An international scoping study of a Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility

چکیده
Executive summary This document presents a plan for an international scoping study of a future accelerator neutrino complex. The physics case for the facility will be evaluated and options for the accelerator complex and neutrino detection systems will be studied. The principal objective of the study will be to lay the foundations for a full conceptual-design study of the facility. The plan for the scoping study has been prepared in collaboration by the international community that wishes to carry it out; the ECFA/BENE network in Europe, the Japanese NuFact-J collaboration, the US Muon Collider and Neutrino Factory Collaboration and the UK Neutrino Factory collaboration. CCLRC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory will be the ‘host laboratory’ for the study. The study will be directed by a Programme Committee advised by a Stakeholders Board. The the international scoping study was launched at NuFact05 in Frascati on the 26 June 2005. The conclusions of the study will be presented at NuFact06 and published in a written report in September 2006.

This report summarises the conclusions from the detector group of the International Scoping Study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-Beam neutrino facility. The baseline detector options for each possible neutrino beam are defined as follows: 1. A very massive (Megaton) water Cherenkov detector is the baseline option for a sub-GeV Beta Beam and Super Beam facility. 2. There are a number of ...
متن کاملInternational Scoping Study Interim Report
Introduction The International scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-beam Facility (ISS) was established at NuFact 05 to survey the possibilities available for a future complex for precision neutrino physics to succeed the super beam experiments (T2K in Japan and Noνa in the USA) currently under construction. The possibilities centre around developments of the superbeam concept w...

Executive summary The international scientific community has recognised the fundamental importance of the observation of neutrino oscillations. Of the challenges that face the particle-physics community, understanding the physics of flavour and the observed hierarchy of particle masses are two of the most important. The properties of the neutrino are unique: its mass is tiny compared to that of...
