DAEδALUS is an experiment being developed by Professor Janet Conrad to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector using a single detector and multiple accelerator-based neutrino sources at various distances. Bates accelerator physicists and engineers have contributed to evaluation of the appropriate accelerator technology for the experiment, at approximately 0.2 man-year of effort for…

A new experiment to search for a dark force particle, A´, in the mass range 10-100 MeV, DarkLight, was proposed for the JLab FEL by Prof. Peter Fisher and Prof. Richard Milner. The experiment received approval with an A rating from the June 2012 JLab PAC39 with final approval granted in June 2013. Bates staff…

The purpose of the NuDot project is the construction of a prototype directional liquid scintillator detector. It will achieve this by using state-of-the-art photodetectors with picosecond timing and novel scintillators to separate Cherenkov light from scintillation light. The prototype will start with 140 2″ PMTs for timing and 72 large (8-12″) PMTs for light collection.…

Project 8 is a new experiment led by Professor Formaggio, employing a novel technique to measure neutrino masses. The mass of electrons from tritium beta decay would be measured by detecting the frequency of the cyclotron radiation as the electrons pass through a high magnetic field. A conceptual sketch of the experiment is shown in…
