Mission Need
• The LBNE Project is
being planned in
response to the
Mission Need put
forward by the DOE
Office of High
Energy Physics.
• CD-0 was approved
by the DOE Deputy
Secretary on
January 8, 2010.
SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment
The LBNE Science Collaboration plans a comprehensive experiment
to fully characterize neutrino oscillation phenomenology using
• A high-intensity, broad-band neutrino beam
• A sophisticated near detector
• A 1300 km baseline
• An advanced liquid argon time projection chamber far detector
The goals of this program are:
• Determining leptonic CP violation and neutrino mass ordering
The recent discoveries confirm that this a scientifically well
motivated, comprehensive, and stunningly beautiful program.
• Underground physics, including the exploration of proton decay
and supernova neutrinos.
SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

A Phased Program
The U.S. Department of Energy has stated their intention to
carry out this program in a phased manner.
• The LBNE Project is the first phase
– focuses on accelerator neutrino oscillation physics
– includes the beam and a 10 kt fiducial mass liquid argon
TPC at the surface, 1300 km from Fermilab
• Subsequent phases are planned to include:
– A highly capable near neutrino detector
– A larger far detector, placed deep underground
– Higher beam power that will be enabled by Project X
Additional national or international collaborators could
increase the scope of the first phase of LBNE or accelerate
the implementation of subsequent phases.

Procurement Strategies – Far Detector
Major FD engineering/fabrication/construction is planned:
•
•
•
Far Detector cryostat: contract with a construction management
company under a design-build contract, who will subcontract with one
of the two cryostat vendors and coordinate the construction. Expect to
award design contract in late FY13, full design-build contract in FY16.
Far Detector cryogenic systems: traditional design-build contracts with
several sub-components >FY16
• Refrigeration plant/LN2 re-liquefier
• Liquid argon storage and liquid nitrogen storage vessels and
receiving area
• Re-condensers for the cryostats
• Purification system vessels and components
• LBNE has the responsibility for the interconnections and the
integration coordination.
Time Projection Chamber (TPC): >FY16
• Major components such as stainless steel frames will be
commercially produced in fabrication shops.
• Components such as wire and FR4 components are commercially
available.
• Assembly and testing will be done by labs & universities.
SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012
21
Procurement Strategies – Conventional Facilities
• CF Near Site (Fermilab)
– Existing large A/E master contracts are already in place at
Fermilab - Burns & McDonnell, HDR, AECOM - selection of one
of these A/E’s for design is underway
– Similarly with pre-construction CMs: Jacobs, Parsons,
PMA/Patrick
– FY13: Geotechnical site investigation & test embankment
– FY14-16: CF NS design
– FY15: Award construction contract for embankment
• CF Far Site (SURF)
– All design and construction work will be executed through
contracts with SURF
– SURF will do best value selection for Excavation, Infrastructure,
and pre-construction CM consultants in FY13.
– FY13: Geotechnical site investigation
– FY14-15: Design for CF FS
SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012

Conclusions
• The LBNE Project will enable a world-leading program
that will address profound questions about nature.
• It will deliver
– An intense neutrino beam
– A near site detector system to characterize the n beam
– A 10 kton LAr TPC detector 1300 km from the n source
• The Project anticipates CD-1 approval in 2012.
• Cryo engineering and CF A/E contracts for design will be
initiated with CD-1 approval.
• Major construction and fabrication will begin in 2017.

Alternatives Analysis
First Pass: Full LBNE
LBNE has explored a wide range of “big picture”
alternatives, including:
• The experimental baseline => 1000 km < L < 1500 km
• The location of the proton source: FNAL vs. BNL
• Neutrino beamline configuration: deep or shallow;
Main Injector extraction points MI-10 vs. MI-60
• The far detector location: Homestake vs. alternates
• The far detector technical configuration: Liquid Argon vs.
Water Cherenkov; detector depth => 4850 feet
• Near Detector technology: scintillator tracker, straw-tube
tracker, LAr TPC; with or without magnetic field
SPAFOA Meeting – 13 Nov 2012
28
Alternatives Analysis
Second Pass: Phase 1 of LBNE Program
The 1st pass yielded the configuration of the “full” LBNE, whose
cost could not be accommodated by the DOE in a single project
=> Reopen the alternatives analysis
Process led by Fermilab-Directorate-Appointed Steering
Committee: www.fnal.gov/directorate/lbne_reconfiguration/
Alternatives considered:
• Lower cost alternatives that could achieve some of the scientific
goals, with a shorter baseline using the existing NuMI beam.
• Phased program that could achieve all the scientific goals in
phases over time, with possible first phase options including:
– Large detector underground at SURF, beam to be built later
– Beam and near detector, far detector to be built later
– Beam and small far detector on the surface at SURF, near detector
and full-size underground far detector to be built later
This is the LBNE Project
