Physics Projects for a Future Cern–lngs Neutrino Programme
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an overview of the future projects concerning the neutrino oscillation physics in Europe. Recently a joint CERN–LNGS scientific committee has reviewed several proposals both for the study of atmospheric neutrinos and for long (LBL) and short baseline (SBL) neutrino oscillation experiments. The committee has indicated the priority that the European high energy physics community should follows in the field of neutrino physics, namely a new massive, atmospheric neutrino detector and a ντ appearance campaign exploiting the new CERN–LNGS Neutrino Facility (NGS), freshly approved by CERN and INFN. The sensitivity and the discovery potential of the whole experimental program in the Super–Kamiokande allowed region are discussed.

متن کاملPerspectives for a neutrino program based on the upgrades of the CERN accelerator complex
In this paper, we discuss the possibilities offered to neutrino physics by the upgrades of the CERN accelerator complex. Emphasis is on the physics reach of a medium γ (350-580) β-beam that fully exploits the improvements in the CERN accelerator complex for the luminosity/energy upgrade of the LHC. We show that, this design not only profits of the ongoing efforts for the upgrades of the LHC, bu...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillation physics at an upgraded CNGS with large next generation liquid Argon TPC detectors
The determination of the missing Ue3 element (magnitude and phase) of the PMNS neutrino mixing matrix is possible via the detection of νμ → νe oscillations at a baseline L and energy E given by the atmospheric observations, corresponding to a mass squared difference E/L ∼ ∆m ≃ 2.5× 10 eV . While the current optimization of the CNGS beam provides limited sensitivity to this reaction, we discuss ...
متن کاملPhysics Motivations for Future Cern Accelerators *
We summarize the physics motivations for future accelerators at CERN. We argue that (a) a luminosity upgrade for the LHC could provide good physics return for a relatively modest capital investment, (b) CLIC would provide excellent long-term perspectives within many speculative scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model, (c) a Very Large Hadron Collider could provide the first opportunity ...
متن کاملCNGS beam with the OPERA experiment
Search for ν τ appearance via neutrino oscillations in the ν µ CNGS beam with the OPERA experiment The OPERA neutrino detector in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) is designed to realize the first detection of neutrino oscillations in the appearance mode through the study of νµ → ντ oscillations. The apparatus consists of an emulsion/lead target associated to electronic detectors and...
