Status of MICE

Muon ionization cooling is the only practical method for preparing high-brilliance beams needed for a neutrino factory or muon collider. The muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE) under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory comprises a dedicated beamline to generate a range of input emittance and momentum, with time-of-flight and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pure muon beam. A first measurement of emittance is performed in the upstream magnetic spectrometer with a scintillating-fiber tracker. A cooling cell will then follow, alternating energy loss in liquid hydrogen with RF acceleration. A second spectrometer identical to the first and a particle identification system will measure the outgoing emittance. Plans for measurements of emittance and cooling are described.Comment: Poster presented at ICHEP08 Conference, Philadelphia, USA, July 2008. 3 pages, 3 figure

Physics of An Ultrahigh-Statistics Charm Experiment

We review the physics goals of an ultrahigh-statistics charm experiment and place them in the broader context of the community's efforts to study the Standard Model and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, and we point out some of the experimental difficulties which must be overcome if these goals are to be met.Comment: 9 pages, no figure

A New Experiment to Study Hyperon CP Violation and the Charmonium System

Fermilab operates the world's most intense antiproton source, now exclusively dedicated to serving the needs of the Tevatron Collider. The anticipated 2009 shutdown of the Tevatron presents the opportunity for a world-leading low- and medium-energy antiproton program. We summarize the status of the Fermilab antiproton facility and review physics topics for which a future experiment could make the world's best measurements.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Proceedings of CTP symposium on Supersymmetry at LHC: Theoretical and Experimental Perspectives, The British University in Egypt, Cairo, Egypt, 11-14 March 200

Comment on "The Phenomenology of a Nonstandard Higgs Boson in W_L W_L Scattering"

We show that in Composite Higgs models, the coupling of the Higgs resonance to a pair of $W$ bosons is weaker than the corresponding Standard Model coupling, provided the Higgs arises from electroweak doublets only. This is partly due to the effects of the nonlinear realization of the chiral symmetries at the compositeness scale.Comment: 6 pages, BU-HEP 94-2

CP Violation from a Higher Dimensional Model

It is shown that Randall-Sundrum model has the EDM term which violates the CP-symmetry. The comparison with the case of Kaluza-Klein theory is done. The chiral property, localization, anomaly phenomena are examined. We evaluate the bulk quantum effect using the method of the induced effective action. This is a new origin of the CP-violation.Comment: 15pages, Proc. of Int. Workshop on "Neutrino Masses and Mixings"(Dec.17-19,2006,Univ.of Shizuoka,Japan
