Physics potential of beta - beams
نویسنده
چکیده
Beta-beams is a novel concept for the production of neutrino beams exploiting boosted radioactive ions which decay through beta-decay. Here we describe a project, currently under investigation, where such beams are used to address the issue of CP violation in the lepton sector. We also mention the interest of having low-energy beta-beams. The connection to projects for the production of very intense exotic ion beams, like EURISOL, is emphasized.

Beta beams
The recent discovery of neutrino oscillations, has implications for the Standard Model of particle physics. Knowing the contribution of neutrinos to the Standard Model, needs precise measurements of the parameters governing the neutrino oscillations. The EUROnu Design Study (European Commision FP7 program) will review three facilities (the so-called Super-Beams, Beta Beams and Neutrino Factorie...
متن کاملPhysics and optimization of beta-beams: From low to very high gamma
The physics potential of beta beams is investigated from low to very high gamma values and it is compared to superbeams and neutrino factories. The gamma factor and the baseline are treated as continuous variables in the optimization of the beta beam, while a fixed mass water Cherenkov detector or a totally active scintillator detector is assumed. We include in our discussion also the gamma dep...
متن کاملPhysics Potential of Sps Upgrade in Regard to Beta/ec Beams
The goal for future neutrino facilities is the determination of the [Ue3] mixing and CP violation in neutrino oscillations. This will require precision experiments with a very intense neutrino source. With this objective the creation of neutrino beams from the radioactive decay of boosted ions by the SPS of CERN from either beta or electron capture transitions has been propossed. We discuss the...
متن کاملa very first low - energy beta - beam
We describe the importance of having low-energy (10-100 MeV) neutrino beams produced through the decay of boosted radioactive ions (“beta-beams”). We focus on the interest for neutrino-nucleus interaction studies and their impact for astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. In particular, we discuss the relation to neutrinoless double-beta decay. Finally, we mention the status as far as the ...
