Neutrino Scattering on Glass: NuSOnG

Abstract

These proceedings describe the physics goals and initial design for a new experiment: NuSOnG -- Neutrino Scattering On Glass. The design will yield about two orders of magnitude higher statistics than previous high energy neutrino experiments, observed in a detector optimized for low hadronic energy and electromagnetic events. As a result, the purely weak processes ${\nu }_{\mu }+e^{-}\to {\nu }_{\mu }+e^{-}$ and ${\nu }_{\mu }+e^{-}\to {\nu }_e+{\mu }^{-}$ (inverse muon decay) can be measured with high accuracy for the first time. This allows important precision electroweak tests and well as direct searches for new physics. The high statistics also will yield the world's largest sample of Deep Inelastic (DIS) events for precision parton distribution studies.
