INTERNATIONAL
NEUTRINO FACTORY AND SUPERBEAM SCOPING STUDY MEETING
CERN - 22-24 September 2005
This will be the first of four
meetings of the international neutrino factory and superbeam scoping study. The
following ones will be in Japan 23-25 January 2006, in RAL 27-29 April 2006
(TBC, associated with a BENE meeting) and in California 21-23 August 2006 just
before NUFACT06.
See the block agenda and detailed
agendas of the meeting, as well as practical
information such as the mandatory registration, computer
registration and accommodation.
News: The meeting will be braodcast by VRVS and phone conference.
The International Scoping
Study (ISS), madated by the RAL management, is organized jointly by:
-- The ECFA/BENE working groups for future neutrino beams in
Europe and the UK Neutrino Factory
Collaboration;
-- The Neutrino Factory and
Muon Collider Collaboration in the US;
-- The Japan Neutrino Factory
Collaboration.
The ISS was launched at the
occasion of the NUFACT05. It will elaborate the physics case, define the
baseline options for such a facility and its neutrino detectors and identify
the required research and development programme to lay the foundations for a
complete design study proposal. Comparisons will be made with other options
such as beta beams. The scoping study was presented
and endorsed by ECFA.

Any institute or individual
interested in future neutrino physics facilities is encouraged to contribute
and is asked to contact any member of the Programme Committee.
Welcome to the study and
looking forward to seeing you at CERN !

Practical information:
Registration:
Please register using
this form
Accommodations:
can be arranged through CERN Housing Service
Computing: You
need to register with CERN to be allowed access to the network while you're
there. You can start here and
follow the links/instructions. If you don't have a CERN computing account, you
can use this
registration form (you must enter a CERN contact person: someone you know
or you can give the name of the HARP secretary, Patricia Perreard, P.Perreard@cern.ch).
Broadcast:
the meetings that take place in the IT auditorium will be braodcast
by VRVS. The virtual room SATURN has been reserved. See http://www.vrvs.org to learn how to register
and operate VRVS. Although this is easy, if you have not done this before it is
recommended to practice ahead of time!
Phone conference: it will be possible to connect to the parallel sessions on thursday afternoon and friday afternoon
by phone:
call + 41 22 767 7000 and connect as the case may be to
ISS-physics
ISS-accelerators
ISS-detectors
the conference calls have been reserved in the name of
BLONDEL and could start on thursday and friday at 13:45. (11:45 GMT)
