Roadmap You are here Where do we stand? Where do we go? Which way do we chose? Shortest? Cheapest? Fastest? Taking into account practicalities or politics? You want to go there
Where are we? • We know that there are three families of active, light neutrinos (LEP) • Solar neutrino oscillations are established(Homestake+Gallium+Kam+SK+SNO+KamLAND) • Atmospheric (nm -> ) oscillations are established (IMB+Kam+SK+Macro+Sudan+K2K) • At that frequency, electron neutrino oscillations are small (CHOOZ) • This allows a consistent picture with 3-family oscillations • q12~300Dm122~7 10-5eV2 q23~450Dm232~ 2.5 10-3eV2q13 <~ 100 • with several unknown parameters q13, d, mass hierarchy leptonic CP & T violations => an exciting experimental program for at least 25 years *) Where do we go? *)to set the scale: CP violation in quarks was discovered in 1964 and there is still an important program (K0pi0, B-factories, Neutron EDM, LHCb, BTeV….) to go on for >>10 years…i.e. a total of >50 yrs. and we have not discovered leptonic CP yet! 5. LSND ? ( miniBooNe) This result is not consistent with three families of neutrinos oscillating, and is not supported (nor is it completely contradicted) by other experiments. If confirmed, this would be even more exciting See Barger et al PRD 63 033002

! asymmetry is a few % and requires excellent flux normalization (neutrino fact., beta beam or off axis beam with not-too-near near detector) T asymmetry for sin = 1 neutrino factory JHFII-HK JHFI-SK NOTE: This is at first maximum! Sensitivity at low values of q13 is better for short baselines, sensitivity at large values of q13 may be better for longer baselines (2d max or 3d max.) This would desserve a more careful analysis! 10 30 0.10 0.30 90
Road Map • Experiments to find q13 : • 1. search for nmne in conventional nm beam (MINOS, ICARUS/OPERA) • limitations: NC p0 background, intrinsic ne component in beam • 2. Off-axis beam (JHF-SK, off axis NUMI, off axis CNGS) or • 3. Low Energy Superbeam (BNL Homestake, SPL Fréjus) Precision experiments to find CP violation -- or to search further if q13 is too small 1. beta-beam 6He++ 6Li+++ ne e- and 18Ne 10+ 18F 9+ne e+ 2.

T2K (JPARC Super-Kamiokande) • 295 km baseline • J-PARC approved • neutrino beam under discussion but set as first priority by international committee • Proposal to be submitted early 2004 • Super-Kamiokande: • 22.5 kton fiducial • Excellent e/ ID -- 10-3 • Additional 0/e ID -- 10-2 • (for En~ 500 MeV- 1 GeV) • Matter effects small • need near detector! • European collaboration forming (mailing list: UK(5)-Italy(5)-Saclay-Gva-ETHZ- Spain(2)) This experiment is at the right ratio of Energy to distance Lmax = 300 km at 0.6 GeV

Either 280 m or 2 km would be good locations for a very fine grained neutrino detector Planned: a scintillating fiber/water calorimeter. Liquid argon TPC would be a very good (better) candidate! Event numbers: near/SK = m(near[tons]) / 22500 . (300/2)2 = m(near[tons]) => Need 10-50 tons fiducial or so 1.5km 295km 280m

Motivations to go beyond this… • Intrinsic limits of conventional neutrino beams (intensity, purity, only nm , low energy ) • Go back to Europe and try to establish a CERN-based program on the long run The common source: SPL SPL physics workshop: 25-26 May 2004 CERN SPSC Cogne meeting sept.2004 Superbeam/neutrino Factory design study Neutrino factory The ultimate tool for neutrino oscillations SPL HIPPI Superbeam EURISOL design study APEC design study Very large underground lab Water Cerenkov, Liq.Arg Beta beam EURISOL
Possible step 0: Neutrino SUPERBEAM 300 MeV n m Neutrinos small contamination from ne (no K at 2 GeV!) Fréjus underground lab. A large underground water Cerenkov (400 kton) UNO/HyperK or/and a large L.Arg detector. also : proton decay search, supernovae events solar and atmospheric neutrinos. Performance similar to J-PARC II There is a window of opportunity for digging the cavern stating in 2008 (safety tunnel in Frejus)

Combination of beta beam with low energy super beam Unique to CERN: need few 100 GeV accelerator (PS + SPS will do!) experience in radioactive beams at ISOLDE many unknowns: what is the duty factor that can be achieved? (needs < 10-3 ) combines CP and T violation tests e m (+) (T) m e (p+) (CP) e m (-) (T) m e (p-) Can this work???? theoretical studies now on beta beam + SPL target and horn R&D design study together with EURISOL
DUTY FACTOR (this is an issue for low energy superbeam and beta beam) • Sub-GeV Atmospheric Neutrino interactions are at rate ~100/kt/year. • ~ 50% ne and 50% nm • For a 500 kton detector this will give 50 000 events of the wrong lepton • At this energy the directionality if poor (cuts will not be effective) • It is necesary to discriminate with timing! • Duty factor required < 10-3 • SPL (50 Hz), needs 20 microseconds every 20 ms. (accumulator) • Betabeam : needs stacking of ions along the perimeter of the SR. (2 bunches of 10ns / 7km) (more bunches of same intensity OK)

CP asymmetries compare ne to ne probabilities m is prop matter density, positive for neutrinos, negative for antineutrinos HUGE effect for distance around 6000 km!! Resonance around 12 GeV when = 0
5-10 GeV 10-20 GeV 20-30 GeV 30-40 GeV 40-50 GeV CP violation (ctd) • Matter effect must be subtracted. One believes this can be done with uncertainty • Of order 2%. Also spectrum of matter effect and CP violation is different • It is important to subtract in bins of measured energy. • knowledge of spectrum is essential here! 40 kton L M D 50 GeV nufact 5 yrs 1021m /yr In fact, 20-30 GeV Is enough! Best distance is 2500-3500 km e.g. Fermilab or BNL -> west coast or …
Silver A. Donini et al channel at neutrino factory High energy neutrinos at NuFact allow observation of net (wrong sign muons with missing energy and P). UNIQUE Liquid Argon or OPERA-like detector at 3000 km. Since the sind dependence has opposite sign with the wrong sign muons, this solves ambiguities that will invariably appear if only wrong sign muons are used. ambiguities with only wrong sign muons (3500 km) associating taus to muons (no efficencies, but only OPERA mass) studies on-going equal event number curves muon vstaus

The proposed Roadmap M. Vretenar • Consistently with the recent DG talk on the future of CERN, is in preparation a document (“Future Projects and Associated R&D”) to be presented at the December Council. • The chapter “Upgrade of the Proton Injector Complex” presents a roadmap, consistent with 2 basic assumptions: • construction of Linac4 2007/10 (before end of LHC payment) • construction of SPL in 2008/15 (after end of LHC payments) Linac 4 approval SPL approval LHC upgrade
L. Mosca This fits very well!
Some Critical issues Super beam & Neutrino Factory SPL cost, cleanliness, power limits capability to handle different time structures Accumulation of protons Target and target station Collection (Horn at high radiation and high rep rate) Design/optimization of multihorn system and decay tunel Muon Cooling of large emittance muon beam (MICE + kickers) Fast and cheap accceleration (RF source, FFAG, kickers) Beta beam Ion yields Activation Stacking Do we need a new PS? Megaton detector What size cavity can be dug? cost/time scale Photosensitive devices!!! Other detector (Larg, other) safety….
Motivations to go beyond this… • Intrinsic limits of conventional neutrino beams (intensity, purity, only nm , low energy ) • Go back to Europe and try to establish a CERN-based program on the long run The common source: SPL SPL physics workshop: May 2004 CERN SPC Cogne meeting sept.2004 Superbeam/neutrino Factory design study Neutrino factory The ultimate tool for neutrino oscillations SPL HIPPI Superbeam EURISOL design study APEC design study Very large underground lab Water Cerenkov, L.Arg Beta beam EURISOL
EMCOG (European Muon Concertation and Oversight Group) • FIRST SET OF BASIC GOALS • The long-term goal is to have a Conceptual Design Report for a European Neutrino Factory Complex by the time of JHF & LHC start-up, so that, by that date, this would be a valid option for the future of CERN. • An earlier construction for the proton driver (SPL + accumulator & compressor rings) is conceivable and, of course, highly desirable. • The SPL and targetry and horn R&D have therefore to be given the highest priority. • Cooling is on the critical path for the neutrino factory itself; there is a consensus that a cooling experiment is a necessity. • The emphasis should be the definition of • practical experimental projects with a duration of 2-5 years. • Such projects can be seen in the following four areas:
Neutrino Factory studies and R&D USA, Europe, Japan have each their scheme. Only one has been costed, US study II: + detector: MINOS * 10 = about 300 M€ or M$ Neutrino Factory CAN be done…..but it is too expensive as is. Aim: ascertain challenges can be met + cut cost in half.
High intensity proton driver. Activities on the front end are ongoing in many laboratories in Europe, in particular at CERN, CEA, IN2P3, INFN and GSI. Progressive installation of a high intensity injector and of a linear accelerator up to 120 MeV at CERN (R. Garoby et al) would have immediate rewards in the increase of intensity for the CERN fixed target program and for LHC operation. This (HIPPI) has received funding from EU! • 2.Target studiesproblem at 4 MW!! • . This experimental program is underway with liquid metal jet studies. Goal: explore synergies among the following parties involved: CERN, Lausanne, Megapie at PSI, EURISOL, etc… • Experiment at CERN under consideration by the collaboration. (H. Kirk et al) • 3.Horn studies.Problem at 50 Hz and 4 MW • A first horn prototype has been built and pulsed at low intensity. Mechanical properties measured (S. Gilardoni’s thesis, GVA) • 5 year program to reach high intensity, high rep rate pulsing, and study the radiation resistance of horns. Optimisation of horn shape. IN2P3 Orsay has become leading house for this. Collaborations to be sought with Saclay, PSI (for material research and fatigue under high stress in radiation environment) • Muon Ionization CoolingNever done! • A collaboration towards and International cooling experiment MICE has been established with the muon collaboration in United States and Japanese groups. There is a large interest from European groups in this experiment. Following the submission of a letter of Intent to PSI and RAL, the collaboration has prepared a full proposal at RAL. • Proposal has been strongly encouraged and large UK funding secured (10M£). • PSI offers a solenoid for the muon beam line • CERN, which as already made large initial contributions in the concept of the experiment, • has earmarked some very precious hardware that could be recuperated. (RF! Cryo?) • More collaboration needed from European institutes outside UK.

Horn design – not a finished issue Lateral reflector …. To do better : can one place a reflector on the axis – exposed to the 4 MW proton beam power? Question: what is the best proton energy? (can go up to 4 or 5 GeV protons with SPL ++) Probably would like to match the beta-beam energy (600 MeV) Contact S. Gilardoni (UniGe) J.E. Campagne LAL Orsay
10% cooling of 200 MeV/c muons requires ~ 20 MV of RF single particle measurements => measurement precision can be as good as D ( e out/e in ) = 10-3 never done before either….

Incoming muon beam Trackers 1 & 2 measurement of emittance in and out
COOLING RINGS Two goals: 1) Reduce hardware expense on cooling channel 2) Combine with energy spread reduction (longitudinal and transverse cooling) major problem: Kickers (Same problem occurs in Japanese acceleration scheme with FFAG)
NB: a standard cyclotron would be MUCH smaller and inexpensive but would have much smaller acceptance and could not be scaled up to higher energies. Yoshi Mori
SPL Physics workshop 24-25 May 2004 EMCOG recommended a study of SPL physics opportunities in the framework of the ECFA working groups and BENE (neutrinos + low energy muons + Eurisol + …) SuperBeam/neutrino Factory design study EMCOG fully endorses the proposal and calls for proposals for the R&D experiments. It is stressed that support from the home countries and laboratories is essential to complete the EU funding. Beta-beam design study EMCOG finds this possibility very promising and deserving a thorough study in the best conditions. The subject is very specific and pertinent to a particular site and would justify a separate design study. This has been accepted as a EURISOL work package. EU call for proposal 11 November 2003 Dead line for submission 4 March 2004 Full presentation to community: muon week 16-19 February 2004
