  17. MiniBooNE update POT doubled with anti-ν beam 11.3e20 POT (end of run) 5.7e20 POT (last publication) POT delivered to MiniBooNE since last oscillation publication exceeded 'best case' projections...resulting in doubling of statistics with anti-neutrino beam

  18. MiniBooNE Detector/reconstruction very stable... as evidenced in the overall rate of neutrino candidates per POT (right), and high statistics samples used as constraints for the oscillation search (below) anti-νμ CCQE Sample NC π0 Sample Neutrino 2012, 6 Jun 2012

  19. Final results from MiniBooNE MiniBooNE observes an excess of νe candidates in the 200-1250 MeV energy range in neutrino mode (3.0σ) and in anti-neutrino mode (2.5σ). The combined excess is 240.3 ± 34.5 ± 52.6 events (3.8σ) The event excess is concentrated in the 200-475 MeV region where NC π0 and other processes leading to a single γ dominate Higher statistic anti-υ data is much more similar to the neutrino mode data It is not yet known whether the MiniBooNE excesses are due to oscillations, some unrecognized NC γbkg, or something else Contours below show allowed regions after a simultaneous fit to neutrino and anti-neutrino data over the full energy range. Best fit point preferred over null at 3.6σ. 6.5e20 POT neutrino mode 11.3e20 POT anti-neutrino mode Neutrino 2012, 6 Jun 2012

  20. MINOS Successful completion of 7 year low-energy beam phase. Total beam received 1.6 x 1021 POT • Recent target progress seems robust. A world leader in measurement of “atmospheric” oscillation parameters. • dm2 (best in world) • sin22q23 (possibly non-maximal) • 2sin2q23sin22q13 with long baseline High productivity • 48 papers • 67 Ph.D. theses

  21. Minos - Neutrino Velocity Recent events led to interest in this quantity – MINOS is independent long baseline check. Upgraded timing system built with collaboration with NIST and USNO Currently have used to reduce systematics on data taken before upgrade. About 8.5 times more than earlier result (2007). New system used to take data spring 2012. Error on this data will be small (2- 5 ns syst.) Beam structure – 1.6 ms batches Batch edge • Full spill approach • event time within spill in ND predicts FD distribution • Wrapped Spill approach • Measure event time within batch • Find batch gaptime in each detector -18 ± 11 (stat.) ± 29 (syst.) ns (early) -11 ± 11 (stat.) ± 29 (syst.) ns (early) All results consistent with c and with each other!

  22. MINOS Shutdown Plans Keep detectors on during shutdown to collect cosmics, maintain calibration minimize stresses and allow component tests. Upgrade computing • Control room – plan is to be ready for XOC when it comes. • Underground: mostly software Standard maintenance • FIlters, test electronics spares, etc. • Magnet power supply Near Detector DAQ upgrades (discussed in MINERvA)

  23. MINOS+ • Continued MINOS running in NOvA era • On-axis, medium energy beam gives large event rate • ~4000 muon neutrino CC events per year expected at FD • ~80 tau neutrino CC events • Difficult background but hope to accomplish discrimination • Sensitivity to a wide variety of non-standard interactions and model extensions.

  24. MINOS+ Readiness Collaboration Strength: 80 • 50 Faculty (expect 5 from Indian Consortium) • 19 Current and expected postdocs • 20 Current and expected students (6 from Indian Consortium) FNAL effort to recycle CDF processors for Near Detector. • Gives large spares pool of critical components for far detector. • Removes largest hardware cost. Timing system upgrade essentially complete. • Due to unusual world circumstances Issue: lab and agency support of key functions and individuals. • Examples are offline production, DAQ support, computing liaison. • Good start in PPD Intensity Frontier support, AD liaison, needs continuation • Continued (and an additional) laboratory postdoc support needed.

  25. MINERvA Significantly improve knowledge of neutrino-nucleus interactions between 0.5 and 20 GeV Exclusive final state reconstruction and corresponding cross sections→ Support worldwide neutrino oscillation program→ Probe nuclear effects on exclusive states With NOvA-era beam (“medium” energy) → Inclusive scattering measurements→ Nuclear PDFs Multiple nuclear targets→ C, Fe, Pb, He, water 89 Collaborators, 23 Institutions • 29 PhD Students, 4 Masters Students First physics pubs soon • First: Anti-neutrino Quasi-Elastic Cross Section • Next: Neutrino QE cross sections, Nuclear Target cross section ratios, and total inclusive charged current cross sections

  26. MINERvA– Detector Detector composed of 120 stacked modules of varying composition. Finely segmented (~32 K readout channels), side ECAL & HCAL well instrumented MINOS near detector acts as magnetic spectrometer

  27. MINERvA-Low Energy Run Collected about half total exposurein Low Energy Neutrino Mode Final tally: 3.98E20 in Low Energy n 1.74E20 in Low Energy anti-n 0.49E20 in Special Runs Livetimes: 97.2% MINERvA, 93.3% MINOS Near Detector (3/22/10 – end of run)

  28. MINERvA – NOvA Construction Prep • Cavern construction impact a concern • Low cost cover built and in place • Protects from falling debris and water • Smoke Detectors • Cameras • Dust monitors installed. • Top of detector (PMTs), MINERvA DAQ rack, North end of MINOS Hall, MINOS DAQ computers • Respirable dust - dust particles < 2.5 microns • Vibration Monitors

  29. MINERvA Shutdown Work Readout Speed • MINERvA DAQ spec’d for 2 sec MI cycle time, before NOvA planned to change MI cycle time to 1.3 seconds • Parallelizing data concentrator with bypass of VME bus should get to 1.3 sec with comfortable margin • Idea tested on bench successfully. Moving forward on schedule • MINOS DAQ Refurbishment: Reduce, reuse, recycle • Readout processors (RIO3’s) old and expensive, expertise gone • PVIC’s no longer available commercially • Using Motorolas recovered from CDF/D0 can solve both these problems • Much local expertise, much hardware, move to GB Ethernet instead of PVIC’s • DAQ Computers underground are ~8 years old • Have identified 3-year old computers from CDF that meet the requirements • Work in progress Would like to acquire additional spare photodectors • Replace MAPMT’s with SIPM’s on test beam module • Funding, FTE’s are issue Have an FWP for Deuterium target engineering • Fairly large effort – not clear there is funding or manpower available

  30. SciBooNE

  31. Booster Neutrino Beam SciBooNE Decay region MiniBooNE Detector 50 m 440 m 100 m SciBooNE • Data Taking completed Aug 18, 2008 • 60 authors, 17 institutions • 8 Ph.D.’s on this data • Detector Decommissioned • SciBar PMTs back to Japan, EC PMTs back to Italy • All PREP equipment returned • Scintillators now in Mexico as solar neutron detector • Pb modules, Fe plates remain in detector hall

  33. SeaQuest/E906 • Significant run was expected in 2011-2012, but beam was delayed by many months, primarily due to vacuum problems in the buried beam pipe that runs under the road near FCC. • Beam tuning started in early March 2012 • Proceeded quickly • Detector commissioning done in parallel • Spectrometer magnets energized 3/25/12 • Broken cooling towers threatened operation • Weather cooperated; magnet current had to be reduced only once before shutdown • Uneven spill structure • High occupancy buckets caused problems for dimuon triggers • Some DAQ mods in final weeks helped understand problem and get some dimuon data for analysis

  34. SeaQuest/E906 - Shutdown Plans • Not enough data collected for Drell Yan physics • Data Analysis • Expect results on nuclear dependence of J/Psi production • Build two new (larger) wire chambers. • Develop new TDC microcode to allow higher trigger rate. • Build high dynamic range beam intensity monitor sensitive to individual rf buckets to provide splat block and measure beam delivered during spectrometer live time. • Replace phototube bases in the highest rate parts of the detector.

  35. Test Beam • Flexible Beams • 120 Gev Protons • 2 - 66 GeVPions • 0.5 – 32 GeV Electrons • Broadband Muons Detector R&D resource for many groups Extensive facility infrastructure & instrumentation • Most components re-purposed from other experiments/beamlines In 2012: 11 experiments, 229 collaborators, 64 institutions, 14 countries

  36. Test Beam - Weekly Usage • FY2012 only consisted of 7 months of beam • Facility use includes Beam studies, and educational support such as EDIT 2012.

  37. Test Beam – Shutdown work Minor Renovations to increase User ease • New tracking system & read out • Upgraded pixel telescope • Expanded/Upgraded patch panel system • Increase facility cooling capacity for SiPM’s Expecting MCenter addition • support large & long potential experiments such as • NOvA Calibration • Liquid Argon Detector Beam Test • MINERvA upgrade calibration test • Dedicated lower energy beamline(200 MeV – 32 GevPions)

  38. Summary • The Accelerator based experiments ran well in collecting data up to the beginning of the long shutdown • Tevatron experiments • Collected Data at average efficiency to end of running • Spares were low in many systems at end • Publishing at a high rate, and will complete legacy measurements • Neutrino experiments collected large data samples • Nova cavern construction impact mitigated • SeaQuest is in good shape to start physics program after the shutdown • Test Beam continues to operate well and be highly utilized Lindgren – Fermilab Aspen PAC, June 19-23, 2012 38
