64<br>&nbsp;<b>The investigation of the properties of the <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font>,</b>
6570 years after its invention, 46 after the discovery of the <font color="#000000"><font size=+0>its
66first</font><font size=+1> ?</font></font><font size=-1>e</font> species
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
69and unique information </b>on the basic nature and texture of fundamental
70matter.&nbsp;
71<p>Recent experiments have established transitions in flight of one <b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>
72into another, very likely to be oscillations, over two independent long
73baselines (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
77indeed the first experimental data constraining it. The pattern of large
78mixings is likely to carry the imprint of this new specific physics and,
79even more importantly, points to the possibility of a <b>large leptonic
80CP violation phase</b>. If true, this may be a key ingredient in the understanding
81of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe (including the existence
82of our own physical bodies!), rooting it in a fundamental <b>asymmetry
83of the mechanism of primordial lepto-genesis</b> by decay of very heavy
84<b><font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font></b>.&nbsp;
85<p>This opens a field of research which will last several decades, perform
86the complete mapping of the patterns of masses and mixings and culminate
87with the discovery of leptonic CP violation. Long baselines impose very
88high power: constraints on the physics at the new scale will come only
89from statistically significant data samples. <b>These studies will thus
90require an important investment in accelerator-based neutrino beams and
91experiments</b>, improving significantly the present facilities and/or
92developing new ones. <i>Proposed underground neutrino detector locations,
93both existing and new, will also need careful scrutiny.</i>
94<p>Muon Study Groups, endorsed by ECFA since 2000,&nbsp; are active since
951998, with mandate&nbsp; <b>to prepare the evolution of European research
96in the field of <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font> physics</b>
97beyond the present CNGS facility.&nbsp; Accelerator and particle physicists
98together and coherently intend to plan the technical effort, comparing
99the physics reach of the different approaches, while closely monitoring
100the rapid evolution of the field.&nbsp; We apply for EC support to <b>a
101decisive 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>?&nbsp;
103</font>facility (<b>CNGS</b>) based on a conventional ? decay tunnel, the
104concept of a <b>Neutrino Factory</b>, novel multi-accelerator complex whose
105final stage is a high energy <font size=+0>?</font> storage &amp; decay
106ring, has been proposed as&nbsp; the ultimate tool for precise study of

109</font></font>properties. Its high power p-driver would also offer, however,
110early on the way,&nbsp; the possibility of a <b>SuperBeam</b>, a superior
111conventional <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-2>?</font>
112beam (as well as of an&nbsp; unprecedented facility for fundamental&nbsp;
113experiments&nbsp; with&nbsp; slow <font size=+0>?</font>). In addition,
114the unique complentary physics reach of the <b>BetaBeam</b>, pure <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font><font size=-1>e</font>&nbsp;
115beam from a high energy storage &amp; decay ring for ?-active ions, has
116recently been pointed out at CERN, as a possible evolution of existing
117accelerators. Our NA will investigate coherently these few attractive main
118options<b>.&nbsp;</b>
119<p>The present European program (CNGS) is expected to produce decisive
120evidence 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,
122after that, will benefit from R&amp;D towards improved performance. In
123addition. not much later its coming into operation, we should have a clear
124view of the nature, characteristics and logistics of the investments necessary
125for a further major upgrade of our discovery potential in this sector.
126<b>This Networking Activity</b> on neutrino beams, <b>integrating all the
127proposed studies, aims at developping</b>, from the present basic conceptual
128road map, <b>a true road-map of technical milestones leading both to the
129most rewarding utilization of the existing facilities and to the realization
130of the most attractive and intense new European <font color="#000000"><font size=+1>?</font></font>
131facility. </b>A coherent and properly planned effort can make a Conceptual
132Design Report (CDR) of such a facility possible by 2008,&nbsp; a conceivable
133date for discussions of new significant investments in an European particle
134physics program. We intend to foster, prepare and launch, assembling the
135necessary human and material resources, all the R&amp;D and technical preparatory
136work indispensable to this achievement.
137<p><b>We plan to&nbsp; continue to investigate coherently</b> the requirements
138posed on accelerators by this long term program of experimental LBL neutrino
139physics, and to define and prepare (after HARP, MUSCAT, the first BNL-CERN
140target experiment and other current activities) the R&amp;D necessary for<b>
141our present few&nbsp; 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
155involve the large majority of the European experts in this field and will
156allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance considerably
157the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one hand and will
158develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator physicists
159on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.
160<p>Very limited resources are presently available in Europe for accelerator
161neutrino physics. The LHC crisis appears to inevitably imply reduced support
162from the European agencies, even to the approved CNGS program. <b>Decisive
163added&nbsp; value would result, from </b>the <b>EC support </b>that we
164are requesting here, <b>to the strategic goal of producing a timely European
165initiative and leadership in the fondamental area of neutrino science</b>.<font color="#CCCCCC">
166This applies both to this Networking Activity and to R&amp;D Projects.
167Among those,&nbsp; HIPPI, proposed within this IA, and MICE, entering soon
168its final design phase, appear as the natural continuation of the R&amp;D
169projects (MUSCAT, HARP and the first BNL-CERN target experiment) that,
170as ECFA Muon Study Groups, we have initiated in the recent past.&nbsp;</font>
