The key process is the observation of tiny oscillation mixing between numu and nue related to so far unknown theta13 amplitude, at distances corresponding to an invariant neutrino flight path around about 2.0 MeV/km. Zucchelli [12] has…

We discuss the optimization of a green-field beta beam in terms of baseline, boost factor, luminosity, and isotope pair used. We identify two qualitatively different cases: theta_13 not discovered at the time a decision has to be made…
A high-power neutrino superbeam experiment at the ESS facility has been proposed such that the source-detector distance falls at the second oscillation maximum, giving very good sensitivity towards establishing CP violation. In this work,…
The physics potential of beta beams is investigated from low to very high gamma values and it is compared to superbeams and neutrino factories. The gamma factor and the baseline are treated as continuous variables in the optimization of the…

The next generation of long baseline neutrino experiments will aim at determining the value of the unknown mixing angle, theta_{13}, the type of neutrino mass hierarchy and the presence of CP-violation in the lepton sector. Beta-beams and…
A $\beta$-beam with maximum $\gamma=150$ (for $\helio$ ions) or $\gamma=250$ (for $\neon$) could be achieved at the CERN-SPS. We study the sensitivity to $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$ of such a beam as function of $\gamma$, optimizing with the…
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a next-generation accelerator primarily designed to study the internal structure of nucleons through high-precision electron-hadron collisions. In this work, we explore the feasibility of employing a 1 MW…

For high energy long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, we propose a Figure of Merit criterion to compare the statistical quality of experiments at various oscillation distances under the condition of identical detectors and a given…
We discuss the minimum requirements for a neutrino beta beam if theta_13 is discovered by an upcoming reactor experiment, such as Double Chooz or Daya Bay. We require that both neutrino mass hierarchy and leptonic CP violation can be…
I consider a high-Q beta beam peaking at multi-GeV energy for the baseline CERN-Pyh\"asalmi, with the length of 2288 km, using LENA, a 50 kton liquid scintillator as the far detector. The beta beam is assumed to be accompanied by a…
We study the possibility to use a low energy beta-beam facility to search for sterile neutrinos by measuring the disappearance of electron anti-neutrinos. This channel is particularly sensitive since it allows to use inverse beta decay as…
