The Physics Case for a Neutrino Factory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2022-03-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Neutrino factories, neutrino beams produced in the decay of a muon or antimuon beam inside a storage ring, yield cleaner, richer, and more flexible neutrino beams relative to super-beams. We explore the physics case for this type of beam both for standard oscillation as well as new physics searches and present some machine options. We argue that there is a rich program beyond what the current neutrino program can cover and a string synergy with the muon collider program.
