44	<p>The <a href="http://muonstoragerings.web.cern.ch/muonstoragerings/Welcome.html">Working
45	Groups, endorsed by ECFA </a>since 2000 with the mandate to propose and
46	prepare the evolution of European research in the field of neutrino physics
47	beyond the present CNGS, propose to structure themselves as a FP6 Networking
48	Activity where accelerator and particle physicists together and coherently
49	plan the technical effort, by comparing the physics reach of the different
50	approaches while closely monitoring the rapid evolution of the field. <b>We
51	intend to investigate coherently</b>,  defining and preparing
52	the necessary R&D, <b>the main options for  n  infrastructures
53	of superior intensity to be upgraded and/or built</b>.
54	<p>Our preliminary road map can be so outlined. The <b>Neutrino Factory</b>,
55	novel multi-accelerator complex whose final stage is a high energy <font color="#FF0000">m</font>
56	storage & decay ring, promises the ultimate tool for precise study
57	of  <font color="#FF0000">nm  </font>& <font color="#FF0000">ne</font>
58	properties. Its high power p-driver will also offer, however, early on
59	the way,  the possibility of a <b>SuperBeam</b>, a superior <font color="#FF0000">nm</font>
60	beam still based on a conventional p decay tunnel  (as well as of
61	an  unprecedented facility for fundamental  experiments
62	with  slow <font color="#FF0000">m</font>). Later, the road may well
63	include a branch leading to the unique complentary physics reach of the
64	<b>BetaBeam</b>, pure <font color="#FF0000">ne</font>  beam from a
65	high energy b-active ion storage & decay  ring, recently proposed
66	at CERN based on part of its existing accelerator complex. <b>Integrating
67	all the proposed studies, we aim at developping</b>, from the present basic
68	conceptual road map, <b>a true road-map of technical milestones for the
69	realization of a new powerful evolutive European neutrino facility. </b>
70	<p><b><i><font color="#FF0000">Longer description to stay here?</font></i></b>
71	<p><b>The investigation of the properties of neutrinos </b><font color="#FF0000">(n)</font>,
72	70 years after the invention, 46 after the discovery of the ne, 22 after
73	the discovery of the third and so far last nt species, <b>is and will still
74	long be</b> <b>revealing to us fundamental and unique information </b>on
75	the basic nature and texture of fundamental matter.
76	<p>Recent experiments have established transitions in flight of one <font color="#FF0000">n</font>
77	into another, very likely to be oscillations over two independent long
78	baselines (LBL), Thus <font color="#FF0000">n</font> do have non zero mixing
79	rates and non zero masses. The exceptional smallness of the masses points
80	to the existence of new fundamental physics occurring at a very high-energy
81	scale, providing indeed the first experimental opportunity to explore it.
82	The pattern of large mixings is likely to carry the imprint of this new
83	specific physics mechanism and, even more importantly, points to the possibility
84	of a large leptonic CP violation phase. If true, that may be a key ingredient
85	in the understanding of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe
86	(including the existence of our own physical bodies!), rooting it in a
87	fundamental asymmetry of the mechanism of primordial lepto-genesis by decay
88	of very heavy neutrinos.
89	<p>This opens a field of research which will last several decades, perform
90	the complete mapping of the patterns of masses and mixings and culminate
91	with the discovery of leptonic CP violation. Long baselines  impose
92	very high power, as constraints on the physics at the new scale will come
93	only from good statistics precision measurements. <b>These studies will
94	thus require an important investment in accelerator-based neutrino beams
95	and experiments</b>, improving significantly the present facilities and/or
96	developing new ones. <i>Proposed underground neutrino detector locations,
97	both existing and new, will also need careful scrutiny.</i>
98	<p>The present European program (CNGS) is expected to produce decisive
99	evidence of nutau appearance. It can greatly benefit from R&D towards
100	improved performance. In addition. by the time of his operation, we must
101	have a clear view of the nature, characteristics and logistics of the investments
102	necessary for a further major upgrade of our discovery potential in this
103	sector. We plan to channel
104	<br>all our efforts towards the <b>global strategic objective </b>of submitting,
105	to the  European funding agencies and laboratory director,  <b>a
106	complete Conceptual Design Report (CDR ) of  an upgraded and/or new
107	European neutrino facility by 2008</b>, that appears the earliest conceivable
108	date for new significant investments in an European particle physics program.
109	<p>This Networking Activity on neutrino beams, together with the Design
110	Study that we will soon be also proposing, aims at making such a CDRpossible.<b>
111	We plan to  investigate coherently</b> the requirements posed on accelerators
112	by this long term program of experimental LBLneutrino physics, defining
113	and preparing the R&D necessary for <b>the few main options </b>of
114	future n  beams of unprecedented intensity. Our preliminary road map
115	can be so outlined. The <b>Neutrino Factory</b> (NuFact), novel multi-accelerator
116	complex whose final stage is a high energy <font color="#FF0000">m </font>
117	storage & decay ring, <b>promises the ultimate tool </b>for precise
118	study of<font color="#FF0000"> nm  & ne </font> properties.
119	Its superior reach largely stems from the unprecedented possibilty of accelerating
120	and storing the neutrino parents. Its high power p-driver alone will already
121	offer, however, <b>early on the way, the intermediate physics reach of
122	a SuperBeam, </b>a superior <font color="#FF0000">nm</font> beam still
123	based on a conventional p decay tunel  (as well as of an  unprecedented
124	facility for fundamental  experiments  with  slow <font color="#FF0000">m
125	</font>). <b>Later,</b> the road <b>may </b>well include a<b> branch </b>leading
126	<b>to the unique complentary physics reach of the BetaBeam, </b>pure <font color="#FF0000">ne </font>
127	beam from a high energy b-active ion storage & decay  ring, recently
128	proposed at CERN based on part of its existing accelerator complex.
129	<p>Some of the techniques involved in producing such proton, pion, muon
130	and radioactive ion beams are used at present while some are still at the
131	conceptual stage. Problems related to delivering and sustaining high power,
132	collect efficiently pions, muons or ions in very severe environment, reduce
133	their phase space, accelerate and store them will have to be tackled.
134	<i>To this end, we propose </i>
135	<p><i>q    a systematic investigation of the various accelerator
136	options mentioned above, </i>
137	<br><i>q    a study of their technical limitations and </i>
138	<br><i>q    a study of their comparative merit and physics
139	reach. </i>
140	<p>This will be necessary in all the sectors of our effort, where often
141	equally promising  but different solutions are being pursued. Most
142	striking example, perhaps, are  the approaches to the problem
143	<br>of the large emittance of the muons emerging from the first stages
144	("front end") of a NuFact. European and American preliminary baseline designs
145	both thrive on  ionization cooling (though with two significantly
146	different schemes, 88 and 200 MHz respectively), while the Japanese scheme
147	relies on little or no cooling, by means of a cascade of  very large
148	aperture (Fixed Field Alternated Gradient) accelerators.
149	<p><i>The possibility to upgrade the present accelerators as well as the
150	development of new facilities will be studied, the critical issues will
151	be identified and attempt to propose solutions which can be supported by
152	accelerator R&D will be made</i>.<b> Integrating all the proposed studies,
153	we aim at developping</b>, from the present basic conceptual road map,
154	<b>a true road-map of technical milestones for the realization of a new
155	powerful evolutive European neutrino facility. </b>
156	<p><i>Such a coherent and coordinated European program on neutrino beams
157	will involve the large majority of the European experts in this field and
158	will allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance considerably
159	the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one hand and will
160	develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator physicists
161	on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.</i>
162	<p>Very limited resources are presently available in Europe for accelerator
163	neutrino physics. The LHC crisis appears to inevitably imply reduced support
164	from the European agencies, even to the approved CNGS program. <b>Decisive
165	added  value would result, from </b>the <b>EC support </b>that we
166	are requesting here, <b>to the strategic goal of producing a timely European
167	initiative and leadership in the fondamental area of neutrino science</b>.
168	This applies both to this Networking Activity and to R&D Projects.
169	Among those,  HIPPI, proposed within this I, and MICE, entering soon
170	its final design phase, appear as the natural continuation of the R&D
171	projects (MUSCAT, HARP and the first BNL-CERN target experiment) that,
172	as ECFA Muon Study Groups, we have initiated in the recent past. </td>

1013	<p> .....  specify the  deliverables  ......
1014	<p>The expected outcome of the NA will consist of technical notes, articles,
1015	reports, proceedings of workshops and meetings devoted to the solve (or
1016	prepare solution of) all problems necessary to launch in the shortest possible
1017	time complete conceptual design studies of a realistic option for each
1018	of the three mentioned types of future neutrino source.
1019	<p>NB More work needed, considering that the main delivrables of a NA are
1020	described by the EC as
1021	<br> -the organization of general meetings, workshops or specialized
1022	meeting with corresponding proceedings. Normally, the general meetings
1023	are meant to identify limitations, establish the state-of-the-art and share
1024	expertise, workshops and specialized meetings are meant to study particular
1025	issues.
1026	<br>Important deliverables will be also
1027	<br>-reports on comparative studies,
1028	<br>- development of roadmaps,
1029	<br>- definitions of joint research projects for which EU funding could
1030	be requested at a later stage.
1031	<br>Other delivrables could be
1032	<br>- the definition and selection of common protocols, for example for
1033	portability of software
1034	<br>-  databases
1035	<br>-  simulation codes and their maintenance.
1036	<br>In any case, a detailed plan of the activities for the 18 first months
1037	with clear objectives and delivrables should be proposed and the longer-term
1038	perspectives should be explicited.

1044	<p><b>PHYSICS</b>
1045	<br><b>CNGS </b>?
1046	<br><b>DRIVER.</b>
1047	<br>Meetings will be held regularly (about once every 2 months) to discuss
1048	progresses, and a general workshop once a year is foreseen. Proceedings
1049	will be published describing the results obtained and the strategy to further
1050	develop the R&D topics. The broadening of expertise within the network
1051	will allow a better definition of technological developments to be undergone.
1052	The creation and maintenance of a website will facilitate the sharing of
1053	information.
1054	<br>Another important topic of the meetings and workshops will be a prospective
1055	to further extend the possible applications of such high intensity proton
1056	drivers in other physics domains and for practical applications. This would
1057	be an extra bonus to the R&D pursued within the HIPPI JRP. In addition,
1058	the regular publication of reports is a quality insurance of the JRPs.
1059	<br><b>TARGET </b>The main oustanding expected deliverable is a consensus
1060	on the best way forward for the successful construction of targets for
1061	a European Neutrino Factory. Individual deliverables are expected to be
1062	1) a comprehensive summary report, reviewing the present status 2) solidly
1063	rooted links with the presently loosely tied existing world wide expertise
1064	3) establishment in Europe of the best possible up-to-date and durable
1065	knowledge base of world wide activities in target development 4) careful
1066	& structured dissemination of information and progress 4) detailed
1067	investigation and documentation of the possible solutions of the limitations
1068	of each of the technological options 5) expression of interest and proposals
1069	of  detailed and realistic R&D projects capable to prove the solutions
1070	<br><b>COLLECTOR</b> The main expected deliverable is a comprehensive final
1071	report on horn designs, proposing multiple specific solutions respectivelly
1072	adequate to performance and lifetime requirements in a classical beam,
1073	a superbeam and ultimately in a neutrino factories.This will be based on
1074	detailed thermo-mechanical simulations, complete technical specification
1075	of electric supply and discharge equipment and state-of -the art knowledge
1076	of mechanical properties of alloys under high rate neutron irradiation.
1077	It will include specific solutions to the choices ( of material for the
1078	collection device, of machining, soldering and assembling techniques, of
1079	heat removal and cooling system) necessary to achieve a lifetime
1080	of 200 M pulses or more, as well as to the problems of real life integration
1081	of horn and target and of  periodic replacement of either or both
1082	after 200 M pulses, in the average.
1083	<br><b>COOLING </b>Main deliverables are 0) Formation of a European muon
1084	front end network , with consolidated link with US and Japan 1) Determination
1085	of the performance of the European  design incorporating realistic
1086	fields and real engineerization. 2) Simulation of cooling free  front
1087	ends in  comparison with our baseline; quantitative appraisal
1088	of  the indispensability of cooling 3) Simulation of front ends based
1089	on cooling rings 4)Assessment of the technologies required by <i>1)2) &
1090	3)</i> and of  their feasibility 5) Proposal of a coherent R&D
1091	program as a result of this assessment 6) Determination of the resolution
1092	of MICE (in the measurement of emittance and emittance reduction) and of
1093	its potential beyond its baseline measurements plans
1094	<br><b>BETABEAM</b>
1095	<br>We aims at a team including RAL, TSL in Uppsala, GSI, GANIL, INFN Legnaro
1096	associating TRIUMF and FermiLab. Its expected deliverables in the first
1097	18 months are
1098	<br>1) Meeting at GSI in September 2003: Follow up of Moriond in March
1099	and discussions on possible synergy with the future GSI design study.2)
1100	International workshop on a beta-beam facility in June 2004 3) Theoretical
1101	study and appraisal of experimental tests of longitudinal stacking scheme
1102	for the decay ring (in the CERN PS) 4) Computer simulation and theoretical
1103	study of losses in the decay ring 5) Proposal for targets to be tested
1104	for the production of suitable beta-beam isotopes 6) Study of cyclotron
1105	injection into a storage ring using a charge injection scheme (TSL and
1106	Triumf)
1107	<br>7) Study of dynamic aperture in the SPS (RAL)
1108	<br>A comprehensive report, "Ideas for a beta-beam facility", would conclude
1109	the first 18 months  Further meetings would be held at least once
1110	a year but it will depend on a possible design study. Reports will be delivered
1111	as conference papers and as CERN reports. The next stage would be a conceptual
1112	design report but the likely date for that would heavily depend on a possible
1113	design study.
1114	<br>Only fresh resources, presently unavailable, would evidently permit
1115	us to address a larger number of issues such as: lattice for decay ring
1116	and storage ring, optics for transfer lines and injection line, full simulation
1117	of stacking scheme, full simulation of losses, test of injection schemes
1118	(both storage ring and decayring), construction and test of prototype target
1119	at ISOLDE and test of targets at TRIUMF with a high intensity proton.

1227	organized 3 to 4 times a year. . In addition one or two dedicated workshop
1228	are foreseen per year.
1229	<p>The international community meets once a year at the occasion of the

1231	since 2002, yearly on the same location of the Workshop ... <i>this does

1233	<p>Such a coherent and coordinated European program on neutrino beams will
1234	involve the large majority of the European experts in this field and will
1235	allow Europe to play a world leader role. It will enhance considerably
1236	the collaboration between accelerator physicists on the one hand and will
1237	develop a synergy between particle physicists and accelerator physicists
1238	on the other, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the field.
1239	<br>R&D experiments and projects as the ones being performed (HARP,
1240	high intensity target R&D, horn R&D etc )  or planned (MICE),
1241	will be pursued and multiplied , will mark the technical progress of our
1242	studies and will provide training and learning opportunities to large number

1649	<p>No attempt to fill the financial table has been done yet. Only an early
1650	first rough underestimate of the level of funding useful to adequately
1651	<br>reinforce participation to these network of activities in 2004-7 was
1652	performed several weeks ago and is reproposed here as such for now.
1653	<p>1) assuming that about 20 people would be supported to travel for each
1654	of the  Weeks, at 1000 € each, 60 to 80 K€ per year are
1655	needed
1656	<p>2) 20 to 40 researchers would be supported to travel to the NuFact Workshop
1657	(faculty and postdocs) and/or the NuFact School (postdocs
1658	<br>and students). About 40 to 80  K€ per year will be needed
1659	<p>3) additional funds will be needed to cover expenses of invited speakers
1660	to the Weeks
1661	<p>4) additional funds will be needed to support participation to dedicated
1662	workshops.
1663	<p>A request of 800 to 1000 K€ over 4 years emerged at the time, to
1664	be soon seriously revised.
1665	<p>The Guide for proposers implies that the main cost is to be requested
1666	for the organization of meetings, travel and subsistence expenses. In some
1667	special case, the cost of for hiring a postdocs or a student can be supported
1668	provided his task is a service task (such as maintenance and exportability
1669	of code, database
1670	). EU funding can cover up to 100% of the real costs
1671	of the networking activities. No explicit limit is indicated, however it
1672	seems that total amounts largely exceeding 1 Meuros for each NA over the
1673	entire IA period (i.e. 5 years) will be difficult to obtain.
1674	<p><i>We are seriously considering requesting also the cost for hiring
1675	a postdoc in charge of the centralization, maintenance and distribution
1676	of the NA patrimony of simulation codes and of the NA Website. </i></td>
