Fermilab Neutrino Program – Accelerators & Experiments

We provide an overview of the Fermilab neutrino program, including details for both the accelerator and experiment aspect of the program. On the accelerator side, the current operation of the proton complex is presented, alongside the status of the upcoming PIP-II upgrade and the newly proposed ACE-MIRT upgrade. On the detector side, the SBN and NOVA programs are presented, as well as the status of the upcoming DUNE/LBNF upgrade. The Fermilab neutrino program planning is contextualized in terms of the recent P5 report, as well as ongoing discussions on future flavor and collider programs.

Bayesian Optimization For Accelerator Tuning

Tuning the accelerator during operational hours is a tedious yet essential aspect of managing any experimental facility. This process significantly reduces the beam time available for experimenters, as diagnosing issues and making corrections can take hours. Automating or facilitating the normal beam line tuning process would be highly beneficial.
