The LBNE long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has been proposed as a major program in beam neutrino and non-accelerator physics that will explore neutrino flavor mixing and CP violation, nucleon decay, and supernova neutrino bursts, with sensitivities beyond those of experiments currently in operation or under construction. Characterizing its key features, LBNE can be described as...

MINERvA (Main INjector ExpeRiment v-A) is a few-GeV neutrino-nucleus scattering experiment using the high intensity NuMI beam line at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The MINERvA detector is a fine-grained scintillator tracking detector capable of making precision measurements of low-energy neutrino and anti-neutrino interactions. The experiment was designed to help provide insight...

The IsoDAR experiment uses a novel isotope decay-at-rest (DAR) source of electron antineutrinos using protons from a 60 MeV cyclotron. Paired with KamLAND, the experiment can observe over 800 thousand inverse beta-decay events in five years and do a decisive test of the current hints for sterile neutrino. Daedalus is a phased program leading to a high-sensitivity search for CP violation. The...
