Precision era
2
‘Standard’ scenario: Parameters: Presently unknown:
Three mixing angles: 23, 12, 13 CP phase: Mass differences: m223, m212 Presently unknown: Sign of m223 – discovery Precision determination of 13 Search for non-zero – discovery Basis of future precision- measurement programme
3
The case for PRECISION:
Seek to over-constrain standard scenario: Establish standard scenario Show that it is insufficient Requires precision measurements: Quark mixing angles known to better than 1° Sets scale for desired neutrino mixing precision Additional motivation: Models connect quark and lepton mixings (Romanino) To test, require to match quark-mixing angle precision

Beta-beam: analysis Scenario: CERN Frejus (=100:100)
Mezzetto (Padova) Scenario: CERN Frejus (=100:100) Improvements in simulation and analysis: Muon identification: Muon electron separation using SK inspired likelihood Apply tighter cut than SK to insure low background Require to observe e- or e+ from muon decay Result: electron contamination at 10-5 level Energy smearing: Apply Fermi motion smearing, unfold using matrix Other backgrounds: Neutral-current pions: Tight cuts described – strong suppression Atmospheric neutrinos: Duty factor: assume 10 ns bunches

Discussion: desirable timescale
Super-beam Neutrino Factory Beta-beam Concept development (design studies) leading to consensus programme Build Next generation facility Era of precision and sensitivity
32
Goals for NuFact06 Significant progress on phenomenology (& tools):
Nuance, GLoBES – enable like-for-like comparisons Significant progress in definition of facilities Super-beam, beta-beam and Neutrino Factory Need to bring out detector R&D activity Need to raise profile of detector-specific NF Perhaps deserves dedicated parallel session? Discussion: development of next generation facility: In context of scoping study Critical, like-for-like, comparison of facilities. Including consideration of staged build of source/detector. Development of detector options Crucial to develop R&D plan
