TUXKI01 Advances in High Power Targets 676
 
  • H. G. Kirk
 
  High power targets are one of the major issues for both neutron sources and neutrino factories. The paper will review status of studies worldwide, including those at JPARC and SNS etc. Results from the MERIT liquid-jet Hg target experiment at CERN will also be covered.

TUXKI02 Recommendations from the International Scoping Study for a Neutrino Factory 681
 
  • C. R. Prior
 
  The International Scoping Study (ISS), a one-year review set up at the behest of CCLRC, aimed to lay the foundation for a planned international design study (IDS) for a neutrino factory or superbeam facility over the next three to five years. A team of experienced accelerator physicists were asked to examine the accelerator work carried out to date, identify a fully self-consistent and viable scenario, and specify areas for immediate study and R&D. The ISS Report, published in late 2006, makes recommendations for all parts of a Neutrino Factory complex, from the proton driver, through muon production and acceleration to the final decay ring, which directs the neutrino beams through the earth to far detectors. The paper describes these proposals, explaining the reasoning behind them, and outlines the work currently being undertaken in preparation for the IDS.

TUXKI03 Neutrino and Other Beam-Lines at J-PARC 686
 
  • T. Ishida
 
  The T2K project, the next-generation long base-line neutrino oscillation experiment to explore neutrino mass and mixing (further CPV), is one of the main motivations to construct J-PARC, The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex at Tokai. It will employ the 50 GeV proton synchrotron to produce neutrino super-beam, and a 50 kt water Cherenkov neutrino detector at Kamioka mine, Super-Kamiokande, as a far neutrino detector. The baseline length of 295 km. The neutrino beam-line is in the midst of its apparatus production and civil construction, towards the beam commissionning scheduled in April 2009. One of the main features of the beam-line is that the axis of the beam optics is displaced by a few degrees from the far detector direction to produce a narrower and lower neutrino energy spectrum than that of conventional on-axis beam. Our beam-line design makes it possible to adjust the off-axis angle, i.e. neutrino beam energy, to maximize neutrino oscillation effect. In this talk I will also briefly introduce other econdary beam-lines at J-PARC, the hadron beam lines and neutron and muon beam lines.
