Study of Nuclei and Elementary Particles At Low and Intermediate Energies
- California Institute of Technology (CalTech), Pasadena, CA (United States); Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
The primary activity associated with this DOE grant was the construction, commissioning, operation, and analysis of results of the KamLAND experiment. KamLAND is a large (1kT) liquid scintillator neutrino detector located deep underground in the Kamioka mine in Japan. This effort was a spectacular scientific success, with a major discovery of neutrino oscillations in the solar sector and the pioneering measurement of geoneutrinos due to radioactive decay within the earth. During the final year of the grant period, effort was devoted to developing the new Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in China.
