  1. Towards aNeutrino Factory scoping study

  2. Background: • Intellectual: • Feasibility studies: • US: I, II, Ia • EU: CERN ‘yellow report’ • JP: Design report • Need inter-regional cooperation for ‘Study III’ • Recognised at NuFct03 • Social: • Essential to develop collaboration • Neutrino source for precision measurements of neutrino properties necessarily requires an international collaboration • Political: • European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructure: • Preparing roadmap for major research infrastructure • Funding: • FP7: Design Study call, expected autumn 2006 • UK funding cycle

  3. Scoping study: request for proposal

  4. Scoping study: request for proposal • Empowering invitation: • Recognition of crucial nature of international partnership • Framework for discussion leading to: • Source(s) required for optimal precision exploration of neutrino properties • Consensus on options to be taken forward; • Identification of critical R&D items (h/w and concept development); • Definition of interfaces, performance goals etc. that can be studied in the next conceptual design phase; • Establishment of collaboration for the next phase.

  5. Discussion: • Just at the start; request only ‘a week old’ • Take forward on afternoon of Thursday 17Mar05 • Proposed timescale (working backwards): • Hand in proposal: 27May05 • Full draft of proposal: 13May05 • Meeting to discuss/agree content: 08-08May05 RAL • An exciting opportunity! • (And much work to do)
