BDX & Beyond Workshop
The International Workshop on Secondary Beams at Jefferson Lab (BDX & Beyond) will focus on optimizing the use of intense secondary beams at Jefferson Lab produced by the interaction of high-intensity electron beams with beamdumps. It aims to bring together experts in neutrino, muon, and light dark matter physics — from both experimental and theoretical communities — to explore the potential of the available secondary beams.
The Format of the Workshop:
The workshop will be hybrid in-person and on Zoom and will include sessions on muon physics, neutrino physics, dark matter and dark sector searches, instrumentation and targets, and other topics including beamdump and beamlines and is encouraging new ideas for physics with experiments in a planned underground vault behind the Hall A beamdump.
Speakers contributions and the outcome of the discussions at the workshop will be summarized in a White Paper that will be made publicly available on arXiV.
The Experimental Concept:
Recently, Jefferson started with the design of an experimental area downstream of the Hall A beamdump. The image shows the concept of a vault for the instrumentation and a facility room above ground for experiment electronics and readout.
Host:
The BDX & Beyond Workshop at Jefferson Lab Workshop will be hosted by the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab).
Zoom connection:
The workshop will be in hybrid mode. A Zoom connection will be made available to registered participants.
