104	Its high power p-driver would also offer, however, early on the way,
105	the possibility of a <b>SuperBeam</b>, a superior conventional <font

127	<b>The investigation of the properties of the <font
128	color="#000000"><small><small><big><big><big>ν</big></big></big></small></small></font>,</b>
129	70 years after its invention, 46 after the discovery of the <font

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>
179	<br>
180	</b><b>We plan to  continue to investigate coherently</b> the
181	requirements posed on accelerators by this long term program of experimental
182	LBL neutrino physics, and to define and prepare, after HARP, MUSCAT and
183	other current activities, the R&D necessary for <b>the our present few
184	main options </b>of future <b><font color="#000000"><small><small><big><big><big>ν</big></big></big></small></small></font></b>

191	a Neutrino Factory,  Super-beam,  Beta-beam or combinations of

193	by a high power proton driver, slow muons and much  more).  It
194	will have to take  into account the likely availability of funding and
195	the state of the relevant technologies and provide indications on:
196	<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
228	large aperture (Fixed Field Alternated Gradient) accelerators.</font> <font
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
231	or with FFAG, must also be defined down to complete conceptual design. </font><br>
232	<font color="#cc0000">E <b>A first design study of a Betabeam.</b><font
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>

1420	NB More work needed, considering that the main delivrables of a
1421	NA are described by the EC as  <br>
1422	-the organization of general meetings, workshops or specialized
1423	meeting with corresponding proceedings. Normally, the general meetings
1424	are meant to identify limitations, establish the state-of-the-art and share
1425	expertise, workshops and specialized meetings are meant to study particular
1426	issues.<br>
1427	Important deliverables will be also <br>
1428	-reports on comparative studies, <br>
1429	- development of roadmaps,<br>
1430	- definitions of joint research projects for which EU funding could

1432	Other delivrables could be <br>
1433	- the definition and selection of common protocols, for example
1434	for portability of software <br>
1435	-  databases <br>
1436	-  simulation codes and their maintenance. <br>
1437	In any case, a detailed plan of the activities for the 18 first

1494	<b>TARGET </b>The main oustanding expected deliverable is a
1495	consensus on the best way forward for the successful construction of targets
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
1521	currently in operation (MiniBOON/K2K) and in construction (NuMI/CNGS). Then,
1522	till end 2006, studies will be condcuted,  to produce a detail report
1523	(R2) on a specific solution for the SuperBeam project. Then, till the end
1524	of the NA Jan. 2008, it is foreseen to produce a detail report (R3) on the

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>

1828	The NA plans to hold regular and structured Weeks of meetings and
1829	discussion organized 3 to 4 times a year. . In addition one or two dedicated
1830	workshop are foreseen per year. <br>
1831	<br>
1832	The international community meets once a year at the occasion of
1833	the ECFA-sponsored NuFact & Superbeam Workshop. A NUFACT School
1834	is held, since 2002, yearly on the same location of the Workshop ...
1835	<i>this does not seem to be eligible ...</i><br>
1836	<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
1846	studies and will provide training and learning opportunities to large
1847	number of students and postdocs. <br>
1848	<br>
1849	We should also contribute to the description of the overall plan
1850	to disseminate, promote and exploit the knowledge derived from the NA
1851	both within and beyond the consortium: publications, conferences, workshops
1852	and web-based activities aiming at disseminating the knowledge and technology

2209	supported provided his task is a service task (such as maintenance and
