The EUROnu Project: A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe
نویسنده
چکیده
EUROnu is a European Commission funded FP7 Design Study investigating three possible options for a future high intensity neutrino oscillation facility in Europe. These options are a CERN to Fréjus Super-Beam, a Neutrino Factory and a Beta Beam. The aims of the project are to undertake the crucial R&D on each of the accelerator facilities and determine their performance and relative cost, including the baseline detectors for each facility. A comparison will then be made and the results reported to the CERN Council as part of the CERN Strategy Review.

Future 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 EUROnu Study for Future High Power Neutrino Oscillation Facilities
The EUROnu project was a 4 year FP7 design study to investigate and compare three possible options for future, high power neutrino oscillation facilities in Europe. These three facilities are a Neutrino Factory, a neutrino superbeam from CERN to the Frejus Laboratory and a socalled Beta Beam. The study was completed at the end of 2012 and has produced conceptual designs for the facilities and p...
متن کاملBeta 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...

The construction of the Project for High-intensity Proton Accelerator Facility(Figure 1). in Japan has been started this year. The Japan Hadron Facility of KEK1 and the Neutron Science Project of JAERI2 merged to this project. The purpose of this Joint Project is to pursue frontier science in particle physics, nuclear physics, materials science, life science and nuclear technology. Accelerators...
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...
