Neutrino Factory IDS

• In the following, discuss only Neutrino Factory
  International Design Study
• Beta beam design study, Mats Lindroos
• Super-beam, Marcos Dracos
• Goal of NF IDS
• Neutrino Factory CDR (2012)
• US definition
• Engineering designs for most components
• Neutrino Factory IDR (2010)
• Marks transition from
• Concept development and RD with engineering
  support to
• Significant engineering effort with
  concept-development and RD programmes to
  mitigate risks, begin to address site-specific
  issues

IDS initiative status

• AhSG two meetings
• 08Dec06, 05Jan07
• IDS www page
• http//www.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/ids
• IDS mailing lists being set up
• Morphed from ISS mailing lists
• Next meetings
• 19-21 February, CERN ISS report editorial
  meeting
• ??-?? March, CERN ISS?IDS meeting

Tasks

• Indicative only!
• Clearly a big job
• Require international collaboration
• Hardest task
• Initiate the activity
• BENE
• Seminal role in initiating international
  collaboration
• Key role in identifying host lab or partnership
  of labs for IDS phase

13
Synergy
Synergy

• Technologies and systems have application in a
  number of facilities
• Planning of IDS must recognise, and seek to
  benefit from, these synergies
• Just as planning of bids to FP7 already is

14
Next steps

• Update WWW pages and announce meetings
• Goal launch IDS initiative at NuFact07
• Is there a need for an interim discussion
  meeting, May?
• Opportunity
• Clear opportunity to build on ISS
• The responsibility of the NF community
