	133	</small>species, <b>is and will still long be</b> <b>revealing
	134	to us fundamental and unique information </b>on the basic nature and
	135	texture of fundamental matter. <br>
	136	<br>
	137	Recent experiments have established transitions in flight of one <b><font
	138	color="#000000"><small><small><big><big><big>ν</big></big></big></small></small></font></b>
	139	into another, very likely to be oscillations, over two independent long
	140	baselines (LBL), Thus <b><font color="#000000"><small><small><big><big><big>ν</big></big></big></small></small></font></b>
	141	<b>do have</b> non zero <b>mixing </b>rates <b>and </b>non zero <b>masses</b><b>.
	142	</b>The exceptional smallness of the masses points to the existence
	143	of <b>new fundamental physics </b>occurring at a very high-energy scale,
	144	providing indeed the first experimental data constraining it. The pattern
	145	of large mixings is likely to carry the imprint of this new specific physics
	146	and, even more importantly, points to the possibility of a <b>large leptonic
	147	CP violation phase</b>. If true, this may be a key ingredient in the understanding
	148	of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe (including the existence
	149	of our own physical bodies!), rooting it in a fundamental <b>asymmetry
	150	of the mechanism of primordial lepto-genesis</b> by decay of very heavy
	151	<b><font color="#000000"><small><small><big><big><big>ν</big></big></big></small></small></font></b>.
	152	<br>
	153	<br>
	154	This opens a field of research which will last several decades,
	155	perform the complete mapping of the patterns of masses and mixings and
	156	culminate with the discovery of leptonic CP violation. Long baselines
	157	impose very high power, constraints on the physics at the new scale will
	158	come only from statistically significant data samples. <b>These studies
	159	will thus require an important investment in accelerator-based neutrino
	160	beams and experiments</b>, improving significantly the present facilities
	161	and/or developing new ones. <i>Proposed underground neutrino detector
	162	locations, both existing and new, will also need careful scrutiny.</i><br>
	163	<br>
	164	The present European program (CNGS) is expected to produce decisive
	165	evidence of nutau appearance. It will operate in 2006 and will, after that,
	166	benefit from R&D towards improved performance. In addition. not much
	167	later its operation, <b>we must have</b> a clear view of the nature, characteristics
	168	and logistics of the investments necessary for a further major upgrade
	169	of our discovery potential in this sector. <b> This Networking
	170	Activity</b> on neutrino beams, <b>integrating all the proposed studies,
	171	aims at developping</b>, from the present basic conceptual road map, <b>a
	172	true road-map of technical milestones for the realization </b><b>of  an
	173	upgraded and/or new European neutrino facility</b>. We plan to channel
	174	all our efforts towards the <b>global strategic objective </b>of submitting,
	175	to the  European funding agencies and laboratory Directors,  <b>a
	176	complete Conceptual Design Report (CDR ) of  such a facility by 2008</b>,
	177	that appears the earliest conceivable date for new significant investments
	178	in an European particle physics program. <b><br>

	197	B.<b>The choice and design of a proton driver. </b>Several possibilities
	198	are being considered: Superconductive Proton Linacs and similar CW machines
	199	in linear or cyclotron mode and/or  Rapid Cycling Synchrotron.
	200	A careful study of the pros and cons of the various option, using the HARP
	201	data on particle production, could bring to definition of the baseline option
	202	<b>by NUFACT05 (</b><b>spring 2005</b>)<b> followed by complete design
	203	in view of the CDR</b>: <br>
	204	C. and D. <b>The design of a Target and Collection Station</b>. Considerable
	205	progress was achieved, in collaboration with the US, for the option
	206	of a liquid metal target with collection by a high field solenoid. This requires
	207	now the design and construction or refurbishment of large (20T or so) solenoid.
	208	Alternative options include other targets (liquid jet, solid levitating rings,
	209	solid granular targets) imbedded in a solenoid or a horn. Use of several
	210	target & horn systems in parallel is also proposed. <b>Work on a proposal
	211	to set up a </b><b>target test area (TTA)</b> in Europe including a beam,
	212	a liquid jet and a high field solenoid <b>is in progress</b>. <b>A proposal
	213	for a test area </b>to test the limits <b>of  horns </b>in term of rep.
	214	rate and sustainable beam power (resistance to radiation) <b>is also being
	215	prepared</b>. <b> A viable final design</b> of target and collection
	216	area <b>for 4->10 MW</b> beam power, perhaps the most formidable challenge
	217	of the entire program,  including aspects of safety, radiation and waste
	218	disposal, <b>may thus be achieved by 2008</b>. <br>
	219	D. <b>The design of the Neutrino Factory Front-end </b>(Ionization Cooling,
	220	Phase rotation) <b>and of acceleration. </b>The <b>MICE experiment is being
	221	proposed</b> and constitutes the major experimental effort in the area of
	222	muon cooling. <b>R&D</b> <b>towards </b>cheap, high peak power, pulsed
	223	<b>RF power sources and fast kickers with large acceptance</b><b> for
	224	future ring coolers is being undertaken</b>. Comparative studies will be
	225	necessary of the two different European and American preliminary baseline
	226	front end designs (tboth based on cooling), as well as of the Japanese scheme
	227	that relies on little or no cooling, by means of a cascade of  very

	229	color="#cc0000"><b>A viable final design</b> of the front end <b>can thus
	230	be achieved by 2008</b>. The acceleration scheme, with re-circulating linacs

	233	color="#330033"> <font color="#cc0000">In preparation for that,</font></font>
	234	we are considering  target development studies at ISOLDE and possibly
	235	at at ISAC with high intensity proton bea,  pre-acceleration, accumulation
	236	and storage studies at existing facilities (TSL in Uppsala, ESR at GSI,
	237	LEIR at CERN), and low intensity test (possibly in the SPS) of the high
	238	energy accumulation scheme using stable ions. <b>This could result in ?????????????</b></font><font
	239	color="#cc0000"><br>
	240	It should finally be kept in view that the launch of neutrino detector studies
	241	and R&D, for future neutrino beams, will also become a necessity, at
	242	some point.<br>
	243	</font><br>
	244	Such a coherent and coordinated European program on neutrino
	245	beams will involve the large majority of the European experts in this
	246	field and will allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance
	247	considerably the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one
	248	hand and will develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator
	249	physicists on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.<br>
	250	<br>
	251	Very limited resources are presently available in Europe for accelerator
	252	neutrino physics. The LHC crisis appears to inevitably imply reduced support
	253	from the European agencies, even to the approved CNGS program. <b>Decisive
	254	added  value would result, from </b>the <b>EC support </b>that we are
	255	requesting here, <b>to the strategic goal of producing a timely European
	256	initiative and leadership in the fondamental area of neutrino science</b>.
	257	This applies both to this Networking Activity and to R&D Projects. Among
	258	those,  HIPPI, proposed within this IA, and MICE, entering soon its
	259	final design phase, appear as the natural continuation of the R&D projects
	260	(MUSCAT, HARP and the first BNL-CERN target experiment) that, as ECFA Muon
	261	Study Groups, we have initiated in the recent past.  <br>

	1496	for a European Neutrino Factory. Individual deliverables are expected to
	1497	be 1) a comprehensive summary report, reviewing the present status 2) solidly
	1498	rooted links with the presently loosely tied existing world wide expertise
	1499	3) establishment in Europe of the best possible up-to-date and durable
	1500	knowledge base of world wide activities in target development 4) careful
	1501	& structured dissemination of information and progress 4) detailed
	1502	investigation and documentation of the possible solutions of the limitations
	1503	of each of the technological options 5) expression of interest and proposals
	1504	of  detailed and realistic R&D projects capable to prove the solutions
	1505	<br>
	1506	<b>COLLECTOR</b> The main expected deliverable is a comprehensive
	1507	final report on horn designs, proposing multiple specific solutions respectivelly
	1508	adequate to performance and lifetime requirements in a classical beam, a
	1509	superbeam and ultimately in a neutrino factories.This will be based on detailed
	1510	thermo-mechanical simulations, complete technical specification of electric
	1511	supply and discharge equipment and state-of -the art knowledge of mechanical
	1512	properties of alloys under high rate neutron irradiation. It will include
	1513	specific solutions to the choices ( of material for the collection device,
	1514	of machining, soldering and assembling techniques, of  heat removal
	1515	and cooling system) necessary to achieve a lifetime  of 200 M pulses
	1516	or more, as well as to the problems of real life integration of horn and
	1517	target and of  periodic replacement of either or both after 200 M pulses,
	1518	in the average.<br>
	1519	<font color="#cc0000">The first deliverable for Summer 2004 will be
	1520	a status report (R1) on existing collection systems used in the past and

	1562	<b>COOLING </b>Main deliverables are 0) Formation of a European
	1563	muon front end network , with consolidated link with US and Japan 1) Determination
	1564	of the performance of the European  design incorporating realistic
	1565	fields and real engineerization. 2) Simulation of cooling free  front
	1566	ends in  comparison with our baseline; quantitative appraisal  of
	1567	the indispensability of cooling 3) Simulation of front ends based on cooling
	1568	rings 4)Assessment of the technologies required by <i>1)2) & 3)</i> and
	1569	of  their feasibility 5) Proposal of a coherent R&D program as a
	1570	result of this assessment 6) Determination of the resolution of MICE (in
	1571	the measurement of emittance and emittance reduction) and of its potential
	1572	beyond its baseline measurements plans <br>
	1573	<b>BETABEAM</b><br>
	1574	We aims at a team including RAL, TSL in Uppsala, GSI, GANIL, INFN Legnaro
	1575	associating TRIUMF and FermiLab. Its expected deliverables in the first
	1576	18 months are <br>
	1577	1) Meeting at GSI in September 2003: Follow up of Moriond in March and
	1578	discussions on possible synergy with the future GSI design study.2) International
	1579	workshop on a beta-beam facility in June 2004 3) Theoretical study and appraisal
	1580	of experimental tests of longitudinal stacking scheme for the decay ring
	1581	(in the CERN PS) 4) Computer simulation and theoretical study of losses
	1582	in the decay ring 5) Proposal for targets to be tested for the production
	1583	of suitable beta-beam isotopes 6) Study of cyclotron injection into a storage
	1584	ring using a charge injection scheme (TSL and Triumf) 7) Study of dynamic
	1585	aperture in the SPS (RAL)<br>
	1586	A comprehensive report, "Ideas for a beta-beam facility", would conclude
	1587	the first 18 months  Further meetings would be held at least once a
	1588	year but it will depend on a possible design study. Reports will be delivered
	1589	as conference papers and as CERN reports. The next stage would be a conceptual
	1590	design report but the likely date for that would heavily depend on a possible
	1591	design study.<br>
	1592	Only fresh resources, presently unavailable, would evidently permit
	1593	us to address a larger number of issues such as: lattice for decay ring
	1594	and storage ring, optics for transfer lines and injection line, full simulation
	1595	of stacking scheme, full simulation of losses, test of injection schemes
	1596	(both storage ring and decayring), construction and test of prototype target
	1597	at ISOLDE and test of targets at TRIUMF with a high intensity proton.<br>

	1768	After this overview, it seems that the list of deliverables could be as follows
	1769	<br>
	1770	-- recommendation for the parameters of the proton driver (spring 2005) <br>
	1771	-- Interim tool: location and home lab for a Test Target Area  (summer

	1773	-- List and estimate of experiments to be carried out at the TTA. (summer
	1774	2003) <br>
	1775	-- Design of a 4 ® 10 MW target station.  (2007)<br>
	1776	-- Design (2003) and realization (2006) of a horn power supply unit, horn(s),
	1777	horn optics. <br>
	1778	-- Paper study (2004) of high aperture kickers for cooling (or phase rotation)
	1779	rings <br>
	1780	-- Realization of a kicker prototype (2006). <br>
	1781	-- Design of the pulsed RF power stations needed for muon front-end and acceleration
	1782	(2004)<br>
	1783	-- Development of a prototype pulsed RF power station (2006)  <br>
	1784	-- design of an FFAG magnet for acceleration and cost estimate (2004).<br>
	1785	-- recommendation for accelerator design (2005)   <br>
	1786	-- construction of a prototype FFAG magnet and characterization<br>

	1837	Such a coherent and coordinated European program on neutrino beams
	1838	will involve the large majority of the European experts in this field
	1839	and will allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance considerably
	1840	the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one hand and will
	1841	develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator physicists
	1842	on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.<br>
	1843	R&D experiments and projects as the ones being performed (HARP,
	1844	high intensity target R&D, horn R&D etc )  or planned (MICE),
	1845	will be pursued and multiplied , will mark the technical progress of our
