Low Energy Neutrino Factory Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 designs for higher energy Neutrino Factories, but has an improved bunching and phase rotation system, and new acceleration, storage ring and detector schemes tailored to the needs of the lower energy facility. Our simulations suggest that the NF scheme we describe can produce neutrino beams generated by ~1.4 10 per year decaying in a long straight section of the storage ring, and a similar number of decays. PACS: 41.75.-i, 41.85.-

Optimisation of future long baseline neutrino experiments
The aim of this talk is to review near and far future long baseline neutrino experiments as superbeams, β -Beams and neutrino factories, comparing their sensitivities to the unknown parameters in the neutrino oscillation sector. We focus on the extraction of the neutrino mass hierarchy, exploring alternatives to the commonly used neutrino-antineutrino comparison. Special attention to a new conc...
متن کاملRecent Progress towards a Cost - Effective Neutrino Factory Design
A Neutrino Factory, sending > 10 20 decay neutrinos per year from a high-energy stored muon beam towards remote detectors, has been suggested as the ultimate tool for precision measurement of the neutrino mixing matrix. Following two rounds of design studies that focused primarily on feasibility, the latest such study has begun the process of cost optimization. New ideas include muon 'phase rot...

We discuss the optimization of a neutrino factory for large sin 2θ13, where we assume minimum effort on the accelerator side. This implies that we use low muon energies for the price of an optimized detection system. We demonstrate that such a neutrino factory performs excellent if combined with the electron neutrino appearance channel. Instead of the platinum channel operated with the muon neu...
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 کاملThe Neutrino Factory
This talk will present arguments that the Neutrino Factory an extremely intense source of flavor-tagged neutrinos from muon decays in a storage ring gives the best physics reach for CP violation, as well as virtually all parameters in the neutrino oscillation parameter space. It will describe the physics capabilities of a baseline Neutrino Factory as compared to other possible future facilities...
