Description
We propose to build a new national facility, a Beamline Instrument for MeV-scale particle and nuclear Physics (BLIMP), to be housed at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility at ANU and Melbourne. BLIMP will be a Time Projection Chamber, an advanced particle detector for tracking electrons in three dimensions.
It will be capable of a broad science program encompassing searches for new particles (the X17 anomaly, Axion-Like Particles, Dark Photons) and violations of the Pauli principle with world-leading sensitivity, and globally unique nuclear physics measurements of quantum mixing in internal pair decays.
