  1. An International Scoping Study of a Neutrino Factory & Super-beam Facility

  2. NuFact03 2004 April 2005 Desire for a new World Design Study towards a future Neutrino Factory - to succeed Studies I, II and IIa in the US - failed to get support Plan for a proposal to 2nd call in EU FP6 design study programme - 2nd call cancelled John Wood – CEO CCLRC(RAL) – requests a ‘Scoping Study’ for a future neutrino factory – and promises support A Little History P Dornan - NuFact05

  3. Stakeholders Programme Committee Chair Physics Accelerator Detector • May 2005 • Meeting in London to start the process (~40 people came at short notice) • Committee – S Geer, Y Kuno, V Palladino, K Peach charged with setting up the organisation Chair – PJD Physics – Yori Nagashima Accelerator – Mike Zisman Detector – Alain Blondel ----- + Deputies Composition of ‘Stakeholders’ still to be defined P Dornan - NuFact05

  4. Tentative Plans • Working Groups • Procedures to be defined by the working group convenors and their deputies • Programme Committee • Will meet every 3 months in Europe, Japan & US to review progress and report to Stakeholders • Stakeholders • Not finalised – organisations supporting the study such as RAL (host lab), regional neutrino factory groups • Final Report • Presentation to NuFact06 and a written document Sep 2006 • First meeting of Programme Committee, July 13,14 to finalise plans P Dornan - NuFact05

  5. Aims → Final Report • A one year study • More details in the document - but primarily • To review the physics case for an accelerator neutrino complex post-T2K and Nona • To compare options - and complementarities • Super-beam + detector • Neutrino Factory + detector • Result to lay foundations for a full CDR for such a facility by 2009/10 • - and to form the basis of a proposal (early 2007) to the EU P7 programme for funding for such a CDR P Dornan - NuFact05

  6. Why 2009/10 for CDR • LHC will have produced first results • LHC wlll have been paid for • PEP2 & Tevatron programmes will have ended • so funds should become available for new projects • But there will be many calls • Linear Collider, S-LHC…. • The Neutrino Community must have a coherent well-argued plan at that time to obtain support for a major project for second half of next decade • time is short P Dornan - NuFact05

  7. Request (1) • That the neutrino community at NuFact05 endorse the plan for the one-year international scoping study for a neutrino factory and super-beam facility • Will form the basis of a statement to the news organisations, interactions.org etc. • The plan was presented to ECFA on Thursday and Friday and received strong support P Dornan - NuFact05

  8. Request (2) • Contribute to the working groups to make it a success • Everyone welcome - Contact • Physics group - Yori Nagashima - nagay@snow.dti2.ne.jp • Accelerator Group - Mike Zisman - mszisman@lbl.gov • Detector Group - Alain Blondel - Alain.Blondel@cern.ch • or me • Peter Dornan – P.Dornan@imperial.ac.uk • A website is being prepared and this request will go to all who attended NuFact05 and to the neutrino email lists P Dornan - NuFact05
