The technology has reached its fully ma ture level and a first underground experiment with some 600 tons of sensit ive mass\, the ICARUS T600 detector is now in its final phase of installa tion underground at the LNGS. First of its kind\, it will become fully ope rational during 2009 and initiate the first full scale underground physics experiment based on LAr-Imaging technology (CNGS-2). It will also realist ically open the way to future more massive detectors for accelerator and w ithout accelerator driven phenomena (see for instance MODULAr) .\nThe pres ent LOI describes another very important physics domain in which the LAr I maging should be extended with a detector of the approximate size of the T 600 (about 200x the volume of Gargamelle\, but comparable resolutions) ass ociated with availability of a low energy neutrino beam (with L/E ~ 0.5 Km /GeV) within the CERN premises and reactivating the traditional PS driven neutrino beam. This project will benefit of the already developed and well tested technology of ICARUS T600\, without the need of any major R&D acti vity. The PS beam is the one originally used by the BEBC-PS180 at 19.2 GeV /c\, extracted from the PS via the transfer tunnels TT2\, TT1 and TT7. The magnetic horn is designed to focus particles of momentum around 2 GeV/c. The decay tunnel is about 50 m long\, followed by an iron beam stopper. Th e main location (far position) is at about 850 m from the target in the ex isting BEBC hall.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribI d=24&sessionId=3&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=3& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A new\, very massive modular Liquid Argon Imaging Chamber to detec t low energy off-axis neutrinos from the CNGS beam.

It is the result of about two de cades of unique R&D developments in which the ICARUS team has had a domina nt role.\nOur next step\, called MODULAr has been amply described in two p ublished papers\, one scientific\, the other technical to which we refer f or details. MODULAr is based on the present neutrino beam from CERN to LN GS\, but with a new LAr detector with about a 20 kton fiducial mass\, loca ted off-axis from the neutrino beam.

On the one hand experimen ts at the highest possible energies are searching for the origin of electr oweak breaking and direct evidence of New Physics (NP)\; a second line of attack aims to study the properties of neutrinos\, both of accelerator and cosmic origin\, and of other astro-particle messengers. The third strateg y is to explore the precision frontier looking for deviations from the Sta ndard Model (SM) predictions in rare or forbidden processes. In this latte r case\, the sensitivity to NP originates from the virtual contributions t hat can involve all discovered and not yet discovered particles in higher order quantum loops and therefore can address\, indirectly\, energy scales even beyond those accessible at colliders. Some of the most interesting r are decays are those Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) that can be predicted with small hadronic uncertainties in the SM. There are only very few observables where there is both sensitivity to NP and a well calculab le expectation within the SM. A very prominent example is given by the K --> pi nu nubar decays and it is on precisely this subject that the CERN k aon physics strategy has been developed. The NA62 experiments plans to add ress first the charged kaon decay by exploiting the current performance of the SPS. Possible future studies of the neutral kaon ultra-rare decays co uld be envisaged in the framework of an upgraded proton accelerator comple x.\n \n The CERN proton complex is unique. The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) will remain in operation for the foreseeable future as LHC injector. This injection task should occupy only a few hours per day\, leaving the SPS available to feed primary protons to fixed target experiments for most of the time. \n \n We shall present the physics sensitivity of the CE RN-NA62 experiment to study ultra-rare decays at the CERN-SPS and its pres ent status. In addition to the very rare decays\, the proposal offers a ri ch physics programme ranging from precision tests of lepton universality t o the study of strong interactions at low energy. An outlook will be prese nted for possibilities in the upgraded accelerator complex.\n\nhttp://indi co.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=8&sessionId=3&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=8&sessionId=3&c onfId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SPL DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T124500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T130500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-120@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GAROBY\, Roland (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contri butionDisplay.py?contribId=120&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=120&sessionId=1 0&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PS2 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T122500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T124500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-121@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BENEDIKT\, Michael (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con tributionDisplay.py?contribId=121&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=121&sessionId=1 0&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SPS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T130500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T131500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-122@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SHAPOSHNIKOVA\, Elena (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/ contributionDisplay.py?contribId=122&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=122&sessionId=1 0&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Future possible fixed target program from new injectors DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T131500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T133500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-123@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: EFTHYMIOPOULOS\, Ilias (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch /contributionDisplay.py?contribId=123&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=123&sessionId=1 0&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SPL: a driver for EURISOL?

The first step is to produce the Hbar + ion\, which can be manipulated and cooled down to µK temperatures (i.e. m/s velocities) according to Walz and Hänsch [2]. The excess positron ca n then be laser detached in order to recover the neutral and slow Hbar ato m. Production involves a dense target made of positronium through the char ge exchange process pbar + Ps → Hbar + e-\, followed by Hbar + Ps → Hb ar+ + e-. The antiprotons must be accumulated from the AD into a Penning trap such as developed in the ASACUSA collaboration. The high number of an tiprotons needed would also benefit from an increased flux at low energies such as envisaged in the ELENA project. The positronium target is obtaine d by dumping 10**10 to 10**11 positrons\, also from a Penning trap\, onto a material that converts them into Ps. We have fabricated nanoporous SiO2 layers and measured their high efficiency to produce slow Ps [3].\nAn int ense positron source is necessary to produce the required Ps density. We a re developing a positron source based on a small electron linac\, which is presently being commissioned at Saclay. Such a source could be placed in the AD hall and should produce of the order of 10**8 slow e+ per second. D istribution of these slow positrons to other experiments could be consider ed.\n\n[1] A new path to measure antimatter free fall\, P. Pérez et al.

Among others\ , such a configuration space is realised in the mass region near Z=88 (2f7 /2\; 1i13/2) and N=136 (2g9/2\; 1j15/2)\, where 220\,222Rn and 222\,224Ra are situated. Especially\, 224Ra is predicted in various models to be the most octupole soft nuclei. In some models even a static octupole deformati on is predicted for this particular nucleus. The octupole softness/deforma tion is reflected in the low-lying level schemes of these nuclei\, which w ere established in multi-nucleon transfer reactions [2\,3]. Hereby\, extre mely low excitation energies for the octupole excitations (224Ra: E(3−)= 290.4 keV) as well as the characteristic odd-even parity staggering for th e Yrast states for levels with spin > 5 were observed. However\, so far\, no experimental information for the B(E3\,0+ -> 3−) strength\, directly related to the degree of octupole deformation beta_3\, is available. Recen t Coulomb excitation experiments on neutron-deficient Hg isotopes [4] demo nstrated the unique capabilities of the ISOLDE facility to produce heavy n uclei in a sufficient amount and post-accelerate them using the REX Linac. Thus for the first time spectroscopic information about the crucial E3 tr ansition strength\, exploiting the well-established Coulomb excitation tec hnique\, can be obtained.\n\nBeyond the scope of nuclear structure this ex periment is a first step towards the search for CP-violating effects inher ent in the nuclear force. In octupole deformed odd-mass isotopes the pear- shaped octupole deformation of the intrinsic mean field results in close-l ying parity doublets of particle-core coupled states [5]. In presence of p arity violating forces the opposite parity partner will mix and the induce d Schiff moment in the body-fixed frame is enhanced proportional to the oc tupole deformation. This makes the odd-mass Ra isotopes to a more favorabl e experimental laboratory for the search for flavorless CP-violation\, tha n the classical case 199Hg [6].\n\n[1] P. A. Butler and W.

It has long also distinguish ed itself by pursuing fundamental particle physics at lower energy scales when the laboratory possesses the unique capability to do so. CERN introd uced the world's lowest energy antiprotons at 5 MeV. Experimenters at LEA R and then the AD introduced particle traps to lower the energy by up to a n additional ten orders of magnitude in energy\, making it possible to com pare q/m for the antiproton and proton at the 9 parts in 10^{10} level. N ow\, antihydrogen is being formed by two different methods at the AD. The expectation is that antihydrogen spectroscopy will provide comparisons of antihydrogen and hydrogen at much higher precisions. The lowest-ever (1. 2 K) electron and positron temperatures recently realized bode well for ma king colder antihydrogen atoms\,. These are needed to realize the goal of trapping antihydrogen atoms in magnetic traps that have been demonstrated at the AD. The future is challenging and exciting. The long term goal\, for which the AD was constructed\, is extremely accurate laser spectrosco py of antihydrogen atoms. Steady progress continues on the needed laser systems needed for cooling and spectroscopy\, and a second generation of m agnetic trap is under construction. Even lower plasma temperatures seem p ossible. On the side\, it seems feasible to use a single antiproton to me asure the antiproton magnetic moment a million times more accurately. An upgraded AD\, able to deliver many more antiprotons at lower energies to traps\, would speed the progress.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDis play.py?contribId=80&sessionId=13&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=80&sessionId=13 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Opportunities for European neutrino oscillation physics building o n the T2K experience DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T125000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T130000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-81@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: RUBBIA\, Andre (ETH Zurich)\nThe current focus of th e CERN program is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, however\, CERN is enga ged in long baseline neutrino physics with the CNGS project and supports T 2K as recognized CERN RE13\, and for good reasons: a number of observed ph enomena in high-energy physics and cosmology lack their resolution within the Standard Model of particle physics\; these puzzles include the origin of neutrino masses\, CP-violation in the leptonic sector\, and baryon asym metry of the Universe. They will only partially be addressed at LHC.\nT2K is optimized for searching for electron appearance with a sensitivity sin^ 2(2theta_{13}) 0.01 in T2K would certainly give a tremendous boost to neut rino physics by opening the possibility to search for\, and study\, CP vio lation in the lepton sector and the determination of the neutrino mass hie rarchy with upgraded conventional super-beams. These experiments (so calle d « Phase II ») require\, in addition to an upgraded beam power\, next g eneration very massive neutrino detectors with excellent energy resolution and high detection efficiency in a wide neutrino energy range\, to cover 1st and 2nd oscillation maxima to help lift the degeneracy among the param eters governing neutrino oscillations\, and excellent particle identificat ion and pi0 background suppression.\nTwo generations of large water Cheren kov detectors at Kamioka (Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande) have been extre mely successful. And there are good reasons to consider a third generation water Cherenkov detector with an order of magnitude larger mass than Supe r-Kamiokande for both non-accelerator (proton decay\, supernovae\, ...) an d accelerator-based physics.\nIn parallel\, the pioneering developments of the ICARUS liquid Argon TPC with immersed readout wires\, already the fru it of several decades of R&D\, has not been able\, although offering bette r physics performance\, to deliver detectors competitive with Super-Kamiok ande\, nor envisage an ultimate detector challenging the planned third gen eration water Cerenkov detectors. Only a very massive underground liquid A rgon detector of about 100 kton could represent a credible alternative for the precision measurements of « Phase-II » and aim at significantly new results in neutrino astroparticle and non-accelerator-based particle phys ics (e.g. proton decay).\nThe new concept « GLACIER »\, scalable to a si ngle detector unit of mass 100 kton\, was proposed in 2003: it relies on a cryogenic storage tank developed by the petrochemical industry (LNG techn ology) and on a novel method of operation called the LAr LEM-TPC. LAr LEM- TPCs operate in double phase with charge extraction and amplification in t he vapor phase. The concept has been very successfully demonstrated on sma ll prototypes: ionization electrons\, after drifting in the LAr volume\, a re extracted by a set of grids into the gas phase and driven into the hole s of a double stage Large Electron Multiplier (LEM)\, where charge amplifi cation occurs. Each LEM is a thick macroscopic hole multiplier\, which can be manufactured with standard PCB techniques. The electrons signal is rea dout via two orthogonal coordinates\, one using the induced signal on the segmented upper electrode of the LEM itself and the other by collecting th e electrons on a segmented anode. The images obtained with the LAr LEM-TPC are of very high -- « bubble-chamber-like » -- quality\, owing to the c harge amplification in the LEM and have good measured dE/dx resolution. Co mpared to LAr TPCs with immersed wires\, whose scaling is at least limited by mechanical and capacitance issues of the long thin wires and by signal attenuation along the drift direction\, the LAr LEM-TPC is an elegant sol ution for very large liquid Argon TPCs with long drift paths and mm-sized readout pitch segmentation. \nA ton-scale LAr LEM-TPC detector is being op erated at CERN in Blg 182 within the CERN RE18 experiment (ArDM). The prop osed next step beyond that is the construction of device dedicated for the precise calibration\, the study of the calorimetric response and for the particle recognition capability of such detectors. The proposed test beam will be located in the CERN North Area (see ePiLAr in test beam submission ).\nThe current CNGS optimization provides limited sensitivity to sin^2(2t heta_{13})\, CP-violation in the leptonic sector and mass hierarchy determ ination. Ideas to improve the sin^2(2theta_{13}) sensitivity at the CNGS h ave already been discussed in JHEP 0209 (2002) 004. More recently\, the ph ysics potential of an intensity upgraded and energy re-optimized CNGS neut rino beam coupled to a 100 kton liquid Argon TPC located at an appropriate ly chosen off-axis position was published in JHEP 0611\, 032 (2006). The d iscussion relied on the observation that whereas J-PARC provides a rapid c ycle with high intensity proton bunches at approx. 40 GeV/c\, the CERN pro ton complex has fewer protons and a slower cycle but can accelerate to 400 GeV/c. Hence\, the SPS higher energy can – on paper – compensate for the lower proton intensity. In addition\, the intensity in SPS could profi t from future upgrades of the LHC injection chain. In practice\, calculati ons show that the sin^2(2theta_{13}) reach and the searches for CP-violati on and mass hierarchy are competitive with future options at J-PARC if the CNGS beam intensity can be increased compared to its design value 4.5x10^ {19} pot/yr by a factor x3-x10.\nYet CNGS intensity limitations do not onl y come from the performance of the accelerator complex. An upgraded CNGS - - competitive with JPARC -- will require a re-classification and/or partia l reconstruction of the neutrino beam-line infrastructure\, raising questi ons of feasibility\, timescale and costs.\nIn the context of the EC FP7 de sign study LAGUNA\, the possibility to rely on an alternative source of me dium-energy high-intensity protons from CERN (e.g. from a newly built PS) is under discussion. The LAGUNA community is studying the feasibility of a new large underground infrastructure in Europe able to host next generati on neutrino physics and astro-particle physics and proton decay experiment s. Seven sites are presently being considered. Given the intensity limitat ion of the CNGS design\, the option of a completely new high-intensity neu trino beam line from CERN towards one of the LAGUNA sites should be left o pen. \nFor the longer term and in absence of a positive result from T2K\, large underground detectors in the LAGUNA sites could be operated as well in connection with other\, more advanced neutrino beams like for instance beta-beams or neutrino factories. Such beams are currently being studied w ithin the FP7 design study EuroNU.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDi splay.py?contribId=81&sessionId=3&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=81&sessionId=3& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LINAC4 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T121500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T122500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-119@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: VRETENAR\, Maurizio (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/co ntributionDisplay.py?contribId=119&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=119&sessionId=1 0&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Introduction DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T072500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T073000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-118@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: MANGANO\, Michelangelo (CERN)\nhttp://indico.cern.ch /contributionDisplay.py?contribId=118&sessionId=11&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=118&sessionId=1 1&confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:High-precision studies on pure species using Penning traps DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T121500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T122000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-85@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: KOWALSKA\, Magdalena (CERN)\nIn recent years\, atomi c physics techniques have provided major input in answering fundamentally important questions not only in atomic\, but also in nuclear physics and a strophysics\, for example concerning the structure of nuclides\, the stell ar processes powering the universe\, and the processes responsible for hea vy-element formation. \nPenning traps lead the way in such applications\, as proved by the pioneering ISOLTRAP setup located at ISOLDE and devoted t o high-precision mass measurements by cyclotron frequency determination. B ecause of many advantages of a three-dimensional ion confinement in well c ontrolled fields the traps are currently used in many other online applica tions\, from beam cooling and bunching (e.g. REXTRAP at ISOLDE) to studies of beta-neutrino correlations for weak-interaction studies (e.g. WITCH at ISOLDE). In addition\, due to its high-resolving power the Penning-trap m ass spectrometers have recently found a novel application\, that of isobar ic and isomeric beam purification for decay-spectroscopy studies. \nCurren tly\, Penning traps allow reaching mass uncertainty better than 10-8 (e.g. Mg-22)\, a resolving power approaching 10 million (Hg isotopes)\, for sin gly or maximum doubly ionized species with production rates as low as 1 io n/s (No-252) and half-lives down to 10 ms (Li-11). However\, these impress ive performances in precision\, resolving power\, sensitivity and applicab ility could not be achieved simultaneously for one specific species. \nThi s contribution aims at pushing the present limits of online mass spectrome try even further\, thus allowing studies of nuclides and physics questions inaccessible before. One of the planned developments is closely connected to the HIE-ISOLDE project\, and is devoted to production and the use of h ighly-charge ions at ISOLTRAP. Since highly charged ions have higher cyclo tron frequencies the resolving power and the precision are increased\; or vice versa\, a high-precision mass measurement can be performed in a much shorter time compared to the case of singly charged ions. This development will allow accessing very neutron-rich nuclides relevant for the nucleosy nthesis rapid neutron capture (r process) which have too short half-lives to be studied efficiently with the required relative precision below 10-7 (especially those in transitional regions\, e.g. around Te-140 at N=88). A lso\, new ways of checking the unitarity of the CKM quark mixing matrix wi ll be possible by deriving with high-precision the Ft values of the T = 1/ 2 mirror beta transitions\, which allow determining the Vud matrix element . For this application\, the masses of a dozen of nuclides\, e.g. O-15\, N a-21\, Mg-23\, Ca-39\, have to be known with the relative precision better than 10-8. When coupled to the newly developed decay-spectroscopy station at ISOLTRAP\, also their half-lives and branching ratios (necessary to ob tain precise Ft-values) will be accessible with no systematic uncertaintie s due to beam contamination.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay. py?contribId=85&sessionId=14&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=85&sessionId=14 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A new technique for charting the reordering of quantum states in e xotic nuclei DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T122500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T123000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-7@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: FLANAGAN\, Kieran (IPN-Orsay)\nRecent and forth comi ng improvements to ISOLDE as part of the HIE-ISOLDE project will open up n ew regions of the nuclear chart previously inaccessible to the nuclear com munity. While this work aims at increasing the intensity of the produced b eams\, the yields of the most exotic rare isotopes will still remain at th e periphery of experimental scope. In order to uncover new physics in thes e exotic systems\, new techniques must be developed to which will provide higher sensitivity and better background suppression. A new innovation in laser spectroscopy\, which combines the high resolution and sensitivity of two well established techniques (Collinear laser spectroscopy and resonan t ionization spectroscopy) has demonstrated an improvement in detection ef ficiency by more than three orders of magnitude. Through studying the hype rfine structure with laser spectroscopy it is possible to extract the nucl ear observables\, such as the spin and electromagnetic moments\, without i ntroducing model dependence. Such measurements therefore allow the evoluti on of nuclear quantum states to be unambiguously studied far from stabilit y. This technique also offers the ability to suppress isobaric contaminati on by more than 6 orders of magnitude\, facilitating the production of ext remely clean ion beams for decay spectroscopy.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/co ntributionDisplay.py?contribId=7&sessionId=14&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium

invariance)\, 2) atomic an d nuclear cross section measurements at very low energies using the RFQD ( ~100 keV) and the MUSASHI ultra low energy (~100 eV) beamline\, and 3) a m easurement of the antihydrogen ground-state hyperfine splitting using an a nti-Helmholtz (cusp) trap and/or a super-conducting radio-frequency trap. Of these\, the laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium (in which we aim at an improvement of a factor >>10 over the current precision) and the ant ihydrogen ground-state hyperfine splitting measurements (under development ) will both require about 10 weeks of beamtime for the next 5-10 years in order to reach their design precision goals.\n\nWe expect to complete the “kinematically complete” collision experiments within the next 5-6 yea rs by adding an electrostatic antiproton recycler downstream of the MUSAS HI beam line (CERN-SPSC-2009-005 /SR-040).\n\nIf the ELENA ring is constru cted\, both antiprotonic helium and antihydrogen spectroscopy will benefit from the increased beam intensity and brightness. In addition\, the slow extraction of antiprotons from MUSASHI should also increase with ELENA (by about a factor 5 relative to the RFQD plus possibly another factor of 2 d ue to beam stability)\, which may make it possible to perform antiprotonic x-ray experiments [1] and other nuclear physics experiments [2] which hav e hitherto been impossible with the fast extracted antiprotons at the AD.\ n\n[1] Gotta et al.\, in the abstract book.\n[2] Zmeskal et al.\, in the a bstract book.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=38 &sessionId=13&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=38&sessionId=13 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Measurement of magnetic moments of charmed baryons using an extrac ted beam at LHC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T082000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T083000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-37@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: PAUL\, Stephan (Physik Department - Technische Unive rsitaet Muenchen)\nHigh energy external beams at LHC offer unique opportun ities for specialized experiments.

At SPS energies the normal nucleus suppre ssion of J/ψ in proton-nucleus collisions and anomalous suppression in ce ntral lead-lead collisions was observed in NA50 experiment. The anomalous suppression for central indium-indium events at SPS was confirmed by NA60 experiment. PHENIX experiment at RHIC shows that the J/ψ suppression in Au-Au and Cu-Cu collisions at 200 GeV in nucleon-nucleon centre of mass s ystem is of the same order as the suppression at SPS energies. There is no theoretical models now that could reproduce all the data. Future experime nts at much higher energies at ALICE\, LHC could produce the charmonium an d bottomonium families and possible suppression pattern can be studied. Ho wever an energy interval between SPS\, RHIC and LHC is very important to study the mechanism of quarkonium production and suppression\, to investig ate medium effects and conditions for Quark Gluon Plasma formation.\n We suggest to plan at LHC fixed target experiment for charmonium product ion at the energy range between SPS and RHIC in p-A and A-A collisions with planning proton beam at T=7 TeV (sqr s = 114.6 GeV) and Pb beam a t 2.75 TeV (sqr s = 71.8 GeV). This is unique possibility to clarify the m echanism of charmonium\, J/ψ and ψ' production\, to separate two possibi lities: i): hard production and suppression in QGP and/or hadronic dissoc iation or ii): hard production and secondary statistical production with recombination\, since the probability of recombination decreases with decreasing energy of collision in thermal model.\n As it was alrea dy used for the experiment on a collider with a fixed target at HERA-B\, t he target in the form of thin ribbon could be placed around the main orbit of LHC. The life time of the beam is determined by the beam-beam and beam -gas interactions. Therefore after some time the particles will leave the main orbit and will interact with target ribbon. So for the fixed target e xperiment at LHC only halo of the beam will be used. Hence no deterioratio n of the main beam will be introduced. The experiments at different inter action points will not feel any presence of the fixed target.\n The geometrical acceptances for the J/ψ production\, luminosity and counting rate estimations for measurement at LHC with the fixed target are calcula ted and discussed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contrib Id=35&sessionId=11&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=35&sessionId=11 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Future opportunities for emission channeling lattice location expe riments using position-sensitive detectors and radioisotopes produced at H IE-ISOLDE DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T123500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T124000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-63@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: WAHL\, Ulrich (ITN\, Lisbon)\, CORREIA\, João Guilh erme (ITN\, Lisbon)\nEmission channeling is a sensitive technique to measu re the lattice location of radioactive impurities embedded in single cryst als. It is based on the fact that charged particles from nuclear decay (al pha\, beta-\, beta+\, conversion electrons\, Auger electrons) experience c hanneling or blocking effects along major crystallographic axes and planes . The resulting anisotropic emission yield from the crystal surface charac terizes the lattice site occupied by the probe atoms during decay and is m easured using position-sensitive detectors. In particular we use \n- Si pa d detectors (developed at CERN for the Compton camera project) and Si pixe l detectors (under consideration are MediPix\, TimePix) for the detection of electrons in the energy range > 40 keV up to several MeV (beta-\, beta+ \, conversion electrons)\;\n- Charged Coupled Devices (CCDs) for the detec tion of very low-energy conversion electrons ( 1 MeV.\nThe main applicatio n of emission channeling is the lattice location of electrical\, optical a nd magnetic dopants in semiconductors and oxides\, e.g. electrical dopants in novel wide-band gap semiconductors such as ZnO\, AlN\, InN and diamond \, transition metals and rare earths as magnetic impurities in spintronic materials\, and rare earths as optical dopants in nitride semiconductors.\ nIn order to suppress dechanneling\, the radioisotopes used for emission c hanneling experiments must be incorporated at a depth smaller than a few t housand Å below the surface of the sample\, which is usually accomplished by means of low-energy ion implantation. The technique hence relies on th e availability of a wide range of pure beams of radioisotopes at relativel y high intensities (> 10E6 ions/s) but low energies (\n\nhttp://indico.cer n.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=63&sessionId=14&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=63&sessionId=14 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Polarized beams at HIE-ISOLDE – from dreams to reality.

Therefore obtaining a n ion beam of few MeV/u of nuclei with polarized spins is a dream for many physicists. Polarized beams are a must for nuclear moment measurements an d for studies of analyzing powers\, which provide unique nuclear structure information that cannot be obtained by other means.\n\nThere are several ways of obtaining an ensemble of nuclei with polarized spins. Among them o ne can mention the use of laser beams\, reaction-induced polarization and by the application of the Tilted Foils (TF) technique. The Tilted Foils is one of the most appealing since it imposes the least requirements and is the easiest to use.\n\nIn the TF method [1] the polarization is obtained f or the atomic electrons via surface interaction of ions traversing a multi foil stack at an oblique angle. The atomic polarization thus produced is s ubsequently transferred to the nuclear spins. There are examples for the u se of post-accelerated TF-polarized ions for Coulomb excitation studies [2 ] using stable isotopes. These experiments have been done using a LINAC ve ry similar to the one of REX. REX-ISOLDE provides the first opportunity fo r post-acceleration of polarized radioactive beams.\n\nOne of the key issu es that needs deeper investigation before the TF-polarized beams can be ro utinely delivered by REX-ISOLDE is the velocity dependence of the polariza tion obtained. This will be done by the use of a beta-NMR setup\, recently provided to ISOLDE by HMI\, Berlin.\n\n\n[1] L. Baby et al.\, J. Phys. G 30\, 519 (2004)\; and references therein.\n[2] J.

Severijns\nfor the CERN\, Leuven\, Aarhus\, Chalmers\, GSI-Darmstadt\, Münster\, Valencia\, Bratislava2 collaboration.]\n\n\nRecently the studi es on highly charged ions with ion storage rings [1] were extended to nucl ear electron capture decays of hydrogenlike ions [2]. Careful experiments performed with only a few ions present in the storage ring at any given ti me have turned out to give a clear non-exponential distribution of the dec ay times [3]. There is as yet no consensus on the interpretation of this s urprising finding\, some theory papers have argued that this is a signatur e of neutrino-flavour mixing [4]\, whereas others have contested this sugg estion [5]. To resolve this question more experimental data are needed. At present the non-exponential decay\, an oscillation with period about 7 se conds on top of an exponential decay\, has been observed for hydrogenlike 140Pr and 142Pm ions at the 99% confidence level [3]. \n\nWe are currently exploring the possibility of testing for the effect in very different exp erimental circumstances\, at ISOLDE. The electron capture decaying nuclei would be produced as usual in the ISOLDE targets\, bunched in ISCOOL and/o r REXTRAP\, transferred to REXEBIS where they will be charge bred and fina lly let to an ion trap where the decay will be monitored. We propose to us e the WITCH apparatus for the decay. \n\nWith the WITCH spectrometer at IS OLDE\, a worldwide unique combination of a Penning ion trap and a retardat ion spectrometer\, the energy spectrum of the recoil ions is measured. The mono-energetic recoils from EC decays will show up as a peak that is\, in the mass region we will focus on at ISOLDE (i.e. between about A = 20 and A = 40)\, typically about 80 eV more energetic than the endpoint energy o f the recoils from beta+ decays. With the about 1% energy resolution of th e spectrometer\, these energies will be clearly separable. A random and fl at beta particle background will be present under the recoil energy spectr um\, the amplitude of which can be determined in the energy region above t he EC recoil peak. If the oscillation period scales inversely with the mas s of the decaying isotope (as suggested in [3]) it may turn out to be clos er to one second for the lighter isotopes. Suitable candidates should ther efore have half-lives in the range of one second to one minute. Combining this with the production yields at ISOLDE leaves 19Ne and 35Ar as clear ca ndidates. \n\nThe layout of the beamline connecting the REX mass separator with WITCH must be done and sufficient vacuum conditions established to a llow the multiply charged ions to survive for several seconds. The ions mu st furthermore be cooled [6\, 7] before being let into the decay trap (var ious choices for the cooling procedure are currently being discussed).\n\n This proposed experiment at REXEBIS and WITCH would give important indepen dent information on the process of nuclear electron capture in few-electro n systems. Measurements could start as soon as preparatory efforts will ha ve created the required experimental conditions and the presently ongoing beta-neutrino correlation measurements with WITCH will have yielded the ph ysics results.\n\n\n[1] F.

Cald well et al.\, arXiv\, acc-ph: 0807.4599). The idea is to use existing high -energy proton bunches to drive a plasma wakefield. The strong plasma fie ld then accelerates a trailing electron bunch to high energies. 2D and 3D Particle-in-Cell simulations show that a proton bunch with particle energy of 1 TeV\, a bunch length of 100 µm\, and 1011 protons can accelerate an electron bunch to beyond 500 GeV in a single plasma channel. A key eleme nt in realizing PDPWA is the production of a very short proton bunch. Thi s is currently under study and recent results will be presented. A proof-o f-principle experiment based on PDPWA is then proposed for consideration a s a future CERN project. A proton bunch extracted from the PS or SPS would first be compressed through conventional magnetic compression and then en ter into the plasma channel to exciting the plasma wakefield. In a first stage\, the properties of the plasma wave could be studied without an elec tron bunch. Upon success of this stage\, an electron bunch could be injec ted in the plasma and acceleration gradients demonstrated. Properties of t he electron bunch would be studied in detail.

Fixed-\ntarget experiments have bee n carried out at the AGS and SPS with\nheavy-ion beams at $\\sqrt{s}\\le$2 0 GeV/nucleon\, and have been \nfollowed by an experimental program at the RHIC ion collider\, up to\n$\\sqrt{s}=$200 GeV/nucleon.\n\nThe detection of lepton pairs played a very important role since the\nvery beginning. F undamental achievements\, as the discovery of\nanomalous J/$\\psi$ suppres sion (NA50\, NA60 at SPS\, PHENIX at RHIC) \nand the study of the low and intermediate mass continuum (CERES\, \nHELIOS-3\, NA50 and NA60 at SPS\, P HENIX at RHIC)\, connected with \nchiral symmetry restoration\, required i n fact a very precise \nmeasurement of lepton pairs. In particular\, the t hird generation NA60 experiment at the CERN SPS\, coupling the use of a hi gh granularity \nsilicon tracker to a traditional magnetic spectrometer w ith a selective \ndimuon trigger\, has pushed to unprecedented levels the statistical \naccuracy\, the mass resolution and the background rejectio n capabilities. \nThis permitted to perform for the first time a quantita tive characterization \nof the $\\rho$ spectral function and of the emiss ion of thermal lepton \npairs in nuclear collisions.\n\nAs of today (begin ning of 2009)\, the field is expected to evolve in two\ndifferent directio ns.\n\nAt the LHC\, baryon-free deconfined matter with still higher initia l\ntemperature\, extending over larger regions and with a longer lifetime\ , \nwill be created. The produced medium will be a reasonable approximatio n \nin the lab of the state of the early universe a few micro-seconds afte r \nthe Big-Bang.\n\nOn the other hand\, the study of the QCD phase diagra m remains almost\nunexplored in the region of moderate temperature and hig h baryon\ndensity. In this regime\, lattice QCD studies foresee the occurr ence of\na critical point\, separating a region of a first-order phase tra nsition\nfrom hadronic matter to the QGP from a region where the transitio n is a\nsimple fast cross-over. The search for such a critical point larg ely\nmotivated the fixed-target CBM experiment at the forthcoming FAIR\nfa cility\, with a maximum beam energy of about 40 GeV/nucleon\n($\\sqrt{s}\\ sim$10 GeV/nucleon). This physics domain also attracted\nconsiderable int erest inside the RHIC community\, leading to the\napproval of a "low-energ y" program\, with beams down to a few \nGeV/nucleon. Finally\, at the CERN SPS\, the recently approved NA61\nexperiment aims at studying collisions again with emphasis on the\nlow-energy side (a few tens GeV/nucleon)\, wit h a physics program\nsimilar to the one proposed at the other two faciliti es.\n\nBoth the RHIC program and the NA61 experiment will essentially\nadd ress the study of hadronic observables\, due to the intrinsic low\nluminos ity of the RHIC collider at low energy and to the TPC-based\nexperimental set-up of NA61\, resp. For this reason\, it would be \nextremely interesti ng to extend the lepton measurements made by the \nNA60 experiment at the CERN SPS by performing an energy scan from the \nSPS topmost energy down t o 40-50 GeV/nucleon\, close to the maximum \nFAIR energy. This would perm it the study of leptonic observables in a\nregion of increasing baryon den sity\, close to the possible position of\nthe QCD critical point. The theo retical description of this region\, in\nterms of phenomenology of leptoni c probes\, is still at a rather\npreliminary stage. However\, there are ef fects seen at higher energy\,\nas the enhancement of the dilepton yield in the region around the\n$\\rho$ meson\, that are expected to be proportion al to the\nbaryochemical potential\, and that should therefore be consider ably\nenhanced at lower energies. A pioneering measurement performed by\nC ERES at 40 GeV/nucleon indeed seems to suggest this trend.\n\nAnother key observable\, J/$\\psi$ suppression\, exhibits a threshold-\nlike behaviour at top SPS energy\, when studied as a function of the\ncentrality of the collision. The extension of its systematic study\ntowards lower energy cou ld reveal detailed information on the nature\nof the observed threshold be haviour\, and allow a more direct\nconnection with the underlying physics mechanism.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=91&se ssionId=4&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=91&sessionId=4& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Beta-NMR as a novel technique using radioactive beams for biophysi cal studies DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T122000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T122500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-90@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: HEMMINGSEN\, Lars (University of Copenhagen)\nBeta-N MR\, which is a part of the future plans for HIE-ISOLDE project\, online p erturbed angular correlation (PAC) and distribution (PAD) of gamma rays ar e nuclear techniques which have not been applied in biochemistry yet.

The highest available energy with a high polarization is of the order of 200 GeV\, and the maximum luminosity reached in the M2 beam line ~10^32. COMPASS has ex ploited this facility during the past years to provide important results o n the spin of the nucleon. To go further and study in detail the transver se spin structure\, the role of gluons in the spin structure\, and the sp atial distribution of gluons and quarks in the nucleon\, it is essential t o enlarge the kinematic range. This can be achieved only by increasing bot h the luminosity and the energy of the beams available at the COMPASS expe riment which can handle polarized as well as unpolarized targets. Very pre cise measurements of inclusive and exclusive deep inelastic polarized proc esses at low x and high Q2 values are still needed\, as well as new observ ables like the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and the Transverse Momentum Dependent distributions (TMDs) which can be studied via both DIS or Drell-Yan processes and require high luminosity. The muon flux arriving at COMPASS has been carefully optimized over the last decade. The main li miting factor to reach higher intensities results from the maximum number of protons which can be extrated from SPS quoted as ~3.2*10^13 (~2*10^13) protons/spill for the long (short) SPS flat tops. Several other limiting f actors have been identified: radio protection issues at several places alo ng the beam line\, resistance of the T6 primary production target\, quadru poles and other elements of the beam and transfer lines\, and finally bea m halo level in the experiment. As a consequence\, a major upgrade of the beam line including eventually underground installation is unavoidable to reach higher luminosity. Projects for future facilities\, like an electron ion collider\, to resume studies in this field of physics are already und er discussion in other labs. However\, such a machine will not be availabl e before 10 or 15 years\, and CERN can be a major competitor in this physi cs domain meanwhile. \n\n2/ HADRON BEAMS.\nSome of the important physics channels using hadron beams within COMPASS require highest possible energi es from the SPS. These comprise central production of hadron resonances\, where central production and diffractive production can only be separated kinematically. The central production process is governed by double region exchange and Pomeron-Pomeron scattering\, the fraction of which is strong ly energy dependent\, where the latter one raises with energy. The second topic is connected with the installation of a hyperon beam inside the nort h area to study doubly charmed baryons. High energy boosts the decay lengt h and thus yield of hyperons extracted from a double bent channel. In addi tion\, charm production cross sections are strongly energy dependent at lo w center of mass energies\, thus the gain in yield of doubly charmed baryo n seems substantial. At present\, the COMPASS beam line can only transport 270 GeV/c beams\, mostly connected with power supplies of the magnets ins talled. It is desireable to increase the energy up to 450 GeV/c\, the high est one available from SPS.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.p y?contribId=92&sessionId=4&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=92&sessionId=4& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Introduction talk DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T092000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T094000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-97@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SCHAEFER\, Andreas (University Regensburg)\nStatus o f theory and what is happening in the field elsewhere\n\nhttp://indico.cer n.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=97&sessionId=2&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=97&sessionId=2& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Solving the neutrino mass and baryon asymmetry puzzles with exper iments at SPS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T073000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T075000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-11@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SHAPOSHNIKOV\, Mikhail (EPFL Lausanne)\nThe Standard Model cannot explain neutrino masses and oscillations\, does\nnot provide a candidate for dark matter particle and does not explain\nwhy the univer se contains more matter than antimatter.

The data obtained are of interest in itself for the g eneral theory of pbarp interactions and will provide a first experimental characterization of the spin-dependence of the nucleon-antinucleon potenti al. They are furthermore required to define the optimum parameters of a de dicated Antiproton Polarizer Ring (APR) that shall be used to feed a doubl e–polarized asymmetric pbarp collider with polarized antiprotons. Such a machine has been recently proposed by the PAX collaboration for the new F acility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI in Darmstadt\, Germa ny [2]. The availability of an intense beam of polarized antiprotons will provide access to a wealth of single– and double–spin observables\, th ereby opening a new window to QCD spin physics.\n\nA recent measurement at COSY revealed that ep spin–flip interactions provide insufficiently sma ll cross sections to depolarize a stored proton beam [3]. This measurement rules out the use of polarized positrons to polarize an antiproton beam b y e+pbar spin–flip interactions. Our approach to provide a beam of polar ized antiprotons is based on spin filtering using an internal polarized hy drogen gas target — a method known to work for stored protons [4]. We ar e aiming to improve intensities of polarized antiproton beams by at least ten orders in magnitude compared to what has been achieved hitherto.\n\nPr ovided antiproton beams with a polarization around 20% can be obtained wit h the APR\, the antiproton machine at FAIR (the High Energy Storage Ring) could be converted into a double–polarized asymmetric pbarp collider by installation of an additional COSY–like ring. In this setup\, antiproton s of 3.5 GeV/c collide with protons of 15 GeV/c at c.m. energies of sqrt(s ) ~ srqt(200) GeV with a luminosity in excess of 10^31 cm−2s−1. The PA X physics program proposed for FAIR [2] has been highly rated by various c ommittees [5].

This is in particu lar the case for those studied in the EUROnu design study. The more specif ic requirements in terms of proton energy and time structure are described . \n\n-- for the first option studied in EUROnu\, a conventional neutrin o superbeam\, the physics performance of the project requires typically a 4 MW proton driver with a pulse rate of the order of 50 Hz. To minimize the energy consumption by the corresponding hadron collecting system and increase its lifetime\, the proton pulse duration must remain as short as possible and not exceed 5 microseconds. \n\n-- the specification for the Neutrino Factory proton driver is that it will deliver a beam power of 4 M W at an energy of 10±5 GeV in one to three bunches of 2 ns duration at a repetition rate of 50 Hz. This challenging specification can be met using a super-conducting linac feeding a system of accumulator and compressor r ings or by a novel non-scaling FFAG.\n\n- finally for the beta-beams\, the use of spallation neutrons for indirect production of beta emitters 6He and 8Li is a valuable option within the capability of a superconducting pr oton linac. Increasing the production ability of other important candidate s for beta beams\, such as 18Ne\, which is today insufficient\, is activel y pursued within the EURISOL program.\n\nIt is noted finally that challeng ing muon physics\, such as search for rare decays predicted in supersymmet ric theories in particular\, can be performed at a high intensity proton accelerator taking advantage of the flexible time structure of the SPL\, e specially with an accumulator ring.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionD isplay.py?contribId=46&sessionId=10&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=46&sessionId=10 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement - Ion Program of NA61/ SHINE at the CERN SPS (15+5) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T145000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T151000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-47@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GAZDZICKI\, Marek (Frankfurt University)\nThe NA61/S HINE experiment at the CERN SPS aims to discover\n the critical point of strongly interacting matter and\n study properties of the onset of deconf inement.

A possible way to gain information is to study how the me son mass changes in a nuclear medium. The mass shift of a meson in a nucle ar medium will provide evidence of the partial restoration of spontaneous broken chiral symmetry. \n\nThe use of antiprotons for the production of d ouble-strangeness was recently discussed by Weise and Kienle [Int. Jour. M od. Phys. A 22 (2007) 365] and indeed\, it would be very challenging to pr oduce and study such "double-strange nuclei" in the view of the prediction of Akaishi and Yamazaki [Phys. Lett. B 535 (2002) 70] that double-antikao n bound nuclear systems with strangeness (S = -2) will be formed with bind ing energies up to 200-300 MeV. Such binding energies might result in an i ncrease of the average density to more than 3 times the average nuclear de nsity. If such dense systems really exist they will indeed represent ideal conditions to investigate how the spontaneous and explicit symmetry break ing pattern of low-energy QCD changes in a dense nuclear medium.\nFirst re sults on events with the production of two K+ mesons were reported by the DIANA collaboration [Nucl. Phys. A 558 (1993) 361] and recently a reanalys is of part of the OBELIX data measured at LEAR [Nucl. Phys. A 797 (2007) 1 09] was published\, giving a probability of ~10-4 for the production of tw o K+ mesons. \nBased on this observation we plan a dedicated experiment to search for double strange nuclear cluster formation following antiproton annihilation at rest in various targets using missing mass and invariant m ass spectroscopy. One possible target might be helium\, where the antiprot on is stopped and a double strange tri-baryon system is produced:\n\npbar +4He → K+ + K+ + pnnK-K- \n \nTo investigate such systems a detect or system with three different detector components are planned with almost 4π coverage and excellent particle identification and spectroscopy capab ilities. As central detector\, an essential part of this experimental setu p\, a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) for charged particle tracking is fores een. Within a Joint Research Activity of the FP7 program HadronPhysics 2\, the study and development of a similar prototype TPC is already planned.\ n\nA first experiment could be performed at the CERN/AD using the MUSASHI trap (ASACUSA)\, which provides slow extraction. In future more detailed s tudies are planned at FLAIR.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay. py?contribId=43&sessionId=13&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=43&sessionId=13 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Proposed Application of the LHC and SPS to Study High Energy Densi ty Matter and Plasma Physics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T083000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090513T084000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-5@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: TAHIR\, Naeem (GSI Darmstadt)\nThe Large Hadron Coll ider (LHC) will generate two counter rotating 7 TeV proton beams\, each co ntaining 362 MJ energy that is sufficient to melt 500 kg copper. Safety of operation is an extremely important issue when working with such powerful beams. Any uncontrolled release of a small fraction of the beam energy ca n cause considerable damage to the equipment. A worst case scenario could be that the entire beam is lost at a given point. In order to study the co nsequences of such an accident\, extensive numerical simulations have been carried out over the past few years. First\, the energy loss of the 7 TeV protons is calculated using the FLUKA code [1] that is a fully integrated Monte Carlo particle simulation model capable of treating all components of the particle cascades\, up to multi-TeV energies. This data is used as input to a 2D computer code\, BIG2 [2]\, that is used to study the hydrody namic and thermodynamic response of a solid copper cylindrical target that is facially irradiated with the full LHC beam. It has been found that the LHC protons will penetrate about 35 m in solid copper [3] and the target will be severely damaged. A very interesting outcome of this work has been that the target material will be converted into a huge sample of High Ene rgy Density (HED) matter. In fact the specific energy deposition by the LH C beam in the target is of the same order as is expected at a dedicated fa cility\, FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) [4-6]. It has th erefore been proposed that HED physics studies could be an additional appl ication of the LHC [7]. It is also interesting to note that according to o ur simulations\, the SPS has also the potential to generate HED states in matter.\n\nReferences\n\n[1] A.

A ll the other elements (Z>3) were synthesized in stars and in stellar explo sions. The quest for the origin of the elements is\, therefore\, strongly connected to the mechanisms governing the life and evolution of stars and to the nuclear reaction processes taking place in their interiors. By far\ , most of the isotopes found in Nature are the result of neutron induced r eactions in stars.\n\nInitiated by Carlo Rubbia and his colleagues and sup ported as a European project\, the construction of the CERN spallation neu tron source n_TOF took place in 2000. In parallel\, the n_TOF Collaboratio n was established with about 120 participants from more than 30 institutes \, mostly from the EU\, but also from the USA and Russia\, to perform the first measurement campaign starting in 2002. The facility is characterized by the combination of high neutron flux\, excellent time resolution\, and very low backgrounds. What is unique\, however\, is the outstanding duty cycle of only one intense proton pulse every 2.4 seconds\, which makes n_T OF the most luminous neutron source world-wide. These features are providi ng the ideal environment for neutron time-of-flight experiments covering t he full energy range of astrophysical interest. The excellent performance of the facility is complemented by the use of the most advanced detection and data acquisition techniques for neutron cross section studies.\n\nIn t he present paradigm for the origin of the elements there are two neutron c apture processes\, each contributing about half of the abundances beyond F e\, which are named according to their characteristic time scales. The rap id neutron capture process (r process) is commonly associated with superno va explosions. In this case\, neutron capture times are in the range of mi lliseconds\, much faster than beta decays. Accordingly\, the r-process pat h runs close to the neutron drip line and comprises a complex reaction net work among exotic and extremely neutron-rich nuclei. In contrast\, the slo w neutron capture process (s process) takes place during the He burning st ages of stellar evolution. In the s process\, neutron capture times are mu ch longer than typical half-lives for beta decay. \n\nThe relevant nuclear physics input for quantitative studies of the s and r process is determin ed by the time scales: in the s process the resulting abundances are direc tly correlated with the neutron capture cross sections of the stable nucle i in the stability valley\, whereas the r abundances depend mostly on the unknown beta decay rates on the r-process path as well as on the decay cha ins back to stability. Obviously\, the nuclear input for the s process can be accurately determined in laboratory experiments. Under stellar conditi ons\, neutrons are quickly thermalized in the hot and dense stellar plasma and effective reaction rates need to be derived from energy dependent neu tron capture cross sections in the range from 100 eV to well above 500 keV \, where n_TOF offers outstanding opportunities. Such measurements are als o important for unstable isotopes\, which are crucial for the analysis of branchings in the reaction path of the s process\, as will be illustrated at the example of Sm-151. \n\nAn extensive experimental plan for continuat ion of neutron capture cross section measurements for s-process studies an d related nuclear astrophysics phenomena (e.g. cosmic clocks) will be pres ented. This plan is partly based on the present installation but also envi saging the enormous improvement\, which could be obtained with a second ex perimental area at a shorter flight-path. A hundred times higher flux\, a factor of ten improvement in the duty factor and strongly reduced backgrou nds will allow for investigation of important cases\, which are inaccessib le so far. This includes studies on unstable samples in the nanogram range \, which could be produced by future radioactive ion beams at CERN.\n\nhtt p://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=77&sessionId=7&confId= 51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=77&sessionId=7& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Scientific plans of the DIRAC experiment beyond 2010 (20+5) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T142500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090511T145000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-76@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: NEMENOV\, Leonid (Joint Institute for Nuclear Resear ch (JINR))\nThe main task of the DIRAC experiment is to check precise pred ictions of low-energy QCD using ππ and πK atoms. At present\, theory pr edicts the ππ s-wave scattering lengths with a precision of 1.5% for |a0 -a2| and about 2.5% for a0 and a2. The theoretical uncertainty is mainly d etermined by uncertainties on two constants of ChPT. In 2006\, these const ants were obtained from Lattice calculation and one can expect that in a f ew years this calculation will give an even higher precision of ππ scatt ering lengths. Experimentally\, the scattering lengths were obtained from K-meson decays (K3π\, Ke4) and from the ππ-atom lifetime. At present\, the precision of ππ scattering lengths measurements is a few percents wo rse than the theoretical precision. For this reason\, improving the experi mental accuracy is an important task. The experimental data collected by D IRAC in 2008 and 2009 will allow to reach the precision of about 2.5% for |a0-a2|. \n\nThe low-energy QCD predicts πK scattering lengths with a pre cision of about 10%. In a near future\, this accuracy will be significantl y improved. The experimental estimations of πK scattering lengths were ob tained from πK scattering phases at high energy using Roy-Steiner equatio ns. Direct measurements of the πK phases at low energy or of the πK scat tering lengths do not exist. The DIRAC experiment plans to observe πK ato ms using data collected in 2007-2009 and to measure the lifetime of these atoms and\, hence\, to obtain the first evaluation the s-wave scattering l ength combination |a1/2-a3/2|. The measurement of the s-wave πK scatterin g lengths will test our understanding of the chiral SU(3)LSU(3)R symmet ry breaking of QCD (u\, d and s quarks)\, while the measurement of ππ sc attering lengths checks only the SU(2)LSU(2)R symmetry breaking (u\, d quarks).\n\nIn 2009\, we are planning to present a request for a data-taki ng run in 2010 with the aim of observing the long-lived states of ππ ato ms. This experiment can be performed with the existing setup without modif ications\, neither of detectors nor of electronics. Further data taking wi ll allow us to obtain experimentally a value of the Lamb shift ΔE(2s-2p) in this atom. The measurement of ΔE(2s-2p) allows determining the combina tion of ππ scattering lengths 2a0+a2 in a model-independent way. Togethe r with the ππ atom lifetime measurement\, this permits to determine a0 a nd a2 separately. The method of the Lamb shift measurement uses only the w ell-known theory of the Stark effect. \n\nFrom the data to be collected in 2008 and 2009\, it will be possible to observe the Coulomb enhancement in the production of K+K− pairs\, and thus to determine\, in a model indep endent way\, the number of K+K− atoms produced at the same time. This an alysis will allow us to estimate the feasibility to observe these atoms an d to measure their lifetime.\n\nThe 2008-2009 data will also allow us to s earch for the Coulomb enhancement in the production of πμ pairs and thus to determine\, in a model-independent way\, the number of πμ atoms prod uced. This analysis will allow to decide if it is possible with this exper iment to observe this atom. The final aim is to measure the Lamb shift in the πμ atom\, which is strictly related to the electromagnetic radius of the charged pion.\n\nNew possibilities to check the predictions of the lo w-energy QCD would be available after the installation of the DIRAC setup on the 450 GeV SPS proton beam. Simulations based on FRITIOF6\, which give s correct π and K meson spectra in the dynamic range of the DIRAC spectro meter\, show that at the same intensity of the secondary particles across the forward detectors the number of detected ππ atoms will be 15 times h igher than the one at 24 GeV\, the number of K+π− atoms 25 times higher and the number of K−π+ atoms 32 times higher. This enhancement in atom yields allows to obtain simultaneously |a0-a2| with a precision of about 1.5% and about 5% for |a1/2-a3/2| within 12 months of data taking. The mea surement of the Lamb shift in ππ and πK atoms would take another run. T hese results would provide the crucial check of low-energy QCD predictions .\n\nMigration from PS to PS2 with the 50 GeV beam would also provide a si gnificant gain in the mesonic atom production. The required statistics and achievable accuracy are under investigation.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con tributionDisplay.py?contribId=76&sessionId=4&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=76&sessionId=4& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Exploring nuclei at the limit of REX-ISOLDE and HIE-ISOLDE using a n active target detector DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T121000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T121500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-75@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: RAABE\, Riccardo (GANIL)\nThe beams of exotic nuclei produced at REX-ISOLDE presently\, and at HIE-ISOLDE in the future\, offe r a unique possibility of applying direct reaction methods for the study o f the nuclear structure very far from stability. In light-ion transfer rea ctions\, which are performed in inverse kinematics\, the energy resolution degrades rapidly with the target thickness when a solid target is used\, thus preventing measurements with the most exotic and weak ion beams.\n\nT he active target concept allows to overcome this problem. It is a gaseous detector\, where the nuclei of the detection gas are at the same time the target nuclei. The tracks of ionizing particles are recorded\, allowing a precise reconstruction of the reaction kinematics in the whole gas volume. It ensures a high efficiency coupled with a low detection threshold. Typi cally\, the target thickness is one to two orders of magnitude larger than a conventional solid target. Direct reactions can thus be studied using t he weakest post-accelerated beams.\n\nAt REX-ISOLDE these studied can be p erformed in the neutron-rich Ni region\, and with HIE-ISOLDE they will be extended to the Pb region. Information on masses (from reaction Q-values) and single-particle structure of states (from reaction cross sections) can be combined with that obtained by other techniques (decay and laser spect roscopy\, Coulomb excitation)\, fully exploiting the unique opportunities present at ISOLDE.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contrib Id=75&sessionId=14&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=75&sessionId=14 &confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Nuclear data at n_TOF for fundamental science and technological ap plications DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T125500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T131500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-70@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GONZALEZ ROMERO\, Enrique (Centro de Investigaciones Energ. Medioambientales y Tecn. - (CIE)\nThe n_TOF facility at CERN offer s unique conditions worldwide for the measurement of neutron capture and n eutron induced fission cross sections. The high neutron intensity and opti mized duty cycle of the n_TOF neutron beam allows measuring the properties of highly radioactive species. Such is the case\, for example\, of the he avy elements with Z≥90\, which are difficult to investigate and handle d ue to their α and β-activity and\, in some cases\, spontaneous fission. \n\nThe nuclear structure of such nuclei is of great relevance for the imp rovement of nuclear models and can be investigated efficiently by neutron bombardment. Indeed\, the most reliable experimental data on nuclear level density parameters concerns the s-wave neutron resonance spacing D0 at th e neutron separation energy Sn obtained in neutron capture experiments. Su ch experiments have also a great relevance for the sustainability of the n uclear energy production and\, more particularly\, for finding a satisfact ory strategy for the final management of the nuclear waste.\n\nThe n_TOF f acility has also proven to be a unique place for investigating the nuclear fission process from thermal energies up to several hundred MeV in one si ngle experiment. Properties like the fragment charges and mass distributio ns\, the energy released\, the fragment deformations\, and excitation ener gies\, which are among the questions not yet fully understood theoreticall y\, can be addressed at n_TOF. Furthermore\, n_TOF can contribute as well to the nuclear energy applications\, where it remains of major importance in to be able to estimate accurately the probability that fission occurs w hen competing with other decay channels or the number of neutrons released during the fission process. \n\nMany measurements made at CERN in the pre vious campaign had become the best world wide data available and are openi ng new levels of detail in the structure of the neutron induced reactions. Those measurements are at the same time improving our evaluation of the f easibility and performance of transmutation reactors proposed for the nucl ear waste minimization before final disposal. Several expert groups of int ernational organizations (NEA/OCDE\, IAEA) had prepared compilations of nu clear data needs to approach the required precision to grant the feasibili ty of the new applications providing enhanced sustainability on the use of resources and reduction of final waste and environmental impact. The n_TO F Facility in its present form can strongly contribute to reach several of this requirements in the best worldwide conditions\, both for Z≥90 and for isotopes of lower Z with low capture cross sections or significant rad ioactivity. Furthermore\, modifications of the present experimental area a nd the construction of a new short flight path and the associated experime ntal area\, for which conceptual designs are available\, would enable the utilization of samples of additional isotopes only available or manageable in very small amounts\, thus opening the way to achieve a large fraction of the previously quoted nuclear data needs.\n\nThe coincidence between th e isotopes\, reactions and precision requirements from the fundamental nuc lear physics and astrophysics needs\, and the needs for industrial applica tions is remarkable. This coincidence has been the base for the strong and close cooperation of the corresponding researchers within the n_TOF exper iments in the past and the motivation to propose its continuation in futur e experiments.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=7 0&sessionId=7&confId=51128 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=70&sessionId=7& confId=51128 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:AEGIS: measurement of the gravitational interaction of antihydroge n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090512T151000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T052836Z UID:indico-contribution-51128-78@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: COMPARAT\, Daniel (Lab.
