IntroductionIntroduction

CERN layout: 2.2 GeV protons; 50 GeV muons

Page 4: NuFact’02 Summary of NuFact’02 Rob Edgecock CERN-PS & RAL

IntroductionIntroduction

NF capable of producing intense beams of

Neutrinos: long baseline neutrino oscillations (only future project guaranteed physics BSM)

Neutrinos: short baseline, high precision physics studies

Muons: precision measurements, MuSR, MuCF, etc

Kaons: rare decays, etc

Test bed for

High power proton projects: neutron spallation, waste transmutation, etc

Muon collider: particularly cooling

• Neutrino Factory is still the best

• We must continue with the R&D!

• Resources are scarce:Cannot do everything Must build complementary programmebased on physics

• Degeneracy: Better SB + large (water) detector thantwo NF detectors – SN, proton decay, etc

• Weighing difference proposals will be painful

• Delicate balance:keep growingprevent fragmentation

ConclusionsConclusions

• NuFact’02: very enjoyable and well organised

• Nice location (despite the weather)

• Good attendance

• Lots of new ideas

• NF is still the ultimate LBL neutrino oscillation facility

• Very important R&D continues

• Need a complementary oscillation programme
