2. Outline  Neutrino Physics (1 slide)  ANL-HEP Group Activities  NO A work, an overview of extrusions  A few “collaborativeness” comments

3. What next for physics? A Groucho Marx Question *, “Two of the three mixing angles have been measured. What should we do next?” * At the end of the show, Losing contestants would get questions with obvious answers, so that everyone won some money.

7. The Site ν ν ν ν ν ν ν ν 1051 m 280 m Double Chooz Reactor Experiment

8. Double Chooz work Chicago & ANL had previously collaborated on the Braidwood idea, led by Chicago Chicago working on outer veto, originally designed at ANL ANL working on calibration & software, pioneered at Chicago

9. NO A Long-Baseline detector plastic filled with scintillator An admirer 32-cell extrusions. The planes alternate horizontal and vertical.

10. NO A size Kevin McFarland -2005 WIN Athens meeting 15.7m

11. How to extrude (Extratech)

12. CREEP tests To answer the question, “Will NOvA fall over?

13. Latest data point, invalid due to uncontrolled temperature CREEP tests To answer the question, “Will NOvA fall over?” 1 week

14. How to lift it

15. How to move extrusions

16. How to glue extrusions

17. How to measure extrusions

18. Some thoughts about FNAL/ANL collaboration on NO A  During NO A’s dark days, ANL hung in there and perservered, to the betterment of the NO A project now  During Fermilab’s dark days, Fermilab was still kind to ANL-HEP regarding paying for past NO A work  Outside HEP, ANL has engineering expertise which could be a valuable resource for NO A.
