A PROJECT SUMMARY

A.1 Overview

The proton radius puzzle is among the most important issues in physics. The >7σ discrepancybetween the proton radius measured with ep systems vs. with muonic hydrogen has attracteda lot of attention since it might result from beyond standard model physics. Explanationsinvoking novel aspects of nucleon structure or issues with the extraction of the radius fromthe experiments are also possible. Several new experiments exist: additional muonic atoms,improved hydrogen spectroscopy, and electron scattering at lower momentum transfer. TheMUSE experiment is the only experiment that studies the proton radius via muon scattering.Simultaneously measuring muon and electron scattering from protons reduces systematic un-certainties in comparison of the reactions. MUSE is the only study of two-photon-exchange inthe momentum-transfer range most sensitive to the proton radius. MUSE measures scatteringof both positively and negatively charged muons and electrons. Thus MUSE is sensitive topossible explanations of the proton radius puzzle to which other experiments are insensitive.

MUSE uses a mixed π, μ, and e beam at the πM1 beam line of the Paul Scherrer Institutein Villigen, Switzerland. Measurements will be done at several beam momenta. Beam linedetectors – beam Cerenkovs, scintillating Fibers, and GEM chambers – will measure beamparticle trajectories and identify beam particle type. Scattering will occur from a low-powercryogenic hydrogen target. Scattered particles will be tracked by thin-walled straw chambersand timed by fast scintillators. The trigger uses information from the beam Cerenkovs, fromthe fast scintillators, and form the accelerator synchronization signal.

This collaborative proposal supports the construction and operation of the MUSE experi-ment over the period 2014 – 2018. Planned activities includes construction from 2014 throughearly 2016, ongoing testing activities and commissioning activities from 2014 through 2016, adress rehearsal run with a partial spectrometer in late 2015, and a 2-year production run in 2016and 2017. At the end of production running, in 2018, assuming no analysis issues arise, eitherthere will be compelling followup experiments or the spectrometer will be decommissioned.

A.2 Intellectual Merit

The proton radius puzzle is among the most important current issues in physics. It has attractedbroad interest in the physics community and in popular media. The puzzle might reflect novelphysics of great importance. The MUSE experiment tests several possible explanations of thepuzzle, and thus has a good chance of providing crucial information needed to resolve the puzzle.

A.3 Broader Impact

The broader impact of this project is primarily in the training of students and young scien-tists, at the undergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral, and junior faculty levels. The institutionsinvolved in this project have trained large numbers of students of each type, including fromminority populations. The training they have received in the process of doing basic researchhas led to careers in a variety of areas, from medical physics to national security, in additionto continued work in fundamental physics research. The MUSE experiment will broaden theperspective of American students by having them work in an international collaboration atan international laboratory, which will prepare them effectively to become prominent globalscientists of the next generation. With the broad interest in the proton radius puzzle, MUSEhas the potential to be broadly inspirational beyond the current scientific community.

C PROJECT DESCRIPTION

C.1 Introduction

The proton radius determined with muonic hydrogen is >7σ smaller than the generally acceptedvalue for the proton radius determined from electronic hydrogen and electron scattering. This iscalled the Proton Radius Puzzle. The underlying cause could involve either new physics, issuesin the experiments, or issues in extracting the radius from the experimental data. Numerousideas have been advanced to explain the Puzzle. Most have been shown not to work, but severalviable proposals remain, none of which is generally accepted as the explanation for the Puzzle.As a result, determining the underlying cause requires new data. There are ongoing experimentsto measure other light muonic atoms, approved experiments to attempt to measure electronscattering to smaller momentum transfer, to improve sensitivity to the radius, and interest inimproving the hydrogen atom spectroscopy measurements of the radius.

The proton radius has not been measured with muon scattering. The MUon proton Scat-tering Experiment (MUSE), experiment R-12-01.2, at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) intendsto perform this measurement. We plan simultaneous measurements of μ+p and e+p scattering,as well as μ−p and e−p scattering. Measuring both μp and ep interactions at the same timechecks the consistency of the interactions with reduced systematics. The differences between +and − polarity scattering are sensitive to two-photon-exchange effects, higher-order correctionsto the scattering process. The slopes of the cross sections as Q2 → 0 determine the proton“radius”. We plan to measure relative cross sections at a typical level of a few tenths of apercent. These measurements should allow muon and electron scattering to be compared withhigh precision, and two-photon effects to be determined at the sub-percent level. The protonradius can be determined at the level of ≈ 0.01 fm, similar to previous ep measurements, withboth muons and electrons. The measurements will test several possible explanations of theproton radius puzzle, including some models of beyond standard model physics, some modelsof novel hadronic physics, and some issues in the radius extraction from scattering data.

This proposal requests funding for the collaboration to construct the necessary experimentalequipment, to install and commission the equipment at PSI, and to carry out the experiment.

C.2 Personnel

This proposal is a collaborative proposal of the core group of the MUSE collaboration, whichhas taken responsibility for construction and development of the experiment. The core groupincludes R. Gilman (Rutgers University), E.J. Downie and W. J. Briscoe (The George Washing-ton University), M. Kohl (Hampton University), E. Piasetzsky (Tel Aviv University), G. Ron(Hebrew University of Jerusalem), and S. Strauch, Y. Ilieva, and R. Gothe (University of SouthCarolina). Many collaborators have worked together many times in the past, in particular inJefferson Lab Hall A form factor measurements.

R. Gilman has been a chair of the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics and of theJefferson Lab Users Group Board of Directors. He became an American Physical SocietyFellow in 2003. He is currently Graduate Program Director for Rutgers Physics & Astronomy.Post-doc Katherine Myers, a Jefferson Lab and DNP dissertation award winner, has beenactive in MUSE, and is Analysis Coordinator. Rutgers Prof. R. Ransome and staff scientist G.Kumbartzki are expected to become involved in the MUSE effort in the near future. The groupwill look for a Ph.D. student to work on MUSE after a current student complete his Ph.D. infall 2013. Gilman has been working on experiments in Jefferson Lab Hall A [1] and FermilabE906 [2] in addition to MUSE [3]. The group also works on Fermilab MINERvA [4].

C.3 Results from Prior Support

Here we provide very brief indications of intellectual merit and broader impact resulting fromprior support by the NSF of the PIs. We do not report on the work of Profs. Piasetzky or Ron,who have not been supported by NSF, or of Prof. Downie, who only recently started beingsupported by NSF under award PHY-1309130.

Intellectual Merit: Prof. Gilman is now funded by NSF grant NSF-PHY-1306126, previouslysupported by NSF-PHY-0969239, and along with the Rutgers group has been funded by NSF forwell over 2 decades. Recent activities most closely related to MUSE are the Jefferson Laboratoryform factor experiments. Prof. Gilman was a co-spokesperson of JLab E04-019 [12], which foundtwo-photon effects are small in polarization transfer measurements, from data points at the samemomentum transfer but different ε’s. Prof. Gilman was also a co-spokesperson of JLab E08-007[13], which measured polarization transfer at low Q2 to determine the form factor ratio. A fit ofthe data along with world data confirm the Proton Radius Puzzle determined a “large” protoncharge radius and a slightly smaller magnetic radius. The second part of E08-007 is ongoing.Prof. Gilman also co-organized the Trento Proton Radius Puzzle Workshop [14] and co-wrotea review paper on the Puzzle [15].

Broader Impact: The major broader impact for the Rutgers group has been the exposureof a diverse student group to state-of-the-art research. The group’s three most recent postdocsinclude an ethnic Vietnamese and two women, one North African. The groups three most recentgraduate students include one Chinese, now graduated and moving into medical physics, andand one ethnic Asian Indian. Prof. Gilman has already involved 4 younger students in MUSErelated projects: a female summer REU student, a senior Honors student, a female engineeringstudent working on a part time summer project, and a very talented ethnic Chinese high schoolstudent, and expects to continue to involve such students in the project in the future. Thestudents studied an important issue: truncation errors in proton radius fits of scattering data,during summer 2013, and a publication is expected soon [16].

Broader Impact: We only discuss broader impact for Prof. Briscoe, as his only recent NSFfunding has been PHY-0853760, an International Research Experiences for Students (IRES)grant. Prof. Briscoe has involved students in NSF supported research numerous times innumerous projects at numerous labs over the past 30 years. The projects included standardresearch, major research instrumentation, information technology research, workshop/training,and Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) funding as well as IRES grants. A totalof thirty-two IRES funded students have spent summers at MAMI and/or MAX-Lab, Somealso worked at Glasgow, Basel, or Pavia with our collaborators there. Many students havemade presentations, completed Senior Honors Theses, participated in Conference Experience for

3

1404271

Undergraduates, and made poster presentations in GW student research competitions. Nearlya third of the students involved in this program were female, reflecting a continuing effort toattract women into experimental nuclear and particle physics research. Several of the studentsbelong to underrepresented minorities. Many of these students have gone on in fields of scienceand engineering that are important to the national need.

Intellectual Merit: Prof. Kohl is presently funded through NSF-PHY-1207672, and withthe previous NSF grants PHY-0855473 and MRI-0959521 for the OLYMPUS experiment toinvestigate the effects of two-photon exchange. Prof. Kohl has additional funding through theDOE Early Career Award DE-SC0003884, which is focused on the TREK program at J-PARCto study kaon decays. The NSF support enabled Prof. Kohl to develop the GEM trackingdetectors, which were successfully realized for OLYMPUS. Data acquisition for OLYMPUSwas successfully completed in 2013 and the analysis now well underway. Prof. Kohl holds ajoint appointment with Jefferson Lab, where he is primarily involved in the Hall C program,previously on E07-003 (SANE) and in the future on E12-11-009 (GEn @ Hall C) and C12-11-008(DarkLight). Physics work on these experiments is ongoing.

Broader Impact: Development of GEM detectors is of great use for many experiments andpotentially in nuclear medical instrumentation and hence for society as a whole. As an HBCU,Hampton University is uniquely suited to provide access to first-class research for studentsfrom underrepresented populations, in particular of African-Americans. Prior NSF supporthas enabled participation of several African-American undergraduate students in the GEMdetector production and installation and other projects at HU and JLab, two of whom havespent summers at MIT and at DESY.

Intellectual Merit: The USC group – Profs. Strauch, Gothe, and Ilieva – has recentlybeen funded under NSF grants PHYS-0555604 [2006–2009, $1,200,000], PHYS-0856010 [2009–2011, $1,725,000], and PHYS-1205782 [2012–2015, $1,380,000] to work in multiple colaborations[1, 3, 11, 17, 18, 19]. In the last five years the USC group had significant impact in Halls A,B, and C, leading experiments, organizing workshops, building CLAS12 baseline equipment,and being invited to speak at international conferences. Examples of JLab experiments ledinclude E03-105 [20], E06-013 [21], E04-010 [22], and E06-103 [23]. Most closely related to theMUSE experiment are the Hall A form factor experiments that the group has helped to lead.E05-103 [24] provided the form factor data [25] of Prof. Ron’s Ph.D. dissertation, and helpedmotivate E08-007 [26]. E03-104 [27] provided the best study of nucleons in nuclei [28, 29].Prior USC and NSF support led to a state-of-the-art detector laboratory at USC and to carryout the necessary R&D for the CLAS FToF12 project. The USC group surpassed all FToF12design requirements and was praised by the international technical review committee for beingefficient and well-organized. The USC group installed the completed FToF12 detector in HallB in Summer 2013. This is the project on which the MUSE scintillators are based.

Broader Impact: The USC group has made an impact on development of human resourcesand on society beyond science and technology. Since 2008 seven postdoctoral scientists andtwenty-three graduate students have worked on NSF supported projects at USC. Four studentsreceived Ph.D. degrees, four students graduated with M.S. degrees, and and two students re-ceived B.S. degrees with Honors. Over 20 undergraduate students have worked on a large varietyof research projects. Many of the students have received awards such as Fulbright Scholarships,Goldwater Scholarship, Presidential Scholarship, Rising Senior Awards, Graduate Student Re-search Awards, and have been Carolina, McNair, and Magellan Scholars. Members of the USCgroup acted as judges and mentors at regional Science and Engineering Fairs and the 2013DOD SC Junior Science & Humanities Symposium. These efforts increase community aware-ness and enjoyment of science. The USC group has been strongly involved in the USC Midway

C.4 Physics Motivation

C.4.1 The Proton Radius Puzzle

The generally accepted value for the proton radius1 determined with electrons comes fromthe CODATA 2010 analysis [30]: rp = 0.8775 ± 0.0051 fm. This analysis included radiusdeterminations from atomic hydrogen spectroscopy and from the best electron-proton scatteringmeasurements, the Mainz MAMI data of Bernauer et al. [31].

The electron scattering results have recently been re-confirmed several times. Zhan et al.[13] measured �ep → e′�p to determine 1% form factor ratios in the range Q2 = 0.3 → 0.8 GeV2.An analysis of world data (excluding the Mainz data set but including the data analyzed in[32]) resulted in a radius of 0.870 ± 0.010 fm, consistent with the Mainz and 2010 CODATAelectric radius determination – although the Mainz magnetic radius differs somewhat. Hill andPaz [33] used a z-expansion analysis of the scattering data to determine rp = 0.871 fm ± 0.009fm ± 0.002 fm ± 0.002 fm. Sick [34, 35] used a sum-of-Gaussians fit to obtain rp = 0.886 fm ±0.008 fm.

It was very surprising in 2010 when Pohl et al. [36] obtained a proton radius of 0.84184 ±0.00067 fm using muonic hydrogen. This result was also reconfirmed, with an improved analysisand a measurement of an additional transition, by Antognini et al. [37], who reported a value forthe proton radius of rp = 0.84087±0.00039 fm, in agreement with the Pohl et al. measurement.Antognini et al. also reported a magnetic radius consistent with electron scattering results,though in this case with uncertainties a few times larger. A partial summary of recent protonradius extractions is shown in Fig. 1.

The now >7σ discrepancy between the electronic and muonic measurements of the protonradius has attracted much attention. It has motivated numerous invited talks, dedicated sessionsat several meetings, a Workshop on the Proton Radius Puzzle at the European Center of Theoryin Trento, Italy [14] with nearly 50 experts in fields related to the Puzzle, a review paper [15](with more in preparation), new experiments, and stories in the popular media. The paper byPohl et al. has been cited about 200 times to date.

C.4.2 Possible Resolutions to the Puzzle

Arguably, the Proton Radius Puzzle is more puzzling today than when it first appeared. Notonly has the discrepancy increased, but numerous possible explanations of the Puzzle havebeen shown not to work. There have been suggestions of issues in the μp radius determination,issues in the ep radius determination, novel hadronic physics, and novel beyond standard model(BSM) physics. We briefly review some suggested explanations here. More detail can be foundin talks at the Trento Workshop [14], in the review paper by Pohl, Gilman, Miller and Pachucki[15], and in the cited literature.

The finite size of the proton causes a small perturbation to the Coulomb potential thatmainly shifts the energies of the s states. The effect can be determined through Lamb shiftmeasurements, given a sufficiently accurate relativistic theory that accounts for recoil correc-tions, vacuum polarization, etc., as the finite size effect is rather small. The atomic physics

1There are conceptual difficulties with the idea of a proton radius since the proton is a relativistic systemof quarks. Nevertheless, all mentioned experiments attempt to determine a proton “radius” defined as rp =−6dGE(Q2)/dQ2.

calculations have been repeated and verified by independent groups, and it is generally believedthat, at the level of the muonic hydrogen experiment, the uncertainties in the calculations aresufficiently small, and there are no significant missing or un-calculated higher order physicsterms. The extraction of the radius from muonic hydrogen also requires some knowledge ofadditional details of the proton’s structure – e.g., the third Zemach moment – but it is gen-erally believed that there are no significant issues here. The major challenge experimentallyis constructing a high power laser system that can pulse within a μs time scale when a muonenters and stops in a hydrogen gas. Muonic hydrogen measurements are ≈8,000,000 times moresensitive to the proton radius than electronic hydrogen measurements, as ψ(r = 0) ∝ m3

l . Sincethe laser frequency measurement precision needed is orders of magnitude lower than requiredby many atomic physics experiments, the muonic hydrogen experiment appears to be the mostsolid of all the experimental results.

We first consider whether there might be issues in the muonic hydrogen experiment or inextracting the radius from the muonic hydrogen experiment. The CODATA 2010 analysis [30]concluded that: “Although the uncertainty of the muonic hydrogen value is significantly smallerthan the uncertainties of these other values, its negative impact on the internal consistency ofthe theoretically predicted and experimentally measured frequencies, as well as on the value ofthe Rydberg constant, was deemed so severe that the only recourse was to not include it in thefinal least-squares adjustment on which the 2010 recommended values are based.” Apparentlyif the muonic hydrogen radius is correct, a number of other measurements will have to changesignificantly. While there is little doubt about the muonic hydrogen measurement itself, therehave been several suggestions about possible issues in the radius extraction. Extracting theradius from the measured laser frequency depends on additional details of nucleon structure.The idea that the 3rd Zemach radius is anomalously large is inconsistent with modern formfactor fits. There appears to be no significant effect if the muonic hydrogen atom is in an H2

6

1404271

molecule. The atomic physics calculations have largely been independently verified by multiplegroups. If there are structures in the form factors at low Q2, it should be noted that the averageQ2 of the muonic hydrogen measurement is between the average Q2 of the electronic hydrogenmeasurements and the Q2 range of the electron scattering measurements.

There have been several suggestions of novel two-photon exchange mechanisms which havebeen shown to be incorrect due to their implications for other existing hadronic physics mea-surements. The one existing viable idea [39] is that the two-photon exchange term coming fromthe proton polarizability is underestimated; changes in this term affect the radius extractedfrom muonic hydrogen. Technically, evaluating the polarizability requires elastic, inelastic, andsubtraction terms, where the subtraction term is needed for convergence. The subtraction termdiverges without the introduction of a form factor, which has known behavior at small andlarge Q2, but at present does not appear constrained at intermediate Q2. Typical assumptionslead to the subtraction term contribution and uncertainty having an effect that is only a fewpercent of the Puzzle, but at present it appears that there is no constraint from data – onlytheoretical bias – that prevents it from being much larger. At the Trento Workshop there wassome support for this idea, but it was not the favored explanation. We note that this explana-tion of the puzzle affects mainly the muon, as the effect is proportional to the m4

lepton, and thatthis effect predicts enhanced two-photon exchange effects in muon scattering from the proton.

We now consider whether there might be issues in determining the radius from the electronmeasurements. While neither atomic hydrogen nor electron scattering is as precise as muonscattering, the agreement of the two measurements makes it seem unlikely that they are wrong:it would be odd for two independent techniques to give the same wrong result, especially asthere are independent ep analyses from different data sets. But both types of ep measurementshave weaknesses.

A closer look at the atomic hydrogen measurements shows that nearly all the atomic hy-drogen results are individually within 1σ of the muonic hydrogen result. Only one result is 3σaway. Only when all the atomic hydrogen results are averaged does the difference in protonradius become so impressive. Furthermore, the atomic hydrogen results were done by only afew groups, and thus likely there are some correlations between the results; they are not entirelyindependent. There are many cases in physics of experiments converging on some value for ameasured quantity, which then changes by several times its uncertainty when a newer genera-tion of high precision experiments is performed. Thus, the uncertainty of the atomic hydrogenresult might be underestimated.

The determination of a proton radius from electron scattering has suffered from numerousmistakes over many years, and there continues to be a range of results. The analysis of Sick [32]was arguably the first to include all ingredients needed to get a reliable answer. More recentanalyses tend to be better than those preceding [32], but still insufficient attention is typicallypaid to the issue of model dependence. Above we mentioned the results from Bernauer et al.[31], Zhan et al. [13], Hill and Paz [33], and Sick [34, 35], which all give radii in the range 0.87– 0.89 fm with uncertainties of order 0.01 fm. These analyses are all basically consistent witheach other and with the atomic hydrogen result.

Several recent analyses have instead obtained radii from the scattering data of about 0.84fm, consistent with muonic hydrogen. In our view, these analyses have issues and are not asreliable as the analyses mentioned above. One example is the sum of dipoles analysis of Martand Sulaksono [40]. This result has been criticized by Downie et al. [41] due to the large reducedχ2 of the fit and the offset between the data and the fit, among other issues. C.E. Carlson andK. Griffioen found that Taylor expansion fits to the low Q2 data favor a radius near 0.84 fm,but studies by Kraus et al. [16] have shown that the truncation error for ep scattering fits

7

1404271

always causes the radius to be underestimated, and that the underestimate can be significantlylarger than the fit uncertainty even when the fit has a good χ2. The dispersion relation analysisof Lorenz et al. [42] yields rp = 0.84 ± 0.01 fm. This is the best of the analyses that finds asmall radius. We note that dispersion relations traditionally find smaller radii than other fittingtechniques. For the Lorenz fit the χ2/d.o.f ≈ 2.2, which indicates the fit does not describe thedata adequately, but in the low Q2 region the fit is pretty close to the data. It might be thatthe higher order terms which cause the fit and data to diverge at larger Q2 also lead to an offsetin the radius.

Thus, a closer look at the electronic hydrogen measurements suggests that the uncertaintiesare somewhat greater than reported, but that the electronic and muonic measurements of theproton radius are significantly in disagreement.

If the experiments are not wrong, and the extractions of the radii from the experimentsare not wrong, novel physics has to be considered, including beyond standard model (BSM)physics that differentiates muons from electrons. Previous measurements of lepton universalityand numerous other data, such as the muon (g − 2) measurements, constrain possible modelsof new physics. Nevertheless, several models have been created. Tucker-Smith and Yavin [43]found that a new scaler force carrier in the MeV mass range is not ruled out by other dataand could account for the Proton Radius Puzzle. The main constraint is that the scaler needsto have smaller coupling to the neutron than to the proton. Batell, McKeen, and Pospelov[44] indicate that there are a number of ways new forces can evade existing constraints butlead to the Proton Radius Puzzle. In particular, they consider a combination of new vectorand scaler particles with masses of 10’s of MeV. The two new particles can have effects thatadd to explain the Puzzle but largely cancel to have little effect on other physics observables.This model leads to enhanced parity violation in muon scattering and in muonic atom radiativecapture. Rislow and Carlson [45] show that one can explain the Puzzle while evading otherconstraints by a combination of new scaler and pseudoscalar, or new vector and pseudovector,particles. The allowed coupling constants are constrained by the Puzzle and muon (g − 2),and the mass ranges are somewhat constrained by K decays, depending on the coupling of thenew forces to muons vs. to electrons. Thus there are a variety of possible BSM explanationsof the Puzzle, with parameters constrained by existing data, and with potentially observableconsequences in several experiments.

The Particle Data Group recently concluded that: “Until the difference between the ep andμp values is understood, it does not make sense to average all the values together. For thepresent, we stick with the less precise (and provisionally suspect) CODATA 20122 value. It isup to workers in this field to solve this puzzle.” There are reasons to believe that each of thepossible explanations of the Proton Radius Puzzle is unlikely. The various explanations of thePuzzle were reviewed during the Proton Radius Puzzle Workshop [14] in Trento, Italy from Oct29 - Nov 2, 2012. The workshop, organized by R. Pohl, G. A. Miller, and R. Gilman, includednearly 50 experts in atomic and nuclear theory and experiment, as well as BSM theory. At theend of the workshop, a vote was held the likely resolution of the Puzzle. The approximatelyequally favored alternatives were BSM physics and issues in the ep experiments. There was alsosupport for the proton polarizability explanation described above, and a significant fraction ofthe community that was uncertain about the most likely explanation. In general it was agreedthat new experiments were needed to point to the correct explanation.

To summarize, in the nearly 3 years since it appeared, the Proton Radius Puzzle has becomemore puzzling, not less. New experimental results confirm the puzzle. Theoretical studies

2Note that the CODATA 2010 result appeared in 2012; we refer to it differently than does PDG.

1404271

have ruled out many possible explanations, leaving only a few possibilities. The Puzzle hasattracted wide interest, not just in the atomic, nuclear, and particle physics communities, butin the popular science media as well, demonstrating the timeliness of resolving this issue. Newexperiments are needed to resolve the puzzle.

C.4.3 New Experiments Related to the Proton Radius Puzzle

Several experiments are being run, are in progress, or are being considered. Efforts to performnew atomic hydrogen experiments in the next 5 - 10 years could help confirm the Puzzle exists,or instead indicate consistency in the muonic and electronic atomic physics measurements. Amuonic deuterium experiment has already occurred, and the results can be compared withthe electron-deuteron radius measurements to check for consistency. A new Jefferson Labexperiment [46] approved by PAC39 plans to measure very low Q2 electron scattering, from≈ 10−4 GeV2 to 10−2 GeV2, perhaps as early as 2015. We quote from Jefferson Lab PAC38:“Testing of this result is among the most timely and important measurements in physics.” TheMainz A1 Collaboration is also running a new, very low Q2 scattering experiment, measuringthe electron radiative tail and taking advantage of the relatively larger amount of pre-radiation,giving access to lower Q2. The electron experiments have the potential to partially resolve thepuzzle, if the issue is that the electron scattering and atomic hydrogen experiments are notextracting the correct radius.

This proposal concerns the MUSE experiment, R-12-01.2, at the PSI πM1 beam line, whichwill simultaneously measure μp and ep elastic scattering. The measurements allow a directcomparison of the scattering cross sections for μ’s and e’s, testing lepton universality and somepossible new BSM physics. Both beam polarities will be used, as the difference between positiveand negative polarity scattering is a direct measurement of two-photon exchange and is sensitiveto the hadronic physics explanation of the Puzzle. The radius can also be extracted from bothμp and ep scattering data, with reduced systematic uncertainties.

C.4.4 Previous Muon-Proton Scattering Experiments

There have been a number of previous μp scattering experiments that have directly tested leptonuniversality. These were largely done around the 1970s, with generally about 10% precision.

Here we mention three μp elastic scattering experiments, none of which were at small enoughQ2 to allow a radius extraction. Ellsworth et al. [47] found that cross sections in the range Q2

≈ 0.5 - 1 GeV2 were about 15% below the standard dipole parameterization, GE = GM/μp =(1 + Q2/0.71)−2 with Q2 in GeV2, and a similar percentage below modern form factor fits.Experimental uncertainties were similar in size and Ellsworth et al. interpreted the differenceas an upper limit on differences between μp and ep interactions. Camilleri et al. [48] coveredthe range 0.15 < Q2 < 0.85 GeV2, finding μp cross sections about 8% smaller than the electronscattering results and consistent within uncertainties. Kostoulas et al. [49] analyzed the ratio ofproton elastic form factors determined in μp and ep scattering as G2

μp/G2ep = N(1 + Q2/Λ2)−2,

with the result that the normalizations are consistent with unity at the level of 10%, and thecombined world μp data give 1/Λ2 = 0.051 ± 0.024 GeV−2, about 2.1σ from the electron-muonuniversality expectation of 0.

Entenberg et al. [50] similarly parameterized μp and ep deep-inelastic scattering differencesas a form factor, G2

μp/G2ep = N(1 + Q2/Λ2)−2, with a normalization consistent with unity at

the level of 4% and 1/Λ2 = 0.006 ± 0.016 GeV−2.Camilleri et al. [51] compared μ+p to μ−p elastic scattering cross section asymmetries to

1404271

search for two-photon exchange effects. No effects were found, with uncertainties at the level of 4→ 30%. Also, a Rosenbluth separation at Q2 ≈ 0.3 GeV2 showed no visible nonlinearities, withcross sections determined to about 4%. Current best estimates of the size of the nonlinearitiesin Rosenbluth separations for ep scattering are typically at the percent level.

The radius of 12C is one of the most precisely determined radii from electron scattering.Offermann et al. [52] analyzed world data including dispersive corrections to obtain rC =2.478 ± 0.009 fm. The charge radius can also be measured by determining the ≈90 keV X-rayenergies in muonic carbon atoms to several eV. Ruckstuhl et al. [53] found 〈r2〉1/2 = 2.483 ±0.002 fm. There is also a consistent result from μC elastic scattering [54], but with uncertaintiesan order of magnitude larger. Note that there are reasons why there might be a μ / e differencein the proton but not in carbon. Examples include opposite effects in the case of μn vs. μpinteractions, and the charge distribution in carbon resulting largely from orbital motion of thenucleons, in which there is no effect, vs. charge distributions of the nucleons, in which there isan effect.

To summarize, there is no evidence for lepton universality violation or two photon effects inμp scattering, but the constraints are poor. The carbon radius is well determined and consistentfor muon and electron measurements, the implications of this for the Proton Radius Puzzle arenot clear.

C.5 The MUSE Experiment

C.5.1 Overview

The Proton Radius Puzzle might arise from beyond standard model physics differentiatingbetween muons and electrons, novel hadronic physics that enhances two-photon exchange formuons, or issues and / or underestimated uncertainties in the determination of the radiusfrom experiments. The MUSE approach to resolving the Proton Radius Puzzle is to measuresimultaneously elastic μ±p scattering and e±p scattering. The μp scattering will be comparedto ep scattering at the cross section level, with extracted form factors, and ultimately withan extracted radius, to test lepton universality, whether the scattering data are consistent ornot. Measurements with the two beam polarities will be compared to determine the (real partof the) two-photon exchange, testing how large two-photon exchange is and whether it is thesame for muons and electrons. Thus MUSE investigates all aspects of the Puzzle: are the dataconsistent, and if inconsistent could it be two-photon exchange or BSM physics?

The high precision electron scattering experiments have typically used an intense, low-emittance beam incident on a cryotarget, with scattered particles detected by a high-resolution,small solid angle spectrometer. A low beam momentum muon scattering experiment involves alarge emittance secondary beam, which is 8 – 9 orders of magnitude less intense, and is likelycontaminated with electrons and pions. A high precision experiment in these conditions is pos-sible with several adjustments, which have only become possible in the past several years. Thelow intensity necessitates a large acceptance spectrometer and long run times. The large emit-tance necessitates measuring the individual beam particle incident trajectories. The presence ofseveral different particle species in the beam requires identifying each individual beam particletype. An advantage of the poor secondary beam is that it is easy to obtain essentially identi-cal beams of both charge signs, which allows a precise determination of two-photon exchangeeffects. The low muon intensity also eliminates target density fluctuations from beam heating.The electron contamination in the beam allows a simultaneous measurement of ep scatteringfor comparison with the muon scattering. The low luminosity allows use of a non-magnetic

spectrometer which can determine the solid angle more precisely than is typically possible witha magnetic spectrometer.

During 2012 and 2013, the MUSE collaboration has been studying the πM1 beam propertiesand testing equipment for the experiment. We have, for example, measured the beam particledistributions, determined the size of the beam spot, operated GEM chambers in the beam,tested a prototype beam Cerenkov counter, set up the MIDAS data acquisition system thatwe plan to use, added in PADIWA/TRB3 TDC boards that we plan to use for readout, anddone a simple scattering experiment / background study. Our plans for the experiment havecontinued to develop in light of these measurements, and are presented below. Beam tests areongoing, with additional tests under consideration for 2014, which we expect to further informour plans for the experiment. Assuming equipment funding from this proposal is availablestarting mid 2014 as requested, we expect construction activities to lead to a few month “dressrehearsal” measurement with beam line detectors and most of one spectrometer in late 2015.The dress rehearsal provides a high statistics, realistic study to investigate any potential issueswith the equipment as built or with backgrounds. Assuming analysis of this initial high statisticsmeasurement confirms the experiment functionality, and construction proceeds well, MUSE willbe ready to commence a two-year production run in summer 2016.

The success of the MUSE experiment requires measuring high quality cross sections. Statis-tical uncertainties are generally expected to be below the percent level. Relative uncertaintieson cross sections being measured at the same time need to be at a similar level. This re-quires a well understood, stable system with multiple checks of systematics. Also importantare precise determinations of the beam momentum distribution, which can be measured, andthe absolute scattering angle, which can be calibrated. The experiment also needs excellentbackground suppression, which is accomplished through a combination of time-of-flight andtrajectory measurements along with target-in / target-out comparisons.

C.5.2 Muon Beam Line

The PSI πM1 beam line provides a mixed muon / pion / electron beam with a ≈50 MHztime structure. We plan to run at three beam momenta, pin ≈ 115 MeV/c, 153 MeV/c, and210 MeV/c, selected to cover a kinematic range sensitive to the proton radius, to providedata overlaps to check systematics, and because at these three momenta with the expecteddetector geometry, the different beam particle types can be efficiently separated using RF timemeasurements. Magnet polarities can be reversed to allow the channel to transport eitherpositive or negative polarity particles. The πM1 beam is momentum dispersed (≈7 cm/%) atthe intermediate focal point (IFP), with a small beam spot (σx,y < 1 cm) at the scatteringtarget, but with tails out to a radius of about 2 cm. We use a combination of jaws before thefirst channel dipole magnet and a collimator at the IFP to limit the beam flux into beam linedetectors to a manageable 5 MHz.

C.5.3 Beam Line Detector Overview

We plan to use a beam Cerenkov detector at the intermediate focus and near the target toprovide time-of-flight and accelerator-RF-time measurements which will be used to identifybeam particle types. Because the beam dispersion is large, we use a set of GEM chambersbetween the target beam Cerenkov and the target so that the scattering angle can be welldetermined. The beam flux combined with the GEM time resolution require a scintillatingfiber (SciFi) detector to provide better timing that allows the triggering track and randomly

11

1404271

coincident background tracks to be identified.A significant fraction of beam line particles decay – about 10%/m for π’s and 0.1%/m for μ’s

at the momenta planned. An annular veto detector just upstream of the target will suppresstriggers from particle decays and scattering in the upstream beam line detectors. About 1m downstream of the scattering chamber we use a set of high precision beam scintillators tomonitor the beam flux and accelerator RF timing stability.

C.5.4 Cryotarget

Liquid hydrogen targets in vacuum systems are a mature technology. The MUSE target is arelatively easy target, as the beam power deposited in the target is a few μW. The main concernsthen are residual air in the vacuum system freezing to the target, and radiative heating of thetarget by the vacuum system; both issues can be ameliorated through a cold shield, using coolingfrom the first stage of the target cold head in the scattering chamber. The base line designis for the cryotarget system to have a target ladder containing the cryogenic cell, constructedfrom thin kapton, a dummy target for wall backgrounds, a carbon target for positioning, andan empty target position.

C.5.5 Scattered Particle Detector Overview

The base line design is for two identical charged particle spectrometers to measure scattering tobeam left and to beam right. On each side, two straw chambers track particles from the targetto the scintillators, determining the scattering angle in conjunction with the GEM chambers.Two planes of scintillator hodoscopes provide high resolution timing, high efficiency triggering,and limited position information.

C.5.6 Electronics and Data Acquisition

The bulk of the readout will use the new PADIWA/TRB3 TDC system developed at GSIin Darmstadt, Germany. The PADIWA boards convert analog to digital signals, with timesdetermined in the TRB3 to as good as 10 ps.3 The TRB3 is read out directly over GBit ethernetby data acquisition (DAQ) computers.

Since the PADIWA is a level discriminator, analog signals for scintillators will be fed intoCAEN v792 VME charge to digital converters for timing corrections. An equivalent system hasdemonstrated <50 ps timing for the planned high precision scintillators.

The digital signals for the beam Cerenkovs will be sent to a custom FPGA so that the beamparticle type can be determined for each beam particle; this allows triggering for incident e’sand μ’s along with suppression of π triggers. The scintillator phototube signals will be sentto a CAEN v1495 FPGA, which will identify that scintillator paddles in the front and backlayers have fired, consistent with a particle scattering from the target region. The combinationof beam particle type, scattered particle detected, and veto scintillator signals will be used toform the primary experiment trigger along with various additional triggers.

The trigger signal is distributed to the VME modules as gates for the charge conversion,and to the VME and TRBs to trigger the event readout. We have used the MIDAS dataacquisition system developed at PSI by Stefan Ritt for test runs, and plan to use it in MUSE.The experiment will generate of order 100 TB of raw data per year, which will ultimately be

filtered and compressed to reduce storage needs, but which will require purchase of storage asthis is not provided by PSI.

The hardware components of MUSE are largely established technology. SciFi detectorsare now common. The use of a quartz Cerenkov detector to provide ≈10 ps timing has beenprototyped by a group at Fermilab [55]. The GEM chambers exist already, having been usedin the OLYMPUS experiment at DESY. The high precision scintillators, used both in thespectrometer and for beam line monitoring, copy a design already constructed and tested forthe Jefferson Lab CLAS 12 upgrade. The straw chamber designs are based upon the PANDAexperiment straw chambers [56].

C.6 Collaboration Responsibilities

The core of the MUSE Collaboration has been conducting test runs and is committed to con-structing the experimental equipment, carrying out the measurements, and analyzing the data.The Collaboration spokespeople are R. Gilman, E.J. Downie, and G. Ron. The CollaborationCouncil consists of people taking responsibility for significant construction, software, or organi-zational tasks needed to get the experiment started. A summary of commitments to the basicequipment development and some other tasks is shown in Table 1.

C.7 Simulations and Data Analysis

Simulations and data analysis are important issues in the experiment, as in any precision cross-section experiment. Here we briefly comment on two issues arising from the mass differencebetween muons and electrons. Electron scattering analyses typically assume that me is smallcompared to other kinematic variables, such as Mp, Ee, and

√Q2. These assumptions do not

hold for muon scattering in the kinematics of interest.The cross-section formula without approximations is given by[

Here we have α the fine structure constant, E (E′) the incoming (outgoing) lepton energy, η =Q2/4EE′ (which is approximated as sin2(θ/2) for electrons), m (M) the lepton (proton) mass,θ the lab scattering angle, GE (GM ) the electric (magnetic) form factor, and

d =[1 − m2/E2

is a parameter which becomes approximately unity for electrons. The effect of the finite massterms is to make the cross section for muon scattering about a factor of 2 larger than the crosssection for electron scattering, in the kinematics of the proposed measurement.

Our initial simulations used GEANT4, and did not have a good physics event generator forlow Q2 elastic scattering. We are adapting the event generator design which was used initiallyin Mainz for their precision form factor measurement and which has been further refined for theOLYMPUS experiment. In its current form, the event generator generates electron (positron)scattering off a proton, applying radiative corrections according to the prescription of Maximonand Tjon, including the generation of all final state particles: scattered lepton, struck protonand radiated photon. The generator explicitly takes form factor evolution into account anddoes not make use of a peaking approximation. Two-photon exchange corrections are notincluded in the event generator, as they can be applied directly to the data to allow for tests ofdifferent calculations for both electrons and muons. We believe that the overall architecture ofthe generator can be used also for muon scattering, however the generator has to be adaptedto honor the different calculation of the radiative effects. In particular, lepton mass effects areessential for muon scattering since m2/Q2 is of order unity for MUSE, but for radiative eventsthe radiative corrections do not introduce additional uncertainties compared to the electronscase. We plan to compare this approach to the results of other event generators, in particularthose developed for other recent comparisons of electron/positron scattering.

C.8 PSI Commitments

In January 2013, the PSI PAC Chair, Cy Hoffman, stated about MUSE: “We are certainlyconvinced that the proton radius puzzle is an important physics puzzle, largely this lab isresponsible for that, and therefore it is totally fitting to finding a solution to it. So we approvethe experiment, we want to see it done. We are very pleased by the progress made last year inthe beam test, a lot of lessons were learned, a few things were not quite as optimistic as hoped,on the other hand there is nothing there which was a major problem.”

PSI has been an excellent host for our test beam time in 2012 and 2013. We were providedwith access to πM1, beam time, installation assistance, office space, access to infrastructuresuch as computer networking, and the use of large amounts of existing experimental equipment,such as electronics. The laboratory fixed problems in and upgraded the πM1 channel for ourtests: installation of an NMR to monitor dipole stability, installation of a collimator at theintermediate focus, and adjustments to quadrupoles to fine tune the positioning of the beamfocus. The laboratory will continue to make available for the experiment various electronicsthat we have been using for the beam test. The laboratory has also committed to supportingthe experiment, providing the slow controls system, chamber gas, and both high and low voltagesupplies needed for detector operations.

C.9 Schedule

MUSE was approved by the PSI PAC in January 2013, after an initial test run was carried outin Fall 2012. A second test run is being carried out in Fall 2013. These initial test runs have

14

1404271

studied beam properties and GEM chamber operations, and have tested prototype SciFi andbeam Cherenkov detectors, and have tested components of the DAQ.

Assuming equipment construction can start in mid 2014, most of the latter part of 2014 willbe spent constructing equipment. We have preliminary plans to also work on the DAQ readoutand certain other beam tests during the latter part of 2014.

About half of the experimental equipment can be pulled together in preparation for a dressrehearsal run in late 2015. The beam Cerenkov, SciFi, veto, and beam monitor detectors areall relatively small and can be assembled within a year. The wire chambers, cryotarget, andbeam scintillators all involve significantly more design and / or construction activities, and willrequire two years to complete if the construction goes well. This will allow much of one ofthe spectrometer arms to be pulled together for a dress rehearsal run to better understand thesystem functionality and appropriate triggering to suppress backgrounds. The cryotarget willnot be available for this dress rehearsal run.

The equipment, on being brought to PSI, has to be installed and commissioned. The timerequired to checkout and commission the detectors varies from weeks to months, and dependson the commissioning needed. Certain operating parameters will need to be rechecked andverified for each beam momentum setting. The FPGA triggers will for example be an ongoingprogramming task. During the initial run time it should be possible to provide a simpler trigger,and use the information obtained with commissioning data to program a more selective trigger.At each beam momentum the relative timing of particles changes, necessitating FPGA timingadjustments. Further, after the proton accelerator has gone down, RF timing changes of up to100 ps have been observed when beam returns, possibly requiring FPGA timing adjustmentsto optimize trigger performance.

We note that a precise measurement also requires an amount of kinematic overlap, measuringcross sections multiple times to ensure that the experimental systematics are well understood.In MUSE, the overlap is provided by using 3 beam momenta and two independent large solidangle spectrometer systems. A run with the spectrometer wire chambers rotated by a smallangle is also planned as a cross check. A run at a fourth beam momentum is being considered.

C.10 Broader Impacts

The Proton Radius Puzzle is arguably the most pertinent, controversial and timely issue inthe hadron physics community at this present time. It is one of the few issues in hadronphysics to have grabbed the attention of people outside the physics community. As such, asuccessful MUSE run that resolves the Radius Puzzle has the potential to be broadly reportedand inspirational beyond the boundaries of hadronic physics and even the broader physicscommunity.

On the personnel side, MUSE will be a research focus of several senior researchers forthe next few years, and will provide training for a similar number of postdocs and graduatestudents. Undergraduate students will be active in the construction effort and will be exposedto the current research topics and techniques. Undergraduates and a high school student havealready been involved in the project at Rutgers University, and are starting to be involved atGW. We note that Hampton University is an historically minority institution, and that RutgersUniversity has one of the most diverse student bodies in the nation.

On the equipment side, while MUSE uses largely existing equipment, it appears that MUSEwill likely be the first to demonstrate some new technologies in an experimental environment,such as the beam Cerenkov technique, the TRB3 readout, the individual beam particle trackingand the beam particle ID determination at the trigger level.

F SUMMARY PROPOSAL BUDGET

Budget JustificationThis collaborative proposal will fund the construction and operation of the MUSE experiment.The budget request from Rutgers University includes funding to construct two beam Cerenkovsdetectors, the beam scintillating fiber detector which will be subcontracted to our collaboratorsat Tel Aviv University, and the beam particle identification and trigger systems. It also includesfunding for one post-doc to work on the experiment, helping to coordinate the installation ofequipment and development of the experiment. A significant budget component is travel forthe experiment. The Rutgers request includes the cost of all travel needed for the experimentby all groups, except for money being requested by other groups building the equipment as partof this collaborative proposal. This has been done so that the total costs of carrying out theexperiment are known. If funding is awarded this way, collaborators from various institutionstraveling to PSI to work on the experiment or to collaboration meetings will have their travelcosts reimbursed through Rutgers rather than through their home institution.

Personnel:We request funding for one post-doc, which includes a 2% per year salary increase projection.

Fringe Benefit Rates:Post Docs - 37.8%

Domestic Travel:Domestic travel is not requestes. MUSE core collaborators communicate regularly throughemail, skype, and google hangouts, in addition to overlapping at meetings or at experiments.

International Travel:The travel request covers trips to install and commission the hardware being built by Rutgersand Tel Aviv, plus trips to run the experiment and to collaboration meetings.

Our recent experience and projection is that 1 week trips to PSI cost about $2460, 2 weektrips cost about $3840, and 1 month trips will cost about $6560. This includes round trip planefare of $1300, daily hotel plus food expenses of $160, and some additional expenses.

Costs of hotel rooms near PSI vary widely. Our preference is the PSI hostel, where currentroom charges are $42 - $63, without breakfast. We find that hostel rooms are available less thanhalf of the time. A few rooms are available in local hotels for $84 / day, including breakfast.Some are within (20 minute) walking distance of PSI, which avoids daily round trip bus far of≈$9/day. There are many hotel rooms available for about $120 - $130/day, nearly all requiringcommutes by bus. We estimate $100/day as the average hotel cost, including commuting.

The current meal per diem for Switzerland is $126 / day, or $100.80 if staying in a hotelthat provides breakfast. Rutgers travel policy allows per diem to be claimed. Our typical foodexpenses in Switzerland have ranged from about $40 - $70 / day. We estimate that most peoplewill claim actual food expenses leading to an average of about $60 / day.

This estimate is based on an average plane fare of about $1300. One additional expenseis that Americans working in Switzerland for more than 8 days in a year require a visa ($79).Travel to PSI also requires local travel expenses to and from airports. Round trip train betweenPSI and Zurich airport is currently about $55.

Out travel cost estimate includes an annual one week collaboration meeting centered at PSIat the time of the PSI PAC, for 10 people, or $24,600/year.

We assume running the experiment requires one person on shift at PSI plus one person attheir home institution doing replay, so that 3 people are taking 2-week trips at any point in

1

1404271

the run. The accelerator recently has run from late May to late December. With 15 2-weekshift periods per year, this costs 45 trips × $3840 / trip = $172,800 / year, for 2016 and 2017.With 12 of the 45 trips requested by collaborators, the Rutgers request is for 33 trips totaling$126,720. We also assume there are 8 such trips in 2014 and 16 in 2015 for prototyping /development and the dress rehearsal run, totaling $30,720 and $61,440 in these years.

We also intend experts on site at all times starting from the middle of 2015, for 30-daylong trips to support shift staff, fix problems, and do detailed data analyses. Generally theexperts will be post-docs and graduate students obtaining Ph.D.’s on MUSE. We plan to have(in addition to a Rutgers post-doc based at PSI) 2 people on site when beam is off, but 4 onsite when beam is on plus the month before, leading to 40 trips per year or $262,400 for theproduction running years of 2016-17 and 2017-18. Collaborating institutions have requestedfunding for 10 of the 40 trips, so the Rutgers request is for 30 trips totaling $196,800. For2015-16 with a shorter dress rehearsal run, we plan for 20 such trips for a total of $131,200.

Testing, installation and commissioning of the beam Cerenkov and trigger systems amountto $4920 in 2014-15 and $24,600 in 2015-16.

Equipment over $5k:The beam Cerenkovs are comprised of sapphire Cerenkov bars mounted with plastic fixtures

onto MCP-PMTs. Assembly also involves a small amount of optical grease, tedlar, and tape.The PMTs are mounted in an adjustable frame. Our cost estimate is based on our experiencefrom small beam Cerenkov prototypes plus quotes for the major components of the detector:MCP-PMTs for the readout and sapphire or quartz Cerenkov bars. The frame cost is a roughestimate as no engineering design has been done. Other expenses are minor.

The trigger system has 3 components. The first component uses two CAEN v1495 FPGAsto recognize hit patterns from about 200 phototubes, identifying a scattered particle event.The programming for this is relatively straightforward, and we expect this task to be doneby the Rutgers post-doc. The second component consists of a custom FPGA that performsbeam particle identification at 50 MHz, for particles a few ns apart. Here we anticipate that acustom FPGA system is needed. Based on a few hours discussion of system requirements, theRutgers electronics shop estimated that about two years of work are needed for prototyping,programming, and verifying the performance of the system. Hardware for the system, underPID System electronics will be about $10,000. The major cost related to the custom FPGAis the estimated 2 years of work by the electronics shop on this project at $45,000 / year foryears 1 and 2. This effort is largely devoted to FPGA programming, testing, and verification.The third component of the system is a third v1495 FPGA, which takes the beam PID systemoutputs, the scattered particle hit patterns, and the veto scintillator information to generatethe primary trigger. The Trigger System entry includes the cost of the v1495s and associatedextra I/O boards, based on quotes from CAEN, a crate to house the modules, based on recentquotes, and cables, based on those recently built by the Rutgers electronics shop for FermilabE906. Quotes will be provided to NSF if required.

Subaward:In addition to the beam Cerenkov and trigger systems, this proposal provides funding for

the beam Scintillating Fiber detector, which will be constructed through a subaward to TelAviv University. The subaward, which amounts to $109,955 in year 1 and $41,860 in year 2 ofthis grant, is detailed in a separate budget statement,

F SUMMARY PROPOSAL BUDGET

Budget JustificationThe Tel Aviv University (TAU) group led by Prof. Eli Piasetzky is committed to the design,construction, installation, and commissioning of the beam scintillating fiber (SciFi) detector,as well as to running the MUSE experiment. Funds will be subcontracted to TAU to cover thecosts of this project. The TAU group is already experienced in working with SciFi detectors,and provided a refurbushed SciFi detector used in the initial round of MUSE tests.

Personnel:No funding is requested for senior personnel. Funds are requested for one graduate student

for two years and four months of technician time for construction, testing, installation, andcommissioning of the SciFi detector.

Fringe Benefit Rates:No fringe benefits are charged by TAU for these personnel.

International Travel:The travel request of $6400 in the second year is for a two-week trip by the graduate student

and technician to install and commission the SciFi detector in the PSI πM1 beam line. Travelcosts are essentially the same as for US researchers going to Switzerland, except that the planefare is about $600 less.

Equipment over $5k:TAU considers that the Hamamatsu PMTs are capital equipment for which no overhead is

charged. The beam SciFi system uses 3 SciFi planes in UVY configuration, read out at eachend by a Hamamatsu 64 pixel multi-anode PMT. We plan to buy 8 such PMTs to have spares.Each is $3,440.

Supplies:TAU considers the other components of the SciFi detector as supplies subject to overhead.

The cost estimate for 300 m of scintillating fiber - the minimum quantity to order - fromKuraray is $6,300. The estimate for 400 m of clear fiber from Kuraray is $8,400. The estimatefor 6 PMT bases, from previous construction at TAU is $6,000. The estimate for 240 fiberconnectors, from previous construction at TAU, is $6,000. A rough estimate for a mountingframe - no engineering has been done - is $3,000. We also estimate that various constructionsupplies will add to $2,000. These supplies total to $31,700.

Indirect Costs:MTDC off campus rate of 15%.

Budget Justification The George Washington University

A. Senior Personnel:

Summer salary will not be requested for either PI on this grant, as agreed with NSF.

B. Other Personnel:

We request one full-time cryogenic technician to assist in the design, prototyping, construction, testing and installation of the liquid hydrogen target. This person will be full-time for all three years. ($237,000)

We request one post-doc whose activities will be 60% leading the design and construction of the cryo-target and 40% leading DAQ development. (S)he will supervise both graduate students working on the target and Data Acquisition System (DAQ), and will coordinate the final construction, transport and installation of the target and DAQ at PSI, at a total cost of $198,000.

We request one graduate research assistant for the target and one for the DAQ for two years each. Once they have finished design, development and construction, they will move on the data analysis of their PhD and as such, should move onto standard grant support. ($144,000)

We request two months of undergraduate research assistance support for cable prototyping and manufacture. Each RA will be paid $20/hr x 40 hrs= $800 per month.($3200) in Year 1 only.

C. Fringe Benefits

Fringe benefit rates of 25.3% of salaries and 6.1% of wages are predetermined from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, provisional thereafter, by DHHS agreement dated May 30, 2013.

D. Capital Equipment

The cost of design, construction and installation of the LH2 target was estimated from a survey of several groups who have recently built similar systems. (JLab Q-weak, Mainz A2, Bonn ELSA, HIGS, MAX-lab) The modified sum total of the sub-component costs based on this information comes to $298,000. See supplemental documents for breakdown. The Data Acquisition System for MUSE will be heavily based on the TRB3 system developed by GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. The TRB3s allow high performance and reasonable pricing for the many TDC channels we require. They will be combined with

1404342

PADIWA add-on boards for signal discrimination and splitting and a trigger distribution add-on-board in order to synchronize the main trigger with the TRB3 system. We also require multiple ADC channels, for which we have selected the CAENv792 in both positive (for the beam and scatter particle scintillators) and negative (for the SciFi and Cerenkov detectors) polarities. We will also require CAENv392 interface boards in order to connect the detector outputs to the board in an appropriate manner. The SciFi signals need to be split to multiple outputs, for which we plan custom-designed splitters. We require extensive cabling which we will construct. We will incur some costs for additional design and prototyping in order to custom-design and adapt two new specialist variations of the PADIWA boards, suitable for the varying characteristics of our detectors and their readout needs, for which we estimate a cost of $20,000. The data read out by the DAQ needs to be stored safely before reduction. We estimate of the order of 100TB will be produced and a 100TB RAID system with moderate properties currently costs $88,291. Including prototyping and data storage, the total capital equipment cost for the construction of the MUSE DAQ system is $338,018. The total cost of all capital equipment is $606,019, with $499,764 in Year 1 and $116,255 in Year 2.

E. Foreign Travel

The trip costs are estimated to be $1,300 for plane fare, an average of $100 per night for hotel costs and $60 per day for food. We also budget $100 visa fee and $200 for miscellaneous expenses per trip. Funds are requested to cover the costs of eight two-week trips ($3,840 per trip) in the first year between Target and DAQ preparation and eight one-month trips ($6,560 per trip) in the second year to complete installation and integration of the DAQ & target systems. In addition, funds are requested for three one-week collaboration meeting trips (2460 per person per trip) for three people in years one to three and two people in year four, after the postdoc leaves. We assume that in years three and four, three two-week trips, and four one-month trips will be needed per year. As a result the overall foreign travel budget totals $186,680.

F. Participant Costs: N/A

G. Other Direct Costs

We request $20,000 for external expert consulting services to assist in the cryogenic and mechanical design of the target. The consultant is expected to be needed for 16 weeks at a cost of $1,250 per week.

We intend to have a subcontract with Prof. Ron of Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel (HUJI). The subcontract will cover the design, construction, transportation and installation of the detector frames, support table and Straw Tube Tracking Detector for the MUSE experiment. The request is framed as a subcontract with HUJI as they have the requisite experience in mechanical and gas system construction and appropriate personnel facilities which will enable the timely and efficient completion of the detector systems in order to facilitate the earliest possible start date for the MUSE experiment.

1404342

(556,685)Six credits of tuition are requested for Years 1-2 for each Graduate Research Assistant calculated at the rate of $1512 per credit and increased 5% for each subsequent year. ($37,200)

H. Total Direct Costs: $1,973,595

I. Total Indirect Costs: $400,938The University’s on-campus F&A rate of 52.5% MTDC is predetermined from 7/1/11-6/30/15, provisional thereafter by DHHS Agreement dated 5/30/13.

Budget Justification

A. Senior PersonnelPrincipal InvestigatorThe PI does not require salary support.

B. Other PersonnelTwo graduate research assistants are required to construct, test and install the chambers in the experiment, at a cost of $30,000 per student per year, this totals $120,000 for two years construction. As the project is highly technical in nature, the assistance of a technician is required for the first two years at a cost of $60,000 over two years. This brings personnel costs to $180,000.

C. Fringe BenefitsThe Hebrew University graduate students who will work on this project are paid through stipend-based-fellowships so fringe benefits are not applicable.

D. Capital EquipmentThe Straw Tube Tracker (STT) for the MUSE experiment to be constructed under this project requires a gas distribution system for each of the 4 chambers; components are also required for the mixing apparatus to determine the gas mixture ratio. Additionally, the straw chambers will reside in individual frames that will be constructed at the Hebrew University machine shop and the entire assembly, along with other detector elements, namely, the Gaseous Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector, the Scintillating Fiber (SciFi) detector, and the Beam Cerenkov, will be mounted on a specially designed mounting fixture (table) that will allow accurate positioning of detector elements both for production data taking and for calibration and systematics runs. This table will be constructed under this project, partly by the Hebrew University machine shop and partly by an industry machine shop capable of handling larger fixtures.During the first year a small subset of the capital equipment is required, in order to allow for the production of the individual straws, the rest of the capital equipment will be purchased and machines during the second year before installation of the full system, at PSI.

Here we assume independent gas systems for each of the 4 chambers, for maximum flexibility. Components are from Bronkhorst Ltd. Approximate costs for each system include $2000 for an F-201C mass flow controller, $1750 for an F-111B mass flow meter, $2700 for a P-702CV pressure meter / controller, and $1500 for connectors and plumbing. Thus the gas system estimate for each chamber is $7950. In addition there will be two F-201C mass flow controllers and valves and plumbing to hook up gas bottle and determine a common mixing ratio for the chambers, for a cost of about $4200. Thus the total gas system cost is $36,000. One system plus the common components will be needed in the first year for the chamber construction project.

E. TravelDuring the second year of this project, after construction and testing of the system has been completed at the Hebrew University, the complete system will be transferred to PSI. Two graduate students will then travel to PSI for a month in order to install and commission the system. Airfare refers to estimated air fare from Israel. Per diem for the PSI area is at present $126/day. As breakfast is included with hotel stays, this is reduced to $100.80/day. In practice we find that actual food costs usually are in the range of about 20 CHF/day to 60 CHF/day, depending on eating habits and hotel location. Here we assume that the average request is about $60/day.Additional costs in a trip (travel to airport, local transport etc.) can amount to about $200.

Switzerland requires foreign citizens working at PSI to obtain a visa if they work in Switzerland for > 8 days per year, thus the trip will require a visa. Here we assume the total cost of obtaining a visa is $100.

E1. Domestic TravelNo domestic travel is required.

E2. Foreign TravelFunds are requested to support the 2 graduate students for 1 month at PSI in the second year of the project for the installation of the chambers.A breakdown of costs per person is listed in the table below:

G1. Materials and Supplies

The chamber design copies the recent straw tube design for the PANDA tracker, presented in arXiv:1307.4537 by Gianotti et al. Cost estimates are based on their recent construction project of a 10,000 straw system.The design uses pressurized thin-walled straw tubes -- over 4x thinner than the straws used by Rutgers and William & Mary for the JLab FPP straw chambers, minimizing multiple scattering.Straw spacing is 1.01 cm, and adjacent offset straw planes are centered 0.87 cm apart. High tracking efficiency requires 5 planes of straws in each direction, which will be 4.5 cm thick. X and Y planes combined will be about 9 cm thick.There will be two wire chambers for each spectrometer, one centered about 30 cm from the target of size about 60 cm x 55 cm, and one centered about 45 cm from the target of size about 90 cm x 80 cm.No stereo planes are needed. The low beam flux reduces the likelihood of multiple interacting beam particles, and most secondaries are forward going delta or Moller electrons. The rear scintillators provide a crude 2d position which should generally allow extraction of multiple tracks in the rare cases when theyoccur.These assumptions lead to 2 rear chambers each with 400 90-cm long vertical straws and 450 80-cm long horizontal straws, and 2 front chambers each with 275 60-cm long vertical straws and 300 55-cm long horizontal straws. The total number of straws in the system is 2850. It is necessary to purchase about 10% extra components to account for waste and spares. Here for cost estimates we assume 3100 1-mlong straws. All costs have been converted from Euros at a rate of $1.35/Euro, and rounded to the nearest $100.

A. Senior Personnel

Summer salary equivalent to 0.5 months is requested for the PI in the summer of 2014 (budget year 1)and 2015 (budget year 2). For the second year a 2% increase has been factored in. The PI has summersalary in 2014 of 1.5 months from the DOE Early Career award. The current NSF grant PHY-1207672,which is not providing any summer salary support, is expected to be renewed effective August 1, 2015,to then include further summer salary for the remainder of 2015, and for 2016-2017.

B. Other Personnel

1. Postdoctoral Associate

Currently two postdoctoral associates are working with Dr. Kohl (Dr. Anusha Liyanage and Dr. PeterMonaghan), the former is funded by the NSF Nuclear Physics research grant PHY-1207672 awardedto Dr. Kohl in 2012, the latter is funded by Dr. Kohl’s DOE Early Career Award which was awardedin 2010. The NSF funded postdoc will be focused on MUSE. Grant PHY-1207672 is to be renewed insummer 2015. Expecting continued support for this postdoc, no further postdoc funds are requestedwithin the present proposal.

3. Graduate Students

One graduate student (Ozgur Ates) is presently supported under the existing NSF grant PHY-1207672,another (Bishoy Dongwi) is supported through the Dr. Kohl’s DOE Early Career Award DE-SC0003884.No further graduate student funds are requested. The presently NSF-funded graduate student OzgurAtes is expected to graduate in the spring 2014 term with his work on OLYMPUS, and a new studentwill then be supported to work on MUSE.

4. Undergraduate Students

Stipends for two undergraduate students mainly for the summers of 2014 and 2015 for construction andtesting of the newly produced GEM elements are requested, see Section “F. Participant Support Costs– 1. Undergraduate Student Stipends”.

C. Fringe Benefits

The fringe benefit rate at Hampton University amounts to 22.88%.

D. Equipment

The equipment to be funded by this proposal is for acquisition of the parts to construct a spare set ofGEM detectors with readout electronics including spares for MUSE at PSI, to be arranged in a thirdtelescope. Currently there are two GEM telescopes each consisting of three GEM elements alreadyoperated at PSI. These existing telescopes, originally funded by an NSF/MRI grant, were transferredfrom the OLYMPUS setup at DESY, which was disassembled in 2013. One telescope will be usedto provide the 3D beam tomography of the incoming secondary beam. The other two telescopes are

1

1404252

planned to be used in a left-right symmetric arrangement at 5◦, to measure the rate of symmetric andcoincident M/o ller and Bhabha tracks for the purpose of luminosity monitoring.

Table 1 shows a breakdown of the cost.Only the items listed under “Electronics” are included in “D. Equipment”, which are free of indi-

rect charge. All electronics needed to operate the third telescope are included in the first budget year($17,669). The NIM electronics to set up the symmetric M/o ller/Bhabha telescopes and spare electron-ics items are requested in the second budget year ($28,019) The costs for electronics with APV frontendcards, VME system and NIM electronics has been estimated based on updated quotes, and on actual

costs experienced for the OLYMPUS GEM detectors built in 2011. The costs for “Detector parts” and“Additional materials and supplies” have been included in “G. Other Direct Costs - 1. Materials andSupplies”.

E. Travel

Travel funds are required for PI and postdoctoral staff to enable commutes between Hampton Universityand PSI during the construction phase in 2014-2015, and for the running phase in 2016-2017. Travelfunds for the graduate student are requested under “F. Participant Support Costs – 2. Student Travel”.

The Hampton University postdoc and graduate student are considered to be members of the coregroup spending extended times at PSI for installation, commissioning and running of MUSE.

For the estimation, a breakdown into 1-week, 2-week and 4-week trips is considered. A 1-week tripto PSI is estimated with $2,420, a 2-week trip with $3,840, and a 4-week trip with $6,560, composedof $1,300 plane fare, average food ($60) and accomodation ($100) per day, incidentals of $200 for localtransport, and a $100 visa fee for work visits > 8 days. The Hampton University meal allowance limitof $32 per day is not adequate for the cost of food in Switzerland, instead it shall be explicitly allowedto charge food expenses up to the maximum per-diem allowance of $126 per day for the PSI area ofSwitzerland for all travel to PSI.

For the PI, two 2-week trips are requested for each year, with an additional 1-week trip to attendthe January collaboration meeting in 2015, 2016, and 2017. For the postdoc, two 4-week trips per yearare requested for the installation and commissioning phase in 2014 and 2015, and four 4-week tripsper year in the running phase in 2016 and 2017, plus one additional 1-week trip to attend the Januarycollaboration meeting in 2015, 2016, and 2017. The corresponding totals are $20,800 (2014), $25,720(2015), $38,840 (2016), and $38,840 (2017).

Travel expenses for one graduate studente are requested under Section “F. Participant Support Costs– 2. Student Travel”.

F. Participant Support Costs

1. Undergraduate Student Stipends

This project provides opportunity for two undergraduate students to contribute to the construction andtesting of the GEM detectors. Stipends for two undergraduate students are requested in the amount of$10,000 per student per year. The assembly and testing of prototypes for the GEM detectors for MUSEin 2014-2015 represents an attractive on-campus effort for undergraduates. It is proposed that thesestudents be physics majors with an interest in continuing on to graduate school, and that they maintaina grade point average of 3.0 or above. Student stipends at Hampton University are not subject to fringebenefits (Sec. C.) and indirect charge (Sec. I.).

2. Student Travel

The Hampton University graduate student is considered to be a member of the core group spendingextended times at PSI for installation, commissioning and running of MUSE.

As discussed in Section “E. Travel” a 1-week trip to PSI is estimated with $2,460, a 2-week trip with$3,840, and a 4-week trip with $6,560. Student travel authorization shall apply to either graduate orundergrduate students. For experiment preparation and detector commissioning in 2014 and 2015, two4-week trips for one student are requested in each year. For running in 2016 and 2017, four 4-week trips

3

1404252

per year are requested. An additional 1-week trip for one student is requested to attend the Januarycollaboration meeting at PSI in 2015, 2016, and 2017. The corresponding totals are $13,120 (2014),$15,580 (2015), $28,700 (2016), and $28,700 (2017). Student travel costs are not subject to indirectcharge.


1. Materials and Supplies

The costs for “GEM detector parts” broken down under A) in Table 1 amounting to $14,020 are includedin the first budget year. Costs for frames, GEM and HV foils are based on updated quotes; the costs forreadout layer and trigger scintillators are based on actual purchases for the OLYMPUS experiment. Thecosts for “Additional materials and supplies” listed under C) in Table 1 of $13,000 are split betweenthe first and second budget year, of which $8,000 for items such as cables, gas piping, HV dividers,gas supplies, small parts and miscellaneous items for the detector construction and commissioning arerequested in the first year. In the second year, $5,000 are requested for incidentals.

6. Other

Shipping – Transport of the additional GEM elements, two VME crates and electronics items requiretwo shipping crates. Based on the shipping experience for similar items shipped to the OLYMPUS atDESY in Hamburg, Germany, $1,000 per crate per shipment way results in $4,000 for both crates toand from PSI, split evenly between the second (2015) and fourth budget year (2017).

I. Indirect Costs

The Hampton University Indirect Cost Rate is 48%, applied to everything other than equipment andstudents and participants support.

M. Cost-Sharing

Hampton University will provide a secretary as program manager for the nuclear experimental group.HU recently constructed and furnished a new research building on campus, which has space dedicatedto the group, including a large bay for detector construction, two additional laboratories, one of whichhas been used for the construction of the OLYMPUS GEM detectors, a new computing facility, andseveral offices. Occupancy of the new building has begun in fall 2010. Hampton University is operatinga Particle Physics Computing Facility (PPCF) with over 500 CPU cores and 120 TB disk space. Itserves as a Tier 3 ATLAS computing facility and a simulation computing center. It is also currentlyused by the experimental nuclear physics group for Minerva data analysis and simulation. The PPCFcomputing cluster will be available for offline analysis and simulation of data from the MUSE project.This proposal also leverages substantial support from Jefferson Lab, which will provide at no charge:office space and computing support for Dr. Kohl and HU students, as well as partial salary support forDr. Kohl.

1. Senior Personnel

The USC principal investigators are funded by the group’s regular NSF grant, which includes in its scope also theresearch of the MUSE experiment. We are not making a funding request for senior personnel.

2. Other Personnel

Graduate Students To help support and oversee the construction project we request support for one graduatestudent for a total of one year with a salary of $23,500; following the spread of the construction over two yearswe request half of that amount ($11,500) in year one and the remaining half ($11,500) in year two. Once thegraduate student is shifting his efforts from the construction toward physics projects of the MUSE experiment thestudent will be covered by the group’s regular NSF grant.

Undergraduate Students Supervised USC undergraduate students will construct the detectors. The processincludes the inspection and testing of the plastic scintillator, masking the ends of the scintillator with tape exceptfor a circular window, gluing the PMTs to the ends of the bar, wrapping the bare counter with precision-cutaluminized Mylar and DuPont Tedlar foils, cosmic-ray testing of the counter, and securing the counter to itssupport structure. The work is done in batches of six scintillation bars at a time; 19 batches will be processed tocomplete the project. From our FToF12 experience we estimate that two students will work for 72-hours on onebatch, on average. With a compensation of $12 per hour the total undergraduate manpower cost $32,832 in totalover two years, not including the fringe benefits. We request half the amount (16,416) in year one and the secondhalf (16,416) in year two.

3. Fringe Benefits

The University of South Carolina fringe benefits are 0.55% of graduate and undergraduate students salarieswhen enrolled and regularly attending classes; the fringe benefits are 8.29% when not enrolled during summer.For this budget we assume that the main part of the construction will be done during the summer months andassume 8.29% for fringe benefits.

4. Permanent Equipment

We request funding to build scintillation detectors for the MUSE experiment. These detectors are:

• Two scattered-particle time-of-light detectors to the left and to the right of the beam-line; each consistingof a front and a larger back scintillator walls. Each front wall includes 17 plastic scintillation bars (2 cm ×6 cm × 112 cm) with two PMTs at the long ends per bar ($109,058 material for two walls). Each backwall includes 27 plastic scintillation bars (6 cm × 6 cm × 211 cm) with two PMTs at the long ends per bar($221,054 for two walls).

• One down-stream beam monitor consisting of 6 plastic scintillation bars (1 cm × 6 cm × 36 cm) with twoPMTs at the long ends ($14,645).

• One veto ring detector consisting of 8 trapezoidal plastic scintillators with one PMT per scintillator ($11,923).

Table 1 gives an overview of the detector components and their cost. Items 1 through 4 are fast BICRON BC-404plastic scintillators. The prices are based on a quote from Saint-Gobain Industrial Ceramics, Inc. dated 09/30/13.Item 5 are Hamamatsu R9779 photomultiplier tubes (PMT). We will equip each scintillation bar with two PMTs andthe trapezoidal scintillators with one PMT each. The PMT price is based on a quote from Hamamatsu PhotonicsK.K. dated 09/19/13. The combination of BC-404 scintillators and the fast R9779 PMT was instrumental toachieve high time resolutions of about 50 ps in the 2-m long bars of the JLab FToF12 detector. The similarlyfast counting and high-precision timing requirements of the MUSE experiment make this combination also ourchoice. Items 6 and 7 include supply to connect the PMTs to the scintillators, assemble, and wrap the detectors inlight-tight foils. Item 8 allows the scintillation bars of the TOF walls to be mounted on their support structure. Cost

1401974

estimates for items 6, 7, and 8 are based on actual expenses for the JLab FTOF project. The total material costfor our construction project, including a SC use tax of 8%, is $356,681. We request half that amount ($178,340)in year one and the second half ($178,340) in year two.

5. Travel

Travel from USC to PSI is necessary for the successful completion of the project. One of us will attend yearlyMUSE collaboration meetings in each of the four years of the project’s duration; item 1 in Table 2. After building thescintillation detectors we expect two of us to stay at PSI for one month (31 days) to mount, test, and commissionthe detectors at PSI; item 2. Our graduate student is expected to stay at PSI for extended periods of time duringthe two-year data-taking phase of the experiment. We estimate four one-month long trips in total; item 3. Othermembers of our group will make additional 14 trips to PSI for two-week long experiment shifts; item 4.

6. Participant Costs

No request.

7. Other Direct Costs

Shipping The transport of the detectors to PSI requires appropriate shipping crates with foam sets. For theFToF12 project 16’-long crates were used at a cost of about $2,800 each. For this project we need two of thesecrates with a length of 9’. We estimate the cost per crate to be $1,800 or $3,600 in total. We estimate theshipping charges for these two crates to and from PSI at a total weight of about 3,500 lb to be $10,800 eachway or $21,600 in total, including insurance. This estimate is based on an online result for UPS Air Freight dated10/11/1713.

Tuition Abatement We request funds for tuition abatement for the graduate student. The number of coursesour students take vary. Here, we assume 15 credit hours per year, including the summer months. The budget isbased on the current part-time tuition fee of $485 per credit hour or $7,275 in total. The tuition abatement is notused in the calculation of the indirect costs.

8. Indirect Costs

The on-campus training and service rate is 33% of the total direct costs excluding equipment and tuition.

9. Summary

Funding is needed over four years. A summary of the requested funding over these four years is given in Table 3.

H FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER RESOURCES

Laboratory:The Rutgers group has about 2000 sf of lab space at Rutgers University, which will be

used in part for initial detector assembly at Rutgers. Most of the detector work will be carriedout at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland. The available space at PSIincludes the πM1 area, about 1000 sf, the πM1 counting house, about 200 sf, and about 200 sfin the offices and lab space of the group of K. Deiters, which has hosted our previous work at PSI.

Computers:Data acquisition will use several existing computers at PSI, along with a disk farm being

requested through this proposal. Rutgers personnel have individual PC’s generally runninglinux. Primary data analysis will carried out on these and other work stations. All computersare on the network with internet access; the computers at PSI are behind a firewall. BothRutgers and PSI have common resources such as printing, email, web page hosting, etc.

Offices:Faculty and staff have individual 200 sf offices. Graduate students are typically three to

an office with another desk in lab space. Myers has an office at JLab. PSI has committed toproviding us additional office space on site when needed.

Major Equipment:We have had ongoing access to significant amounts of PSI electronics for testing in the πM1

beam line, including NIM and VME modules (discriminators, fan in / fan outs, level adapters,logic, TDCs, and computer interface), computers, cables, connectors, low- and high-voltagesupplies, and oscilloscopes. The beam line itself comes with standard ancillary equipment.

Other Rutgers Resources:Rutgers Physics & Astronomy has both machine and electronics shops within the depart-

ment. Both have been very active in support of our previous research and FPGA prototypingand programming work will be done by the electronics shop. The department also supports afull time scientist (Kumbartzki) who spends approximately one-quarter of his time on supportthe intermediate energy group. We have also been able to use at no cost various optical testingequipment in the Fiber Optics Department to test Cerenkov bars in the past. Prof. Gilman isPI of the proposed project and contact person for the experiment. As such, he is responsible foroverall coordination of the collaboration in addition to overseeing work on the beam Cerenkovsand trigger, and the beam scintillating fibers through the subaward to Tel Aviv University.

Rutgers activities on MUSE are already covered in part by funding of the Rutgers groupthrough grant NSF-PHY-1306126, which supports 2 graduate students, 1 post-doc, and sum-mer salaries for Profs. Gilman and Ransome. Currently MUSE is a major activity for Prof.Gilman and our post-doc, but not for the others supported by this grant. The grant alreadysupports some international travel, enough to cover about 3 1-week trips per year to PSI.

Resources at Tel Aviv University:Tel Aviv University has a similar level of facilities and resources – lab space, machine and

electronics shops – to those at Rutgers University. Prof. Piasetzky is Co-PI for the project,leads the Tel Aviv group, and is responsible for overseeing the scintillating fiber constructionand commissioning.

GW’s Institutional Environment Supports Research

In 2007 setting a goal of becoming a top-tier research institution, the GW Board of Trustees appointed as its 16th President Dr. Steven Knapp, and soon after, recruited Leo Chalupa as Vice President for Research, Steve Lerman as its Provost and Dr. Terri Reed as its Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion. It has since replaced six vice presidents and nine deans across the University with leaders who are actively recruiting research-oriented department chairs and funded investigators focusing on recently-established research initiatives. Several schools have recently appointed dozens of new researchers; GW is building a Science and Engineering Hall that will nearly double the space dedicated to fostering research and learning in the science and engineering disciplines. GW’s Division of Information Technology hired Brian Ensor to serve as Assistant Vice President of Technology Architecture and Research Services. Their office is enhancing GW’s administrative research support systems and also expanding researchers’ abilities to manage big data generated by their research. NSF recently awarded Brian Ensor and University of Maryland the campus cyberinfrastructure-network infrastructure (CC-NIE) grant to help move large volumes of research data in a faster, more secure and cost effective manner -- Professor Briscoe was a member of the team that helped put this grant together.

The Office of the VP for Research (OVPR) provides financial, administrative, and logistical support to major collaborative grant submissions and a high level of support to researchers. These activities and resources are resetting research as a priority at GW. Over the last five years, OVPR specifically has provided some support from Centers and Institutes Facilitating Fund Financial support to the GW Institute for Nuclear Studies to support collaborative efforts leading to success in promoting scholarship and advancing GW's reputation.

The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) has provided for the recruitment of faculty, startup package, lab space, computer access, intellectual resources, leadership, professional development opportunities for individual faculty, some of whom are members of this proposal. The Virginia Science and Technology Campus (VSTC) has provided laboratory and office space to several members of this proposal and in in the process of rebuilding and outfitting a professional machine shop specifically for the use of researchers at VSTC, including members of this team. Dr. Ali Eskandarian a nuclear physicist and Professor of Physics within our the Physics Department is Dean of VSTC and the College of Professional Studies has and will continue to support out efforts at VSTC. Within the Physics Department our Chair Dr Allena Opper provides leadership, mentoring, the infrastructure for department professional development, especially for our recent faculty hires. She has negotiated significant startup packages and benefits for our latest hires, some of whom are members of our team. Through the infrastructure of the Institute for Nuclear Studies successful collaborative activities with other departments and schools, including a University Seminar in Nuclear Energy and development if a curriculum for training for future policy makers and regulators in the areas nuclear energy, nuclear weapons, nuclear materials control, regulation and compliance.

Facilities, Equipment, and Other Resources

Hampton University is a historically black college (HBCU) located on Virginia’s tidewater peninsula, about12 miles from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and about 8 miles from the NASA LangleyResearch Center. The HU Physics Department offers BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in physics, with about30 graduate students and 15 regular faculty in the department. According to American Institute of Physicsstatistics, HU graduates over half of the doctoral degrees in physics awarded to African-Americans annually.

Labs:

Hampton University is hosting the new HU Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI), a 98,000 square foot cancertreatment facility, complete with clinical beam line and treatment equipment, which started operations in2010. In addition to the new HUPTI beam line, HU has constructed a new, on-campus research building thatwhich houses the entirety of the nuclear experimental group’s campus activities in a dedicated, 13,000 squarefoot space. About half of the first floor is dedicated to activities of the experimental nuclear physics group,including a detector construction bay, three additional laboratories (one of them used for GEM detectorconstruction), a computing facility, office space, and a shielded radiation hot lab. The hot lab operationwill be licensed by both the State of Virginia and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, giving the groupthe ability to order and use various radioactive sources for detector testing. The nuclear physics group hasbegun to move into this new space in 2010. The HU Center for the Study of the Origin and Structure ofMatter (COSM) at Hampton University is operating a Particle Physics Computing Facility (PPCF) withover 500 CPU cores and 120 TB disk space. It serves as a Tier 3 ATLAS computing facility and a simulationcomputing center. It is also currently used by the experimental nuclear physics group for Minerva dataanalysis and simulation. The PPCF computing cluster is also available for use by other researchers in NSFsponsored areas for offline analysis, simulation and storage of data, and will be utilized for training students.In addition to the direct facility resources, the group has excellent access to machine shops and electronicsdesign labs at the nearby Jefferson Lab, where a partnership agreement is in place. The physics depart-ment, furthermore, has a 1,300 square foot class-10,000 clean room for component preparation and moduleconstruction.

Office:

Dedicated office space for senior personnel, technical associates, and students is provided by Hampton Uni-versity. The group also uses individual offices and an office bay at Jefferson Lab shared by faculty, postdocsand students. Hampton University will continue to provide a secretary as program manager for the nuclearexperimental group.

J Data Management Plan

J.1 Data

The MUSE experiment will generate of order 100 TB of raw data1, comprised mainly of digi-tized information indicating signal times and amplitudes from readout of the MUSE detectors.Additional information includes accelerator timing information from the fast data acquisitionsystem, scaler counts, trigger patterns, and slow controls information. Understanding and ana-lyzing the raw data requires access to detailed decoding information and specialized knowledgeof how the various component devices of the experiment function and are read out. All ofthe needed raw information and specialized software for the analysis of the experiment will bestored. Analysis tools needed for the various components of the experiment will be developedprimarily by software and individual detector experts working together.

The raw data are “cooked”, reduced to a significantly smaller set of calibrated physics data.The cooked data are further processed into various formats such as plots of distributions ofevents vs physics variables, raw and corrected cross sections, and quantities derived from crosssections. We will publish cross section data when publishing articles. All raw and cooked dataand analysis software will be available to all members of the collaboration.

J.2 Metadata

Metadata for the raw data is maintained mainly in several electronic logbooks, using the MIDASelog format. The elogs contain information on the apparatus, the runs, and various conditionsrelated to the runs. The logbooks are at present maintained at the laboratory behind its firewall,and have indefinite storage time. The logbooks will be mirrored at MUSE institutions.

J.3 Policies for Access and Sharing

All data sets are available to all members of the collaboration. Release of data to non-collaborators is only with the agreement of the collaboration. There is no data which dealswith classified or sensitive materials. Processed data with the resulting interpretation will bedistributed through formal publication, presentations at conferences, and theses. MUSE sharesdata internally through two private password-protected web sites in addition to the elog. Onesite is behind the PSI firewall. MUSE will maintain a public repository of publicly releasedpresentations including such data, available through a collaboration web site. Currently, theMUSE public website is http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/∼rgilman/elasticmup/.

J.4 Policies and provisions for re-use, redistributions, and the production ofderivatives.

Published data may be used in accordance with copyright laws, with full attribution to thecollaboration expected.

J.5 Plans for Archiving Data

The raw MUSE data will be archived on an experiment owned disk cluster, and kept for anindefinite period. Processed data will be stored in multiple locations. Permanent storage offinal results is archived through publications and their supplementary materials and theses.

1Since the raw MUSE data is mainly backgrounds, we expect to minimize the amount of data by filtering andcompressing the stored data.

I POST-DOCTORAL AND STUDENT MENTORING PLAN

We expect the MUSE experiment to be a core project for about 5 postdocs and as well as a Ph.D.project for a similar number of graduate students. These individuals will come mainly fromthe core institutions constructing the MUSE apparatus as part of this collaborative researchproposal. We expect this group will include one graduate student and one postdoc from Rutgers,with the postdoc funded by this grant.

For many years the Rutgers group has been fortunate to have excellent postdocs. Thesevery talented and hard working individuals have joined us with already well developed skillsin various aspects of experimental physics. They know at various levels how to plan, set up,run, and analyze experiments, and how to give presentations to collaborators. We encouragethem to further develop these capabilities, and to broaden their knowledge and skills so developexpertise in basically all aspects of being experimental physicists, from generating proposals topresenting results at meetings and writing papers. At the postdoc level in particular we try toavoid micromanagement and encourage independence.

It is particularly important that the postdoc supported by this grant be such a highly skilled,independent individual. The person will become the onsite MUSE representative, with nearlycontinuous electronic contact but only occasional face-to-face contact with the PI. She or he willinitially be working largely by herself or himself at PSI, until new equipment and collaboratorsstart to visit. For this role, we will have to work with the postdoc to ensure that they arefamiliar with procedures at PSI and that they develop expertise in all aspects of MUSE.

Our discussions with our postdoc will initially focus on their greater responsibilities, withan emphasis on self-directed, independent work. Due to the nature of this project, we have toencourage them to spend only minimal time in finishing up on their responsibilities towardstheir previous work. We will nevertheless encourage them to think about alternatives to improvethe experiment along with possible future efforts.

Giving effective presentations is an important skill for professional physicists. We give adviceon giving effective presentations, and when possible review the presentations both before andafter they are given, with constructive criticism to improve presentation skills. We supportpost-docs giving conference presentations, and ensure they are given adequate opportunitiesfor professional growth by attending essential meetings and conferences. This improves theirvisibility, so important for advancement, and their comfort level when giving talks.

We also typically involve post-docs in preparation of funding requests, to help them developtheir knowledge of what is needed in a grant proposal, and to start giving them skills in grantproposal writing.

Our postdocs are generally interested in an academic or research lab track, but in somecases we have, to the best of our abilities, make post-docs aware of non-academic track jobs,and the skills required, with the help of the APS and university career services.

The George Washington University has a set policy for the mentoring of postdoctoral fellows. As faculty of The George Washington University we will follow these.

Mentors: • Are responsible for guiding and monitoring and evaluating postdoctoral appointees. • Must make clear goals, objectives, and expectations for the postdoctoral appointees. • Must communicate regularly and frequently with the postdoctoral appointee. • Must provide regular and timely assessments of the postdoctoral appointee. • Must provide career advice and job placement assistance. • Must mentor with an emphasis on development of independence including providing

detailed advice and assistance on the development of a specific research project. At the time of the initial appointment:

• A Postdoctoral Fellow/External Fellow shall be given a written notice of appointment. This notice will include the following:

• Mentor’s name • Begin and end dates of the initial appointment • Whether the appointment is renewable and the conditions for renewal • Salary/Stipend amount and source of funding • Work eligibility requirements for U.S. citizens and non-citizens • A copy of the postdoctoral appointment guidelines • A summary of benefits or corresponding website information

Annual Reviews: To foster a postdoctoral appointee’s development, the mentor shall:

• Conduct an annual review • Use the template research evaluation form available from the Office of Vice President of

Research. Requirements for annual reviews:

• A written summary shall be provided to and signed by the postdoctoral appointee. • A review will be conducted whenever an increase is proposed for a postdoctoral

appointee. • All written evaluations will be sent to the Office of Vice President of Research.
