A
possible neutrino beam at CERN?
The idea to revive the PS neutrino beam at CERN is under discussion.
Most information is contained in the P311 proposal from 1999.
The idea was revived by C. Rubbia et al in 2009
at the workshop on New Opportunities in the Physics Landscape at CERN
and at the workshop on European
Strategy for Future Neutrino Physics
More information and ideas on the possible use of this beam will be discussed in the upcoming meeting. One can refer to the above for physics reach on the ‘LSND oscillation`or for search of sterile neutrinos. There may be less speculative applications such as:
Cross-section
measurements
The Minerva proposal (especially the physics CDR ) contains an extensive review of the subject of cross-sections and clearly shows that MINERvA will be limited to around 400 MeV.
-- Can one do better with an off-axis detector?
-- Can one attack somehow the subject of electron-neutrino vs muon-neutrino cross sections at low enegy or near pion threshold?
