Acomplete Euro-Neutrino Design Study physics, accelerators, detectors, baselines ISS= International Scoping Study … American and Asian collaborations as full partners June 2005 to late 2006: mostly neutrino factory & superbeams define priorities and ways of Design Study consolidate regional & international collaboration us in EU, gain support of Council and ECFA IDS = International Design Study (neutrino factory & superbeams & betabeam) start late 2006 or early 2007 achieve higher funding, start design effort us in EU, prepare FP7 Proposal (March 2007, it seems) structure EU collaboration, get CERN involved as much as possible FP7 DS = EC (support for EU effort in the) Design Study … CNGS & beyond aiming at first EC funds Jan 1, 2008 inter-twined with IDS keeping American and Asian collaborations as full partners ….

guessing the Content of the Design Study conceptual feasibility study of the following components: a high power proton driver of at least 4-5 GeV the engineering of the handling, containment and safety aspects of a hi power target & collection station a performing and cost effective muon phase rotation and cooling channel non-scaling FFAGs for acceleration of muons (and possibly protons) an optimised storage ring for muons higher intensity and higher gamma beta beams technical preparatory (R&D) projects, aiming at demonstrating: the existence of at least one adequate choice of target an extended lifetime of the horn prototypes at high rate and radiation muon ionization cooling, by completion of the MICE experimental program operation of a non-scaling FFAG RF cavities and kicker magnets for fast manipulation of muon beams + specific detector R&D and design efforts on : photo detector development for very large far detectors developments of the liquid argon technique including the presence of magnetic field study and tests of a magnetic calorimeter susceptible to be built with a mass of up to 100 kton. detectors dedicated for tau detection such as the emulsion cloud chamber last but not least the necessary near detector concepts and beam instrumentation V.
