  4. News from Task 2 : CNGS ( Ilias ! ) The start-up of EuCARD in April’09 almost coincided with the startup of the second year of physics operation for CNGS. Running the facility at its best possible performance, still beyond the designed value due to intensity limitations in the CERN accelerator complex, was the primary occupation of the task members. So far the facility has been running smoothly accumulating a total of 4.47E19 protons on target since its startup in June 2008. intentions of possible future experiments with the present beam and off-axis experiments have been presented in the recent CERN “new opportunities” workshop. This and other past proposals involving upgrade paths for the facility will be addressed in the next periods, looking at the same time new physics results from other facilities like those in US and Japan. A detailed upgrade path for the facility will have to be identified, On this long road, next six months will see the conclusion of the longest CNGS run so far, about 130 days followed by a winter shutdown of cool off first and maintenance and repairs, if necessary, then.

  11. Preliminary conclusions(for October Maury Goodman’s international neutrino newsletter) The CERN workshop on the European Strategy for  Future Neutrino Physics was quite a success, with high attendance and a lot  of discussion. http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=59378. It was only a beginning of a process. Neutrino physicists in Europe have a program of R&D projects (SPL, MERIT, MICE, EMMA) Design Studies (EURONu for beams, LAGUNA for underground sites) and networking (NEu2012) which aims at providing the inputs for decisions to come. Proceedings are now being assembled and conclusions drawn. The SPC neutrino panel is preparing its report for December, and CERN management will hold a "retreat session" end of November to review the upgrade of the LHC injectors. The European  accelerator neutrino community will continue its interaction with the management to narrow down optionsonly to realistic beam and detector configurations. The option to revive the old PS Gargamelle neutrino beam, devoting it to accelerator/detector R&D, is also being discussed. +AIDA IA V. Palladino (Univ & INFN Napoli) EuCARD Steering Group meeting LNF 4 Nov 2009

  12. Answers of the SPC  panel being prepared Specific Request from Council to the Scientific Policy Committee Relations between CERN and the ongoing development work regarding future neutrino facilities. The UK delegation to the CERN Council notes that there is no European-wide strategy to engage in the precise determination of neutrino oscillation parameters for the period beyond ~2015, after the T2K and Nona experiments. Within the context of “Questions from Council to the SPC”, it requests that the SPC gives its views on several issues pertaining to the physics of neutrinos, namely, - What is the view of the SPC on the importance of precise measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters, in particular the CP violating phase and mass hierarchy? - One of the most promising techniques for such measurements is the neutrino factory and there is currently an International Design Study (IDS) to produce a conceptual design report for a neutrino factory by 2012. This is not site specific. What is the view of the SPC on the overall value of the IDS for the future of the subject? Should CERN take a more active role in enabling the study to reach its goals, irrespective of where such a facility would be sited? - What other high intensity neutrino facilities are technically possible and how would they address the measurements above? What should be the involvement of CERN in studies of these facilities, in particular with regard to the planned LHC upgrades? - What is the view of the SPC on the merit of a European strategy in this phase of neutrino experimentation and whether it should have a place on the future CERN road map? V. Palladino (Univ & INFN Napoli) EuCARD Steering Group meeting LNF 4 Nov 2009

  13. What is at stake, at present ? • will the study and development of a high intensity neutrino facility be again encouraged by Council? • will the stronger support needed to match the 2012 challenge be recommended from CERN and national agencies? 2) Were a LP-SPL approved in 2012 for the LHC injector chain, will the option of an upgrade to a 4 MW or more HP-SPL be preserved? … indeed a strategic decision… V. Palladino (Univ & INFN Napoli) EuCARD Steering Group meeting LNF 4 Nov 2009

  16. Before and after the CERN workshop, this years’s editions of NuFact09 Workshop July 20-25, Chicago/Fermilab focusing more specifically on beam R&D NNN09 Workshop 9-11 Oct, Colorado focusing more specifically on underground site & detector R&D did again bring together the communities working world wide, in tight connection, on the various experiments and R&D projects MUSCAT, HARP, HIPPI, MICE, MERIT, EMMA, DSIDS, HPSPL, in Europe sort of international informal collaboration meetings natural places to report and discuss studies and results both were carefully prepared by our Eu Community with multiple plenary and parallel contributions V.

  17. Conventional and Novel Neutrino beams V. Palladino (Univ & INFN Napoli) EuCARD Steering Group meeting LNF 4 Nov 2009

  18. Highlights from NuFact09 "The annual workshop gives a unique common forum where a world-wide community of neutrino and accelerator physicists can discuss the possibilities of traditional and novel neutrino beam concepts at the same time as the theoretical, phenomenological and experimental aspects of the corresponding experiments. Evaluating scientific potential as well as design work and R&D on accelerator and detector components." "The latest experimental developments were presented, reviewed and discussed to work towards future improvements. The relevance of a 5-8 GeV multi-mega-watt linac of the Project X or High Power Superconducting Proton Linac (HP SPL) type is more and more apparent. The option of a Lithium-Mercury (Li-Hg) jet target in 15 Tesla solenoidal magnetic field is supported by the results of the MERIT prototype at CERN. An improved design of the neutrino factory front end emerged. The plan of the betabeam second round of design study, notably for more effective production of ion neutrino parents, were presented." V. Palladino (Univ & INFN Napoli) EuCARD Steering Group meeting LNF 4 Nov 2009
