  1. Yordan Karadzhov University of Sofia “St. Kliment Ohridski” Simulation of Neutrino Factory beam and quasielastic scattering off electrons in the near detector

  2. Initial conditions of simulation : Length of the straight section of muon storage ring – 500 m. Muon decays are evenly distributed along the straight section. Distance from the end of the straight section to the detector is 500 m.

  3. Muon beam parameters : polarization : 1, -1 and 0. beam energies : 20, 30, 40 GeV. energy distribution : Gaussian (σ = 80 MeV) angular distribution : Gaussian (σ = 0.5x10-3) Distribution in a plane perpendicular to the beam : Gaussian (σ = 5cm)

  4. Muon decay matrix element For νμ For antiνe where x = 2Eν/mµ , Pµ is the polarization of the muon and θ is the angle between polarization vector and neutrino direction.
