Presentation Transcript

  1. S. Geer, K. Long • Charge:(July collaboration meeting) • Neutrinos and our lives (PR motivation) • Neutrino oscillation and the role of NuFact • Other physics at Neutrino Factor complex and muon collider • Neutrino factory description (the accelerator) • Role of cooling in Neutrino Factory and muon collider, the need for MICE General motivation

  2. Neutrinos and our lives: • The Neutrino Factory; the ultimate tool: • Neutrinos from decay of stored muons: intensity, beam composition, known and variable energy • Step on the way to muon collider: perhaps the route of choice to multi-TeV lepton-lepton collisions Recent observations imply neutrinos have mass and mix: • The Standard Model is incomplete astrophysicalconsequences! • Neutrino abundance and neutrino mass: mass in neutrinos ~ that of visible stars • CP violation in lepton sector: Lepto-genesis cosmological consequences! Birth of a new technique for particle physics

  8. Other physics at the Neutrino Factory • High precision -p and -n DIS • PDFs: complete flavour decomposition • Nuclear shadowing • S from xF3 - S~0.003 • |Vcd| and |Vcs|, D0/ D0 mixing • sin2W - sin2W ~ 0.0001 • Polarised structure functions • Beyond the SM searches Deep inelastic scattering Crucial:-N cross-sections for -oscillation measurements

  9. Other physics at the Neutrino Factory (cont.) ‘Other’ physics • Arising from high muon flux • Rare (FL-violating) decays • GSW parameters • Search for CP, T and CPT • Muonium (, m, ) • Muonic atoms (rN, weak interaction) • -spin rotation (condensed matter physics) • Arising from high proton flux • Nuclear physics (heavy nuclei, exotic nuclei) • Nuclear astrophysics • Atomic physics • Medicine • Materials • CVC-hypothesis in beta decay

  10. Neutrino flux: The key to success at NuFct Short muon lifetime requires novel technique:IONISATION COOLING • Physics reach increases with neutrino flux • Maximise stored muon intensity • Implies: • Require to capture and store as many of the ‘decay’ muons as possible Cool muon beam

  11. Ionisation cooling Principle Practice

  12. Neutrino factory cooling channel CERN cooling channel • Ionisation cooling complicated in principle and in practice • Cooling effect comes from delicate balance between cooling (dE/dx) and heating (MCS) • To achieve required cooling (at least a factor of 10) requires a LONG channel • Require to demonstrate cooling works in principle (MuScat) and in practice - MICE

  13. Muon ionisation cooling experiment • Mission statement: • Design, build, commission and operate a realistic section of cooling channel • Measure its performance in a variety of modes of operation and beam conditions i.e. the results of MICE will allow design of Neutrino Factory complex to be optimised with confidence.
