Description

The Frontier for Rare Processes and Precision Measurements explores fundamental physics with intense sources and ultra-sensitive detectors. It encompasses seeking tiny deviations from Standard Model expectations in properties and transitions of elementary particle and searches for extremely rare processes. The Frontier for Rare Processes and Precision Measurements experiments use precision measurements to probe quantum effects and employ sophisticated theoretical techniques for their interpretations. These experiments typically investigate new laws of physics that manifest themselves at higher energies or weaker interactions than those directly accessible at high-energy particle accelerators. These experiments require the greatest possible beam intensities of electrons, muons, photons or hadrons, as well as large detectors, which provide an opportunity for substantial new discoveries complementary to other Frontier experiments.

Please follow the links to the Topical Groups below to learn about specific topics, experiments, and theoretical methods employed in the Frontier for Rare Processes and Precision Measurements.

Report and Report Schedule

Final versions of contributed papers (white papers) are due March 31; preliminary Topical Group reports are due May 6; preliminary Frontier-wide report is due June 31; a final report will be done shortly after Snowmass. We hope everyone will be in contact so that the process is not purely sequential.

The Executive Summary of the RPF Frontier is available https://www.dropbox.com/s/wh3csmuh0xtnuac/RareAndPrecisionReport.pdf?dl=0 here. Please comment using the Google Doc link below.

Meetings:

Mailing lists and SLACK channels:

  1. Send an e-mail message to listserv[at]fnal.gov
  2. Leave the subject line blank
  3. Type “SUBSCRIBE NAMEOFLIST FIRSTNAME LASTNAME” (without the quotation marks, and replacing NAMEOFLIST with the corresponding name of the list you want to subscribe to, e.g. SNOWMASS-RP-FRONTIER or SNOWMASS-RPF-01-HEAVY-QUARKS) in the body of your message.

SLACK channels

  1. Go to https://snowmass2021.slack.com/ If your institution's domain is on the list, join in.
  2. If your institution is not on the list, send an email to any of the Frontier's conveners to get an invitation.
  3. If you subscribe to the general email list SNOWMASS then you will be signed up for the snowmass2021 Slack workspace as well.

Submitted LOI

Here is the list of submitted LOI to this frontier. First index before “/” corresponds to the primary frontier used for the submission. Please go to the “topical” group to see the LOIs submitted to specific topics. Documents with “RF0” will be shown only here (no specific topic).
