Marshak University of Minnesota April 10, 2004Brief History of U.S. Underground Labs: Brief History of U.S. Underground Labs Several mines used to measure cosmic ray underground muon flux Late 1960’s, Davis installed neutrino detector in Homestake Mine About 1980, several mines used for proton decay detectors: Fairport Harbor, Soudan, Silver King. Al Mann advocates for “National Underground Lab” Late 2000, Homestake Mine announces closure. Ken Lande advocates for “National Underground Lab” at HomestakeBrief History of U.S. Underground Labs: Brief History of U.S. Underground Labs March 2001: Bahcall Committee designates Homestake as first-choice site 2001-2004: Homestake falters; other sites emerge March 2004: NSF announces new process to advance U.S. deep underground labNo Agreement on Purpose of the Lab: No Agreement on Purpose of the Lab Do everything you can think of Focus on “breakthrough” research Advance outreach and/or policy objectivesNo Agreement on Characteristics of the Lab: No Agreement on Characteristics of the Lab Compact vs. extensive Moderately deep vs. ultra-deep Horizontal access vs. vertical access Location relative to accelerators and/or beamNo Agreement on What Gets Done First: No Agreement on What Gets Done First Large and moderately deep Small and ultra-deep Access to extensive rock Neutrino beamNine Sites: Nine Sites “O’Hare Airport”: baseline site Kimballton: limestone mine in Virginia Soudan: existing lab and NUMI beam Ash River: off-axis on NUMI beam Homestake: access to depth, knowledge of rock, infrastructure Henderson: modern infrastructure WIPP: DOE-owned, modern infrastructure San Jacinto: escarpment Icicle Creek: escarpment Why Homestake?: Why Homestake? Risk: Knowledge of rock, state support Broader Impacts: EPSCoR Time: Existing access to depth Cost: Some existing infrastructure Why Soudan?: Why Soudan? Risk: Existing lab, demonstrated project management Broader Impacts: Ongoing outreach program Time: Existing lab, can do some things immediately Cost: Existing infrastructureAsh River: Ash River Off-Axis version of Soudan What Happens Next?: What Happens Next? UNO must advocate for Henderson Submit NSF Phase 2 proposal Do studies related to site UNO should also participate in Phase 1. How? What then?
