Introduction NF capable of producing intense beams of Neutrinos: long baseline neutrino oscillations (only future project guaranteed physics BSM) Neutrinos: short baseline, high precision physics studies Muons: precision measurements, MuSR, MuCF, etc Kaons: rare decays, etc Test bed for High power proton projects: neutron spallation, waste transmutation, etc Muon collider: particularly cooling
NuFact School 1st International Neutrino Factory Summer Institute • 23 students, 12 lecturers (and a cat) • Aim: to provide an introduction to NuFact The Cosener’s House, near to RAL See cern.ch/mellis/physics/nufact/nufact_school.html for photos
NuFact School • Programme: Physics of Massive Neutrinos: Boris Kayser Basic Accelerator Physics: Ted Wilson Neutrino Factory: Bennett/Geer/Kaplan/ Mori/Palmer/Prior Slow Muons: Yoshi Kuno Neutrino Detectors: Harris/McFarland Neutrinos in Astrophysics: Bob Bingham • Very positive response from students (the cat, however, was only interested in MICE) • Second school is planned before NuFact’03
Introduction • At Imperial College, London • 4th in the series: Lyon, Monterey CA, Tsukuba • 161 participants, 14 from CERN (cf 23 in 2000) – (no cats) • Programme:

Cooling • Cooling >10 increase in muon flux • Existing techniques can’t be used ionsation cooling beam in • Cooling is delicate balance: beam out
Cooling • Cooling cells are complex • R&D essential: MuCool, MuScat and MICE McKigney
