Steps toward formulation of LBNF
• P5 report released, 22 May• International Meeting on Large Neutrino Infrastructures,
Paris, 23-24 June• Meeting of Funding Agencies and Labs on Long-Baseline
Neutrinos at Fermilab, 14 July• Neutrino Summit Meeting, Fermilab, 21-22 July• LBNE Collaboration Meeting, 28 July – 1 Aug• Interim International Executive Board formed to seed a new
collaboration– First meeting scheduled for 23-24 September at Fermilab
• Goal: Submit LOI to Fermilab PAC before end of 2014.Submit full Proposal/CDR by mid-2015

Steps toward formulation of LBNF
P5 Report• Endorsed a Fermilab-based long-baseline neutrinos as a top priority for
US HEP• Called for the formation of a new, international collaboration to execute
this program
International Meeting on Large Neutrino Infrastructures• Brought together funding agencies and leaders of major neutrino
initiatives “to assess opportunities for global scale collaborations.”• Issued statement: “The agencies and laboratory directors … support the
vision of the HEPAP (P5) committee proposing that Fermilab hosts an international facility for short and long‐baseline neutrino oscillations, where internationally driven collaborations are encouraged to propose a program optimised in baseline and detector technology.”

Steps toward formulation of LBNF
Meeting of Funding Agencies and Labs• Representatives from the US (DOE and Fermilab), Brazil (FAPESP),
CERN , India (DAE), Italy (INFN), Japan (MEXT), UK (STFC)• Agreed to form working group to draft an high-level international project
management plan.– Group is in the process of being formed, to be chaired by Joe Lykken– Goal is to have a first-draft by mid-September
Neutrino Summit Meeting• ~50 leading neutrino physicists invited by the Fermilab Director• Purpose was “to determine whether the world neutrino community can
come together and form a new collaboration to design and propose together a program that meets the P5 requirements.”
• Outcome is plan to form an interim international Executive Board (iiEB) and working groups on facility configuration, facility implementation, and the supporting program.

Steps toward formulation of LBNF
LBNE Collaboration Meeting• New groups admitted from the US and Russia• Collaboration statement developed by the Executive
Committee, includes*:The existing LBNE collaboration (518 members from 88 institutes in 8 countries) welcomes the recommendations of the P5 panel and recognizes the need to form a new international collaboration to turn this vision into reality. We are looking forward to engaging with all interested parties to realize the P5 vision, and in particular with the international neutrino community through the process initiated by Fermilab and the US DOE.

Steps toward formulation of LBNF
Interim International Executive Board• iiEB nominated by an ad hoc group of funding agencies and
labs, including: BNL, CERN, Fermilab, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, DOE, NSF
• Invitees to the iiEB drawn from LBNE, LBNO and people “at large”:7 from US; 9 from Europe; 5 from other countries
Plus representatives of “Stakeholders”:FNAL, CERN, India/DAE, Italy/INFN, UK/STFC, US/DOE, US/NSF
And ex officio:Co-chairs of Neutrino Summit, FNAL Dep. Director, LBNE Project Director
• Nominees are currently responding to the invitation.

Steps toward formulation of LBNF
Interim International Executive Board• First meeting of iiEB scheduled for 23-24 Sep at Fermilab, to discuss:
– scientific strategic issues defining the experiment, – forming a larger community,– determining the process going forward
• Working Groups to be formed and charged by iiEB.– Facility Configuration (physics)– Facility Implementation (engineering, cost and schedule)– Supporting Program
• Second iiEB meeting envisioned to be in mid-November• Goal is to submit LOI to Fermilab PAC by late November
followed by a full proposal / CDR by mid-2015.

PIP and PIP-II
26 Aug 2014J.Strait | American Neutrino Strategy
• PIP: Increase Booster beam repetition rate to 15 Hz– 700 kW to NOvA concurrent with 8 GeV program
• PIP-II: Increase Booster/Main Injector per pulse intensity by 50%; decrease MI cycle time modestly– Increase Booster injection
energy to ~800 MeV– Modest modifications to
Booster/Recycler/MI• To accommodate higher
intensities and higher Booster injection energy
22
Flexible Platform for the Future
• PIP-II Inherent Capability– ~200 kW @ 800 MeV– x10 Mu2e sensitivity
• Future upgrade would provide > 2 MW to LBNE
• Flexibility for future experiments– Muons, Kaons at 100’s kW

Conclusions
• P5 has given neutrino physics in the US a big boost• Fermilab and the neutrino community are mobilizing to
support the P5 vision– Forming a fully global collaboration to execute LBNF– Funding agencies starting to work together in support LBNF and
SBN– Vigorous effort to develop a coherent short-baseline program– Project X has been reconfigured to be PIP-II to support the
neutrino program.
