CPAD Instrumentation Workshop

Arrangements:

Breaks – in open area adjacent to meeting rooms.

Lunches – in large room in University Center near meeting rooms – no need to go off campus (this

has worked well in the past for ATLAS, LCWS, ALCPG, CALICE and other conferences).

Parking – dedicated area, a short walk from meeting rooms.

Wireless available throughout all meetings rooms and campus wide – several alternative

connection options will be provided.

Students will be available to assist with directions, connections, general conference support.

Instrumentation Workshop Agenda - Zeroth DraftDay 1:Plenary Session:Instrumentation for Neutrino Physics

Physics Goals:•Measurement of CP violation•Mass hierarchy•Majorana neutrinos or not•Search for new flavors or sterile

•Technological advances to achieve physics goalsInstrumentation for Dark Matter Search

Physics Goals:•WIMP direct detection•Low-mass dark matter detection, e.g. axions

•Technological advances to achieve physics goalsInstrumentation for Exploiting the Study of the Higgs

Physics Goals:•Is the Higgs fundamental?•Measure couplings to know particles•Additional Higgs-like particles

Technical Goals:•High rate capability•Radiation hardness•Real-time data reduction•Particle/jet/parton identification•Trigger/event selection

Instrumentation for Elucidation of Dark Energy and InflationPhysics Goals:

•Physical interaction responsible for dark energy•Particles associated with dark energy physics

12/15/2014 CPAD Workshop at UTA 19

•Establishment of evidence for an inflationary periodTechnical Goals:•Instrumentation needed for large telescopic surveys•Instrumentation for ultra-precision CMB measurements

Transformational Detectors to Explore the UnknownPhysics Goals:•New particles•Physics inferred from rare processes

Discussion & Planning Parallel Sessions5 parallel sessions to address U.S. detector R&D to advance the above physicsQuestions:•What technology(ies) does U.S. lead in the subject•Is there a technology that the U.S. could realistically develop in a subject area•What is the program for research and development of a chosen technology that should presented to DOE to be funded through KA25•What are the resources that need to be retained or that need to be established to carry out the R&D program•What common elements with respect to detector technology exist with the other physics areas
