The physics case of the Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss the physics case of the standard Neutrino Factory facility coupled to an iron detector to exploit the so-called ‘Golden-Channel’. The performance of the facility is impressive, although it is not free from degeneracies arising from a combination of physics and instrumental limitations. Nevertheless, one could explore at great depth the parameter of the leptonic mixing matrix as well as the mass hierarchy. Best performance is obtained with two baselines (one of them very long) and an improved magnetic detector with low energy detection threshold.

The ISS Physics Working Group
The conclusions of the Physics Working Group of the international scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility (the ISS) are presented. The ISS was carried out by the international community between NuFact05, (the 7th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories and Superbeams, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Rome, June 21-26, 2005) and NuFact06 (Ivine, California, 2430 ...
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 کاملNon-standard Interactions: Atmospheric versus Neutrino Factory Experiments
We consider the potential of a generic neutrino factory (NUFACT) in probing non– standard neutrino–matter interactions (NSI). We find that the sensitivity to flavourchanging (FC) NSI can be substantially improved with respect to present atmospheric neutrino data, especially at energies higher than approximately 50 GeV, where the effect of the tau mass is small. For example, a 100 GeV NUFACT can...
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...
