From Superbeams to Neutrino Factories

摘要

The Neutrino Factory, which produces an extremely intense source of flavor-tagged neutrinos from muon decays in a storage ring, arguably gives the best physics reach for CP violation, as well as virtually all parameters in the neutrino oscillation parameter space. I will briefly describe the physics capabilities of the baseline Neutrino Factory as compared to other possible future facilities (β-beam and super-beam facilities), give an overview of the accelerator complex and describe in detail the current international R&D program.
