Brookhaven LBNE Team
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment will use the expertise of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s existing accelerator complex to supply its neutrinos. Fermilab’s Main Injector Ring will smash energetic protons into a fixed target—this collision produces short-lived and exotic particles called pions and kaons. These particles then pass through a “decay pipe,” transforming into an intense beam composed of densely packed neutrinos.
Brookhaven Lab is strongly engaged in the planning, design, and future operation of LBNE, from fundamental neutrino science to detector construction. Brookhaven staff occupy major leadership roles in the overall collaboration, including co-spokesperson, project scientist, and chief engineer. Brookhaven is also leading the work on LBNE’s large liquid argon detector—including project controls, the time projection chamber, and the cold electronics.
