Letter of Intent to build an Off-axis Detector to study $$\nu_{\mu} → \nu _e$$ oscillations with NuMI Neutrino Beam
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States); et al.
This is an updated version of the NOvA proposal. The detector is a 30 kiloton tracking calorimeter, 15.7 m by 15.7 m by 132 m long, with alternating horizontal and vertical rectangular cells of liquid scintillator contained in PVC extrusion modules. Light from each 15.7 m long cell of liquid scintillator filled PVC is collected by a wavelength shifting fiber and routed to an avalanche photodiode pixel. The reach of NOvA for $$sin^22\theta_{13}$$ and related topics is increased relative to earlier versions of the proposal with the assumption of increased protons available from the Fermilab Main Injector following the end of Tevatron Collider operations in 2009.
