T3-3 New Directions in Accelerator-Based Experiments: Future Experiments at TRIUMF and Brookhaven (PPD) | Nouvelles voies fondées sur des accélérateurs: expériences futures à TRIUMF et Brookhaven (PPD)

A polarized electron beam is being considered as an upgrade for the SuperKEKB accelerator, which would enable a new precision electroweak physics program at Belle II. Many of these electroweak tests are preformed with experimental measurements of the left-right asymmetry, $A_{LR}$, where the expected level of precision at Belle II dictates at least one loop calculations from theory. We have...
The nature of dark matter and its relationship to the Standard Model is one of the highest priority open questions in particle physics today. Accelerator-based experiments are a powerful tool in the search for dark matter and the new bosons that may mediate its interactions with the known particles. The DarkLight experiment will search for such a new boson with preferential couplings to...
The neutron itself is an ideal laboratory for studying various beyond-the-standard-model theories. Precise measurements of the neutron lifetime can shed light on light element abundances in the universe, searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) could reveal mechanisms that created the apparent matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The key to these studies are long observation times...
Most of the visible mass in the universe consists of quarks and gluons bound in protons and neutrons. But, there remain several big questions about some surprisingly basic properties of the protons and neutrons (or nucleons, collectively). How does the mass of the nucleon arise from the much lighter quarks and massless gluons? How does the spin ½ of the nucleon arise from the spin ½ quarks...
