 2009.
This grant proposal is a request to cover some of the integration costs of TPC and FGD detectors in summer 2009, which were not included in the original grant request.
