The IDS initiative Must remember to mention: Detector R&D and theorist/phenomenologist/experimenter network

ISS baselines 100 (50) kT magnetised iron detector Two baselines: 3000 – 5000 km 7000 – 8000 km Store μ+ & μ- simultaneously 1021 muon decays/yr Eμ ~ 25 GeV

NuFact06 mandate

Strategic review conclusions Improved knowledge of θ13 Double CHOOZ, T2K, NOνA, … Decision point 2012 High-sensitivity ν-oscillation facility second half of next decade J-PARC, SNS, … Scientific imperative: Neutrino Factory must be an option
