Meeting ID: 926 4791 2735
WORKSHOP SCOPE AND GOALS: There has been growing appreciation in recent years that accelerator based neutrino facilities, such as the currently operating short baseline experiments at Fermilab and the future DUNE experiment, have great potential to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). One potential roadblock to realizing this potential is the lack of dedicated simulation tools for BSM production and detection, needed both for phenomenological studies as well as experimental analyses. This focused workshop will bring together experts and stakeholders from both theory and experiment to make progress on this issue. Specific topics will include the motivations for BSM searches at neutrino beam experiments, simulation of BSM production in neutrino beams, and modeling of BSM signatures, as well as beam related neutrino backgrounds, in neutrino beam experiments. Ample time for discussion will be provided, with the aim of fostering new collaborations and developing a path forward towards a comprehensive BSM simulation framework.
