Neutrino Oscillation Studies with Laser-driven Beam Dump Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new mechanism is suggested for efficient proton acceleration in the GeV energy range; applications to non-conventional high intensity proton drivers and, hence, to low-energy (10-200 MeV) neutrino sources are discussed. In particular we investigate possible uses to explore subdominant ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations at the atmospheric scale and their CP conjugate. We emphasize the opportunity to develop these facilities in conjunction with projects for inertial confined nuclear fusion and neutron spallation sources. PACS: 14.60.Pq, 52.38.Kd, 41.75.Lx

Future Neutrino Oscillation Facilities
An outline of the present and future long-baseline neutrino facilities with emphasis on the possibilities at CERN is presented. Accelerator-made neutrinos for long-baseline oscillation experiments open the exploration to a broad and rather interesting field of physics experiments, with the measurement of the neutrino mixing angle (θ13), the determination of the sign of neutrino mass hierarchy (...
متن کاملThe EUROnu Study for Future High Power Neutrino Oscillation Facilities
The EUROnu project was a 4 year FP7 design study to investigate and compare three possible options for future, high power neutrino oscillation facilities in Europe. These three facilities are a Neutrino Factory, a neutrino superbeam from CERN to the Frejus Laboratory and a socalled Beta Beam. The study was completed at the end of 2012 and has produced conceptual designs for the facilities and p...
متن کاملFuture Neutrino Oscillation Facilities
The European Commission FP7 Design Study called EUROnu is undertaking R&D on the most critical components of three possible candidates for a future, high intensity neutrino oscillation facility that could be built in Europe. These are a low energy neutrino Superbeam from CERN to the Fréjus tunnel in France, a Neutrino Factory and a Beta Beam based on 8 Li and 8 B ions. The study is following th...
متن کاملA MONOCHROMATIC NEUTRINO BEAM FOR θ13 and δ a
The goal for future neutrino facilities is the determination of the [Ue3] mixing and CP violation in neutrino oscillations. This will require precision experiments with a very intense neutrino source. Here a novel method to create a monochromatic neutrino beam based on the recent discovery of nuclei that decay fast through electron capture is discussed. The boost of such radioactive ions will g...
متن کاملThe EUROnu Project: A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe
EUROnu is a European Commission funded FP7 Design Study investigating three possible options for a future high intensity neutrino oscillation facility in Europe. These options are a CERN to Fréjus Super-Beam, a Neutrino Factory and a Beta Beam. The aims of the project are to undertake the crucial R&D on each of the accelerator facilities and determine their performance and relative cost, includ...
