Radiation Protection Lessons - Experiences with operating beams for neutrino experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
The high demand for more intense neutrino beams is closely related to an increase of the production of radioactive isotopes in target caverns, decay tunnels and hadron stop areas. This paper gives a (short) summary of radiation protection lessons learned from the past CERN neutrino facility WANF and also from presently operating facilities like NuMI or CNGS.

1 β - beams : R & D challenges in FP 7
As a quite novel concept for producing pure flavour neutrino beams, the beta-beam project presents several R&D challenges requiring careful studies. In the centre of these, the production of radioactive ion beams of beta-decaying nuclides of intensities orders of magnitudes higher than achieved so far has triggered various investigations. This article focuses on the production and beam preparat...
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Sections at HERA and Beyond
The sources of very high energy cosmic rays should also be sources of neutrinos. While the complete scheme of ultrahigh energy cosmic ray production is not yet understood [1], ancillary to cosmic ray production are neutrino fluxes, both at the source of the cosmic rays and through cosmic ray propagation and scattering with the microwave background. Given that neutrinos are unabsorbed and undefl...
متن کاملFuture 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 (...

We will start with a brief overview of neutrino oscillation physics with emphasis on the remaining unanswered questions. Next, after mentioning near future reactor and accelerator experiments searching for a non zero θ13, we will introduce the plans for the next generation of long-baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments. We will focus on experiments utilizing powerful (0.7 2.1 MW)...
متن کاملAccelerator and Reactor Neutrino Experiments
Since the first detection of the neutrino at reactors [1] and the discovery of the νμ at the Brookhaven AGS [2], accelerators and reactors have been used to provide intense beams of neutrinos. Over the last 30 years, experiments with neutrino beams have played a major role in shaping the Standard Model of particle physics as it is known today. At present, electroweak theory is more conveniently...
