论文摘要
连贯实验使用的Oak Ridge国家实验室(ORNL)散布中子源(SNS)第一个目标站(FTS)提供了强烈且极高的脉冲阻止中微子的质量来源,其能量高达约50 MEV。计划对SNS进行升级,包括第二个目标站(STS),该目标站将使预期中微子通量大约翻一番,同时保持与FTS源相似的质量。此外,可能还可以提供十吨量表检测器的其他空间。我们在这里描述了使用FTS和STS中微子来源的中微子物理,其他粒子和核物理学以及检测器开发的激动人心的机会。
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) First Target Station (FTS), used by the COHERENT experiment, provides an intense and extremely high-quality source of pulsed stopped-pion neutrinos, with energies up to about 50 MeV. Upgrades to the SNS are planned, including a Second Target Station (STS), which will approximately double the expected neutrino flux while maintaining quality similar to the FTS source. Furthermore, additional space for ten-tonne scale detectors may be available. We describe here exciting opportunities for neutrino physics, other particle and nuclear physics, and detector development using the FTS and STS neutrino sources.
