TL;DR
The RADAR project aims to deploy a 6 kton liquid argon TPC at Ash River to enhance physics research and R&D for LBNE, leveraging the NuMI beam and fostering international collaboration.
Contribution
It proposes a full-scale liquid argon TPC deployment at Ash River, integrating R&D with physics goals and improving LBNE project prospects.
Findings
Enhanced physics capabilities for NOvA program
Development of full-scale TPC module assemblies
Potential improvements in LBNE project timeline and costs
Abstract
In the RADAR project described in this Letter of Intent, we propose to deploy a 6 kton liquid argon TPC at the NOvA Far Detector building in Ash River, Minnesota, and expose it to the NuMI beam during NOvA running. It will significantly add to the physics capabilities of the NOvA program while providing LBNE with an R&D program based on full-scale TPC module assemblies. RADAR offers an excellent opportunity to improve the full Homestake LBNE project in physics reach, timeline, costs, and fostering international partnership. The anticipated duration of the project's construction is 5 years, with running happening between 2018 and 2023.
