The Way Forward ISS to IDS ISS - Ended NuFact 2006 IDS – Starts NuFact 2007 Aims, Structure, Resources

ISS – Recapitulate Instigation A Re-evaluation of the Neutrino Factory Situation Following the earlier studies mainly in the US And a new interest in the UK Was set up very quickly Meeting in London May 2005 – Launched NuFact 2005 Aim A Baseline Scenario for a more detailed study An R&D Programme Originally considered for a Neutrino Factory Solution But with the aim of comparison with other solutions 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan

ISS Structure Resources Physics Accelerator Detectors Why do precision Neutrino Physics Compare the techniques for that phase Accelerator Origiinally Neutrino Factory but extended to Super beams following requests Detectors Sressed importance Considered all possibilities – magnetic and non-magnetic Resources Mainly a paper exercise - therefore mainly travel Institutions, Universities, Funding Agencies, BENE, NFMCC, UKISS 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan

Continuation → the IDS Should we continue? At NuFact06 From this meeting I consider YES At NuFact06 Aims - for the Neutrino Factory Solution An Interim Design Report 2010/11 A Reference Design Report 2012/13 Problem How to Handle the different techniques Superbeam, Betabeam, Neutrino Factory 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan

Proposed Structure at NuFact06 This has cause some Unhappiness So we should discuss! 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan

Obtaining Resources Difficult Need Resources for both travel and R&D FP7 bid to cover aspects of NuFactory, Betabeam and Super beam Other bids for Detector R&D Some from NFMCC and UKNFC But - Need more 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan

Preparing for IDS (NuFact) Launch at NuFact07 An ad-hoc Steering Group has Formed K Long (Co-ordinator), A Blondel, A Bross, P Dornan, M Dracos, R Edgecock, H Kirk. Y Kuno, Y Mori, M Lindroos, N Mondal, Y Nagashima, V Palladino, P Soler, M Zisman, Representatives from Betabeam and Superbeam Community Not Exclusve! All welcome to take part Next Meeting after this Discussion Aim to have a firm plan for the NuFact-IDS by NuFact07 30 Mar 2007 P Dornan
