Outline

• Mission need• LBNE scope• Organization• Summary cost and schedule• Near term procurements• Summary


Mission Need

• The LBNE Project is being planned in response to the Mission Need put forward by the DOE Office of High Energy Physics.

• CD-0 was approved by the DOE Deputy Secretary on January 8, 2010.


The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment

The LBNE Science Collaboration plans a comprehensive experiment to fully characterize neutrino oscillation phenomenology using• A high-intensity, broad-band neutrino beam• A sophisticated near detector• A 1300 km baseline• An advanced liquid argon time projection chamber far detector

The goals of this program are:• Determining leptonic CP violation and neutrino mass ordering

The recent discoveries confirm that this a scientifically well motivated, comprehensive, and stunningly beautiful program.

• Underground physics, including the exploration of proton decay and supernova neutrinos.


A Phased Program

The U.S. Department of Energy has stated their intention to carry out this program in a phased manner.• The LBNE Project is the first phase

– focuses on accelerator neutrino oscillation physics– includes the beam and a 10 kt fiducial mass liquid argon

TPC at the surface, 1300 km from Fermilab

• Subsequent phases are planned to include:– A highly capable near neutrino detector– A larger far detector, placed deep underground– Higher beam power that will be enabled by Project X

Additional national or international collaborators could increase the scope of the first phase of LBNE or accelerate the implementation of subsequent phases.

Directed towards a distant detector at theSanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD

Procurement Strategies – Far Detector

Major FD engineering/fabrication/construction is planned:• Far Detector cryostat: contract with a construction management company

under a design-build contract, who will subcontract with one of the two cryostat vendors and coordinate the construction. Expect to award design contract in late FY13, full design-build contract in FY16.

• Far Detector cryogenic systems: traditional design-build contracts with several sub-components >FY16• Refrigeration plant/LN2 re-liquefier • Liquid argon storage and liquid nitrogen storage vessels and receiving

area• Re-condensers for the cryostats• Purification system vessels and components• LBNE has the responsibility for the interconnections and the integration

coordination.• Time Projection Chamber (TPC): >FY16

• Major components such as stainless steel frames will be commercially produced in fabrication shops.

• Components such as wire and FR4 components are commercially available.

• Assembly and testing will be done by labs & universities.


Procurement Strategies – Conventional Facilities

• CF Near Site (Fermilab)– Existing large A/E master contracts are already in place at

Fermilab - Burns & McDonnell, HDR, AECOM - selection of one of these A/E’s for design is underway

– Similarly with pre-construction CMs: Jacobs, Parsons, PMA/Patrick

– FY13: Geotechnical site investigation & test embankment– FY14-16: CF NS design– FY15: Award construction contract for embankment

• CF Far Site (SURF)– All design and construction work will be executed through

contracts with SURF– SURF will do best value selection for Excavation, Infrastructure,

and pre-construction CM consultants in FY13.– FY13: Geotechnical site investigation– FY14-15: Design for CF FS


Conclusions

• The LBNE Project will enable a world-leading program that will address profound questions about nature.

• It will deliver– An intense neutrino beam– A near site detector system to characterize the n beam– A 10 kton LAr TPC detector 1300 km from the n source

• The Project anticipates CD-1 approval in 2012.• Cryo engineering and CF A/E contracts for design will be

initiated with CD-1 approval.• Major construction and fabrication will begin in 2017.

1300 km is an Optimal Baseline

Alternatives AnalysisFirst Pass: Full LBNE

LBNE has explored a wide range of “big picture” alternatives, including:• The experimental baseline• The location of the proton source: FNAL vs. BNL• Neutrino beamline configuration: deep or shallow;

Main Injector extraction points MI-10 vs. MI-60• The far detector location: Homestake vs. alternates• The far detector technical configuration: Liquid Argon vs.

Water Cherenkov; detector depth • Near Detector technology: scintillator tracker, straw-tube

tracker, LAr TPC; with or without magnetic field

28

=> 1000 km < L < 1500 km

=> 4850 feet


Alternatives AnalysisSecond Pass: Phase 1 of LBNE Program

The 1st pass yielded the configuration of the “full” LBNE, whose cost could not be accommodated by the DOE in a single project=> Reopen the alternatives analysis

Process led by Fermilab-Directorate-Appointed Steering Committee: www.fnal.gov/directorate/lbne_reconfiguration/

Alternatives considered:• Lower cost alternatives that could achieve some of the scientific

goals, with a shorter baseline using the existing NuMI beam.• Phased program that could achieve all the scientific goals in

phases over time, with possible first phase options including:– Large detector underground at SURF, beam to be built later– Beam and near detector, far detector to be built later– Beam and small far detector on the surface at SURF, near

detector and full-size underground far detector to be built later


Beam and small far detector on the surface at SURF, near detector and full-size underground far detector to be built later
