Abstract

Within the framework of three-neutrino and four-neutrino scenarios that can describe the results of the LSND experiment, we consider the capabilities of short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at a neutrino factory. We find that, when short baseline (L\alt100L \alt 100 km) neutrino factory measurements are used together with other accelerator-based oscillation results, the complete three-neutrino parameter space can best be determined by measuring the rate of νeντ\nu_e \to \nu_\tau oscillations, and measuring CP violation with either νeνμ\nu_e \to \nu_\mu or νμντ\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau oscillations (including the corresponding antineutrino channels). With measurements of CP violation in both νeνμ\nu_e \to \nu_\mu and νμντ\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau it may be possible to distinguish between the three- and four-neutrino cases.
