The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (the IDS-NF) has recently completed the Interim Design Report (IDR) for the facility as a step on the way to the Reference Design Report (RDR). The IDR has two functions: it marks the point in the IDS-NF at which the emphasis turns to the engineering studies required to deliver the RDR and it documents the present baseline design for the facility which will provide 10 muon decays per year from 10 GeV stored muon beams. The facility will serve one neutrino detector situated at a source-detector distance of between 1500 km and 2500 km. The conceptual design of the accelerator facility will be described and its performance will be summarized.

Neutrino Factory R&D and the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory
2 The Neutrino Factory is the most powerful machine devised to study neutrino oscillations. It is also the first step towards muon colliders. A worldwide program of R&D experiments and a design study are taking place at the moment, with the aim of delivering a credible design and cost estimate by 2012. The scientific highlights of this program are presented.
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 کاملAn international scoping study of a Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility
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...
متن کاملEmittance Measurement in MICE
A muon collider [1] may be the optimal way to study high-energy lepton-antilepton collisions, and a neutrino factory [2] based on a muon storage ring may be the ideal tool for the study of neutrino oscillation and the search for leptonic CP violation. Ionization cooling [3, 4], while not yet experimentally demonstrated, is essential for highluminosity muon colliders and has been shown by simula...

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...
