Low Energy Neutrino Factory Design
The design of a low energy (4 GeV) Neutrino Factory is described, along with its expected performance. The Neutrino Factory uses a high energy proton beam to produce charged pions. The decay to produce muons (), which are collected, accelerated, and stored in a ring with long straight sections. Muons decaying in the straight sections produce neutrino beams. The scheme is based on previous de...
متن کاملPhysics performance of a low-luminosity low energy neutrino factory.
We investigate the minimal performance, in terms of beam luminosity and detector size, of a neutrino factory to achieve a competitive physics reach for the determination of the mass hierarchy and the discovery of leptonic CP violation. We find that a low luminosity of 2×10(20) useful muon decays per year and 5 GeV muon energy aimed at a 10 kton magnetized liquid argon detector placed at 1300 km...
متن کاملPhysics with Low-energy Muons at a Neutrino Factory Complex
The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could deliver muon beams with intensities 3–4 orders of magnitude higher than available now, with large freedom in the choice of the time structure. Low-energy muo...
متن کاملHigh-energy emission from off-axis relativistic jets
We analyze how the spectrum of synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation from a narrow relativistic jet changes with the observation angle. It is shown that diversity of acceleration mechanisms (in particular, taking the converter mechanism (Derishev et al. 2003) into account) allows for numerous modifications of the observed spectrum. In general, the off-axis emission in GeV-TeV energy range a...
متن کاملHigh Energy Neutrino Astrophysics
Since early this century it has been known that a steady stream of charged nuclei, and to a lesser extent electrons and photons, reaches the Earth. The origin of the cosmic radiation, however, has not be explained satisfactorily. Finding an answer to this apparently simple question is complicated by the fact that extensive knowledge of several physical disciplines is required for an appropriate...
