Hadron Physics at a Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the way intense neutrino beams at the front–end of a muon storage ring can be used to probe the structure of hadrons. Specifically, we discuss how the polarized and unpolarized flavor structure of the nucleon can be disentangled in inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, and how less inclusive measurements can shed light on various aspects of hadron structure such as fragmentation functions or generalized parton distributions. Invited talk at QCD-N’02 Ferrara, Italy, April 2002 to be published in the proceedings Hadron physics at a neutrino factory

HARP: a hadron production experiment
Hadron production is a key ingredient in many aspects of neutrino physics. Precise prediction of atmospheric neutrino fluxes, characterization of accelerator neutrino beams, quantification of pion production and capture for neutrino factory designs, all of these would profit of highstatistics, high-precision hadron production measurements. In addition, such data is needed for the calibration of...
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...
متن کاملJ - Parc
An outline is explained for hadron-physics projects at J-PARC, which is considered to be one of the flagship facilities in hadron physics from 2008. The facility provides an intensity frontier with 50 GeV proton beam for nuclear and particle physics. It could cover a wide range of hadron physics from strongly interacting many-body systems with an extended hadronic degree of freedom, strangeness...
متن کاملThe scientific case for muon physics at a neutrino factory
This proceedings asks simple questions about what New Physics can be learned from muon precision experiments, in the era of the LHC. The New Physics is parametrised by an effective La-grangian, and the focus is on lepton flavour violating processes, with small mention of (g − 2) µ. I am grateful to AC for assistance in writing the talk, on a subject he knows far better than I. I also thank the ...
متن کاملMuon Collider / Neutrino Factory : Status and Prospects ⋆ Daniel
During the 1990s an international collaboration has been studying the possibility of constructing and operating a high-energy high-luminosity μ+μ− collider. Such a machine could be the approach of choice to extend our discovery reach beyond that of the LHC. More recently, a growing collaboration is exploring the potential of a stored-muon-beam “neutrino factory” to elucidate neutrino oscillatio...
