July 19, 2001 E6: Astro/Cosmo/Particle Experiments Snowmass Closing Plenary July 19, 2001 Tim McKay University of Michigan The place of “ACP” in fundamental physics ACP was there at the birth of fundamental physics Relativity from Michelson-Morley Discovery of the proton, electron and neutron with natural radioactivity Discovery of the muon, positron, and other particles with CR beams The universe: a well equipped lab ACP plays a key role now Watershed discoveries: Expanding universe (1920’s) Dark matter (1930’s) Black holes (1970’s) Neutrino oscillations (1990’s) Dark energy (3 years ago…) Explosive advance in cosmology A goal: take fundamental physics beyond the standard model The requirement: pursue every promising approach Busy, diverse, highly incomplete schedule E6.1 CMBR experimentation: Staggs 7/6: Next Generation CMB Experiments: Polarization 7/7: Next Generation CMB Experiments: Sunyaev-Zeldovitch E6.2 Dark matter detection: Nelson 7/7: Existing Dark Matter Experiments 7/9: Future Dark Matter Experiments E6.3 The history of expansion/dark energy detection: McKay 7/11: Current Status of Dark Energy Experiments 7/14: Future of Dark Energy Experiments E6.4 Underground experiments: Lesko 7/11: Double Beta Decay 7/13: Next Generation Solar and Supernova Neutrino Experiments 7/17: Proton Decay Experiments 7/16: A National Underground Laboratory E6.5 High energy astrophysics/cosmic rays: McKay 7/10: Large Astrophysical Neutrino Detectors (w/Barwick) 7/17: Future Cosmic Ray Experiments (w/Thompson) 7/13: Future Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Experiments (w/Buckley) E6.6 Tests of gravity/gravity waves: Nelson 7/4: Future Tests of Gravity and General Relativity The “particle” part of E6 Particle experiments Sometimes astrophysical beams Dark matter direct detection Emphasis on WIMPs and Axions Underground experiments Solar neutrino experim
