The MECO Experiment

The physicists who designed MECO (Muon to Electron

COnversion) wish to observe an event so rare (1 in

10^17) that searching for it can be compared to trying to

find a single slightly different penny in 400 years of the

national budget! To perform this search, they plan to make

a beam of 100 billion muons per second, or 1,000 times

more intense than the best muon beam in the world, now

at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.

The MECO experimental apparatus

What they are looking for is a muon that, instead of decaying by way of the

weak force into an electron and 2 neutrinos, converts “cleanly” into an electron.

The observation of muon-to-electron conversion would signal the existence of a

fifth unseen force in the Universe, and entire families of particles now only

predicted by theory. Just as the physics of Isaac Newton could predict the

behavior of matter in the everyday world, but failed at speeds near the speed of

light, the current Standard Model appears to break down when it tries to predict

the behavior of particles at extremely high energies. Theorists have been

working hard on new explanations, for example, Supersymmetry, which implies

the existence of a hidden universe of currently unknown particles underpinning

the matter we observe to date.

NSF Terminates Rare Symmetry Violating

Processes (RSVP) Project

August 11, 2005

The National Science Foundation today terminated a planned physics project called RareSymmetry Violating Processes (RSVP) originally slated to begin construction this year atBrookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island.

At the recommendation of NSF management, the National Science Board, NSF'spolicymaking body, voted to cancel the RSVP project while it was still in the design stage,due to large increases in both construction and operating costs. The project had beenbudgeted at about $145 million for construction between Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 and 2010.

The project's two experiments - intended to investigate the relationship between theelectron and its heavier cousin the muon, and to examine differences in the behavior ofmatter and antimatter - were to be conducted through added incremental use of anexisting Brookhaven particle accelerator called the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron(AGS), which currently serves as the source for a project called the Relativistic Heavy IonCollider. In recent months, the future budget and operating schedule of the RHIC facilityhave become uncertain. Since the plan for RSVP was to use the AGS in an incrementalmode, uncertainty in the future of the RHIC project translates into increased risk andpotential increased costs for RSVP. There were also cost increases in other elements ofthe project.

"Although the discovery potential of RSVP remains high," said Michael Turner, NSFAssistant Director for Mathematics and Physical Sciences, "continuing the RSVP project inthe present budgetary environment would lead to an unacceptable loss of researchopportunities in elementary particle physics and other areas of science. While this decisioneliminates a significant elementary particle physics project, NSF reaffirms its strongcommitment to work with our partners in the funding of elementary particle physics toensure that the United States can continue to operate at the frontiers of this field, inwhich the discovery opportunities are so rich."

NSF initially approved RSVP for inclusion in the agency's budget request in October 2000,and RSVP appeared in the President's FY 2005 budget as a new construction project. Inthe fall of 2004, a pre-baseline analysis revealed additional costs that could double thecost of construction and more than double the cost of operations.

NSF initiated a process to reach a decision about how to deal with that situation. Thisprocess included obtaining advice from the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel on thecurrent scientific value of RSVP, and conducting a rigorous baseline review of the projectby external experts. At the end of the evaluation, NSF management recommendedtermination.

In announcing its decision, the NSB noted the loss of the science opportunity.Brookhaven's Alternate Gradient Synchrotron is the highest-intensity high-energy protonsource in the world. The intensity of the proton beam delivered by the AGS would haveenabled NSF-funded university researchers to search for very rare events that couldreveal the effects of new elementary particles and forces far above the energy reach ofany current or future terrestrial particle accelerator.

Following today's action by the National Science Board, NSF will work with RSVP on anorderly phase-out of activities over the next few months.

• Unprecedented purity of muon beam

* Reduced contamination of electrons and pions

* Shorter lifetime of muonic atom is allowed

* Variety of nuclei as a target material

* Systematic experiments leads to a new handle to the new physics?

Neutron distribution• Proton distribution is well determined through scattering

experiments

• Neutron distribution is only poorly known

• Assumption of

* Expected from isospin invariance from nuclei with the same number of neutrons and protons

* Good approximation for light nuclei

* Experimental data on neutron distribution only available for limited number of nuclei

* Gives insight to the tendency of the Z-dependence of the conversion amplitudes and rates

Hadronic atom spectroscopy

• A hadron (e.g. pion, antiproton) trapped in an atomic orbital, goes down to lower energy state emitting X-rays

• Annihilates through strong interaction between nucleus at n = 3, 4, or higher ––– far from the nucleus

• Two observed quantities: Energy shift and decay width

• Functional form of nucleon distribution is assumed; often Fermi function

• Nucleon distribution inside the nucleus is extrapolated from outside according to the assumed function

• More direct observation of nucleus interior

• Nucleon distribution is often expressed in terms of Fourier-Bessel series

Neutron distribution

• Assumption of

* Light nuclei: Good approximation by isospin symmetry

* Heavy nuclei: Muonic atom orbital is inside the nuclei, while extra neutrons are at the periphery

Summary• LFV provides a valuable handle toward the physics

beyond the Standard Model.

• LFV conversion search is a clean and informative experiment.

• Pure muon beams enable conversion search for various nuclei.

• Nuclei with Z ~ (30 – 60) give large conversion amplitude and rate.

• Measurements of conversion rate for various nuclei are useful to distinguish the theoretical models.
