20 | <td><font color="#000000">The major motivation of a Network Activity and |

21 | also R&D studies in this field is that the collection system |
---|
22 | for the future neutrino beams will have to keep up with unprecendent challenging |
---|
23 | conditions as such as 1) more than one order magnitude more electric stresses |
---|
24 | (expressed in A.Hz) than the MiniBOON Horn and more than two orders |
---|
25 | of magnitudes than the present K2K Horn and the future NuMI and CNGS Horns |
---|
26 | and 2) a huge rapid neutron flux 10^22n/cm^2/6weeks due to the necessary |

27 | integration of the TARGET inside the COLLECTOR system. The NA will attack |

85 | on existing collection systems used in the past and currently in operation |

86 | (MiniBOON/K2K) and in construction (NuMI/CNGS). Then, till end 2006, studies |

87 | will be condcuted, to produce a detail report (R2) on a specific |
---|
88 | solution for the SuperBeam project. Then, till the end of the NA Jan. 2008, |
---|
89 | it is foreseen to produce a detail report (R3) on the different solutions |

90 | that will be avaliable for the Neutrino Factory project. |

91 | <p>The 2 last reports (R2 and R3) will be based on |
