•Two important neutrino experiments are coming on line
soon:
–MiniBooNE will use
the 8GeV Booster beam and a detector 500 m away to look for neutrino oscillations in the range Dm2~1 eV2 – the range indicated by the LSND experiment.
–NUMI will use the 120
GeV Main Injector beam and a detector 750 km away to look for neutrino oscillations in the
range of Dm2~10-5 eV2 – the range
indicated by atmospheric and solar neutrino data.
•Both of these experiments place a major challenge on the Booster –
arguably the only more or less original part of the Fermilab
accelerator complex.
