  1. Status and Plans for EUROnu FP7 Design Study EUROnu = A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe • Introduction • Aims • Link to international activities • Current status • Plans

  2. Introduction • Originally: • Number of neutrino related DS for FP6 • EURISOL (Beta beam) approved in round 1 • Others (e.g. NF) planned for later rounds • 2nd & 3rd rounds cancelled by EC! • New plan: • Submit to FP7 • But, CERN Strategy Group report in July 06 • Made important recommendations for us

  3. “…..studies of the scientific case for future neutrino facilities and the R&D into associated technologies are required to be in a position to define the optimal neutrino programme based on the information available in around 2012; Council will play an active role in promoting a coordinated European participation in a global neutrino programme” Strategy Group • Crucial R&D for 2nd generation facilities (post T2K) • Include 3 main European candidates: • CERN to Frejus Super-Beam • Neutrino Factory • Beta-Beam • Performance, “cost”, safety & risk comparison • Present outcome via SG • Done in collaboration, not competition

  4. EURO (or EUROnu) • Created end 2006 • 15 partners, coordinator STFC • Submitted proposal: May 07; total cost 14.5M€, EC 4.8M€ • Outcome: August 07 – ranked first, negotiate for 4.0M€ • Project started: 1st September 2008 • Duration: 4 years – completion in 2012, as required • Website: http://euronu.org- some information is public - more interesting stuff requires registration

  5. Partners Total: 24 Institutes 9 Countries

  6. Structure

  7. WP2: CERN to FrejusSuperbeam 3.5-5 Physics: WP6 WP5

  8. WP3: Neutrino Factory WP5 Physics: WP6 WP5

  9. WP4: Beta Beam Ion production Neutrino source Beam to experiment Ion Linac 30 MeV PR RI production Decay ring Br ~ 500 Tm B = ~6 T C = ~6900 m Lss= ~2500 m 8Li: g = 100 8B: g = 100 Acceleration Collection SPS Neutrino Source Decay Ring Beam preparationpulsed ECR Ion accelerationLinac, 0.4 GeV PS2 92 GeV 31 GeV . Acceleration to medium energy RCS, 5 GeV Detector Gran Sasso

  10. Baseline Beta Beam • 18Ne and 6He • studied in EURISOL FP6 DS • Updated Beta Beam: 8Li and 8B – higher Q isotopes WP4: Beta Beam • Baseline ions • ISOL method 18Ne 2x1013/s<8x1011/s6He 2x1013/s>1x1013/s • direct production being studied • ion production ring 8Li 1014/s 8B >1013/s

  11. WP4: Beta Beam Ion production Neutrino source Beam to experiment Ion Linac 30 MeV WP5 PR RI production Decay ring Br ~ 500 Tm B = ~6 T C = ~6900 m Lss= ~2500 m 8Li: g = 100 8B: g = 100 Acceleration Collection SPS Neutrino Source Decay Ring Beam preparationpulsed ECR Ion accelerationLinac, 0.4 GeV PS2 92 GeV 31 GeV . Physics: WP6 Acceleration to medium energy RCS, 5 GeV Detector Gran Sasso

  12. Delivering SG Aims • Funding: will deliver EUROnu obligations • Insufficient to meet SG requirements • Being addressed in two ways: • International collaboration: - associates in EUROnu - with IDS-NF - with other (mainly EC) projects • Request for additional CERN contributions: - through Nu Panel - particular focus on CERN skills/interest

  13. Associate Members • Some funding available for travel • Meetings possible at associates - Aachen, Germany - Argonne National laboratory, USA - Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA - Brunel, UK - Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), USA - GANIL, France - INO, India - Institute of Applied Physics in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia - Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, Russia - Lisbon, Portugal - TRIUMF Laboratory, Canada - University of Geneva, Switzerland - US Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration - Virginia Polytechnic Institute, USA - Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel

  14. International Collaboration • International Design Study for a Neutrino Factory • WP3 and IDS Accelerator study: same thing • full integration between WP5 & 6 and IDS • International Advisory Panel • Connection with International Activities • Membership: Ewart Blackmore (TRIUMF) • Swapan Chattopadhyay (CI) • Steve Holmes (FNAL) • Hitoshi Murayama (Tokyo) • Mike Zisman (LBL) – chair

  15. Some thought already given to this • Also suggested by IAP • Formal request from Nu Panel • Work in CERN EUROnu Team, on all WPs Request to CERN

  16. Status • Running for 15 months • Now 39 institutes “officially” involved • 1st annual report almost complete • Good progress towards milestones & deliverables • 26 EUROnu documents produced Plans • Complete fall 2012 • Aim to further increase collaboration • Deliver final report to Council via SG/SPC • Next step: CNI-PP??

  17. Conclusions • Coordinated study for future nu osc facilities • Performance, cost, safety, risk comparison • Deadline 2012 – that’s when we finish anyway! • Official part of CERN Strategy • Close international collaborations • Additional resources required to do complete job • Step after EUROnu: ESFRI RoadmapPreparatory Phase for new facility
