	67	, 27 after the first indirect evidence of its third and so far last <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-1>?
	68	</font>species, <b>is and will still long be</b> <b>revealing to us fundamental
	69	and unique information </b>on the basic nature and texture of fundamental
	70	matter.
	71	<p>Recent experiments have established transitions in flight of one <b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>
	72	into another, very likely to be oscillations, over two independent long
	73	baselines (LBL), Thus <b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>
	74	<b>do have</b> non zero <b>mixing </b>rates <b>and </b>non zero <b>masses.
	75	</b>The exceptional smallness of the masses points to the existence of
	76	<b>new fundamental physics </b>occurring at a very high-energy scale, providing
	77	indeed the first experimental data constraining it. The pattern of large
	78	mixings is likely to carry the imprint of this new specific physics and,
	79	even more importantly, points to the possibility of a <b>large leptonic
	80	CP violation phase</b>. If true, this may be a key ingredient in the understanding
	81	of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe (including the existence
	82	of our own physical bodies!), rooting it in a fundamental <b>asymmetry
	83	of the mechanism of primordial lepto-genesis</b> by decay of very heavy
	84	<b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>.
	85	<p>This opens a field of research which will last several decades, perform
	86	the complete mapping of the patterns of masses and mixings and culminate
	87	with the discovery of leptonic CP violation. Long baselines impose very
	88	high power: constraints on the physics at the new scale will come only
	89	from statistically significant data samples. <b>These studies will thus
	90	require an important investment in accelerator-based neutrino beams and
	91	experiments</b>, improving significantly the present facilities and/or
	92	developing new ones. <i>Proposed underground neutrino detector locations,
	93	both existing and new, will also need careful scrutiny.</i>
	94	<p>Muon Study Groups, endorsed by ECFA since 2000,  are active since
	95	1998, with mandate  <b>to prepare the evolution of European research
	96	in the field of <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font> physics</b>
	97	beyond the present CNGS facility.  Accelerator and particle physicists
	98	together and coherently intend to plan the technical effort, comparing
	99	the physics reach of the different approaches, while closely monitoring
	100	the rapid evolution of the field.  We apply for EC support to <b>a
	101	decisive enhancement of the Networking Activity</b> aspect of our initiative.
	102	<p><br>While Europe is presently building a <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-2>?
	103	</font>facility (<b>CNGS</b>) based on a conventional ? decay tunnel, the
	104	concept of a <b>Neutrino Factory</b>, novel multi-accelerator complex whose
	105	final stage is a high energy <font size=+0>?</font> storage & decay
	106	ring, has been proposed as  the ultimate tool for precise study of

	108	</font>& <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font><font size=-1>e
	109	</font></font>properties. Its high power p-driver would also offer, however,
	110	early on the way,  the possibility of a <b>SuperBeam</b>, a superior
	111	conventional <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-2>?</font>
	112	beam (as well as of an  unprecedented facility for fundamental
	113	experiments  with  slow <font size=+0>?</font>). In addition,
	114	the unique complentary physics reach of the <b>BetaBeam</b>, pure <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-1>e</font>
	115	beam from a high energy storage & decay ring for ?-active ions, has
	116	recently been pointed out at CERN, as a possible evolution of existing
	117	accelerators. Our NA will investigate coherently these few attractive main
	118	options<b>. </b>
	119	<p>The present European program (CNGS) is expected to produce decisive
	120	evidence of <font color="#000000"><font size=+0>transitions into</font><font size=+1>
	121	?</font></font><font size=-1>? </font>. It will operate in 2006 and will,
	122	after that, will benefit from R&D towards improved performance. In
	123	addition. not much later its coming into operation, we should have a clear
	124	view of the nature, characteristics and logistics of the investments necessary
	125	for a further major upgrade of our discovery potential in this sector.
	126	<b>This Networking Activity</b> on neutrino beams, <b>integrating all the
	127	proposed studies, aims at developping</b>, from the present basic conceptual
	128	road map, <b>a true road-map of technical milestones leading both to the
	129	most rewarding utilization of the existing facilities and to the realization
	130	of the most attractive and intense new European <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font>
	131	facility. </b>A coherent and properly planned effort can make a Conceptual
	132	Design Report (CDR) of such a facility possible by 2008,  a conceivable
	133	date for discussions of new significant investments in an European particle
	134	physics program. We intend to foster, prepare and launch, assembling the
	135	necessary human and material resources, all the R&D and technical preparatory
	136	work indispensable to this achievement.
	137	<p><b>We plan to  continue to investigate coherently</b> the requirements
	138	posed on accelerators by this long term program of experimental LBL neutrino
	139	physics, and to define and prepare (after HARP, MUSCAT, the first BNL-CERN

	141	our present few  main options </b>of future <b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>

	154	<p>Such a coherent and coordinated European program on neutrino beams will
	155	involve the large majority of the European experts in this field and will
	156	allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance considerably
	157	the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one hand and will
	158	develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator physicists
	159	on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.
	160	<p>Very limited resources are presently available in Europe for accelerator
	161	neutrino physics. The LHC crisis appears to inevitably imply reduced support
	162	from the European agencies, even to the approved CNGS program. <b>Decisive
	163	added  value would result, from </b>the <b>EC support </b>that we
	164	are requesting here, <b>to the strategic goal of producing a timely European
	165	initiative and leadership in the fondamental area of neutrino science</b>.<font color="#CCCCCC">
	166	This applies both to this Networking Activity and to R&D Projects.
	167	Among those,  HIPPI, proposed within this IA, and MICE, entering soon
	168	its final design phase, appear as the natural continuation of the R&D
	169	projects (MUSCAT, HARP and the first BNL-CERN target experiment) that,
