Title: "Neutrinos from stored muon beams: an incremental approach to the Neutrino Factory"
Abstract:
The study of the neutrino is the study of physics beyond the Standard Model. Now that theta-13 has been measured, the focus of the long-baseline neutrino-oscillation programme is to determine the mass hierarchy and to search for leptonic CP-invariance violation. In parallel, some anomalies in short-baseline oscillations can be interpreted as hints for sterile neutrinos. I will explain how neutrinos produced in the decay of stored muon beams have the potential to serve the conventional long-baseline programme, provide definitive measurements of short-baseline oscillations and be developed incrementally to deliver the Neutrino Factory, the facility of choice for the study of neutrino oscillations.
