Neutrino Factory Design Study

• Introduction
• World Design Study status
• EC Framework 6 Design Studies
• Neutrino Factory Superbeam Design Study

2
Introduction
Two feasibility studies so far in US

• FS 1 FNAL ? performance not good
  enough ? too expensive
• FS 2 BNL ? performance good enough
  ? still too expensive
• FS 3 RAL? - Take FS2 and reduce
  cost - A lot of progress already made

One feasibility study in Japan - based on
FFAG - produced in 2002
Zero feasibility studies in Europe

• Parallel discussion and plenary talk
• Steering group created US Steve
  Geer Bob Palmer Mike Zisman
• Japan Yoshi Kuno Yoshi
  Mori Kenzo Nakamura
• Europe Alain Blondel Rob Edgecock
  (chair) Helmut Haseroth
• Three (phone) meetings so far

WDS Status

• Propose to create 6 sub-collaborations

• Steering Groups being proposed (for those
  without one)

FP6 Design Studies

• HIPPI JRA improving existing infrastructure

Design Studies

• FS and TPW on new infrastructures
• Clear European dimension and interest
• Must systematically explore EIB and Structural
  Funds
• Infrastructure can be outside EU, if EU
  participates
• Upgrade to existing infrastructure, if replaces
  new

FP6 Design Studies
Feasibility Studies
will aim at laying the conceptual foundations of
a potential new or enhanced infrastructure. This
could consist in the basic feasibility study of a
specific new facility or in exploring a new
fundamental technology or technique underpinning
a whole new concept. Alternatively, a feasibility
study could cover the detailed engineering design
of a proposed infrastructure, in particular in
relation to its most technologically advanced
aspects (i.e. excluding the detailed design of
standard elements of the new infrastructure).
Technical Preparatory Work
will cover the development and testing of
components, subsystems, materials or techniques
(including dedicated software) that are critical
for the future development of a new or enhanced
infrastructure. Support will however not be
provided for preparatory work based on existing
or proven techniques or technologies, nor when it
aims at reproducing available components or
materials.
NB Contributions to capital investments are
excluded

Funding

• Assume DS will be 4 years ? end 2008
• Can get 10M from EC
• Must find at least the same from existing
  sources
• Need to check FP6 rules, e.g. MICE beam and inf?
• Third party funding?
• Matching funding/Work Package or total?
• Need to check what capital investments are
• Within these limits, there are no limits!
