Title:     Neutrinos from stored muon beams: an incremental approach to the Neutrino Factory

Abstract: The study of the neutrino is the study of physics beyond the Standard Model. Now that theta13 has been measured, the focus of the long-baseline neutrino-oscillation programme is to determine the mass hierarchy and to search for leptonic CP-invariance violation. In parallel, some anomalies in short- baseline oscillations can be interpreted as hints for sterile neutrinos. I will explain how neutrinos produced in the decay of stored muon beams have the potential to serve the conventional long-baseline programme, provide definitive measurements of short-baseline oscillations and be developed incrementally to deliver the Neutrino Factory, the facility of choice for the study of neutrino oscillations.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
