    Goran Senjanovic (ICTP, Trieste)
    01/08/2011, 16:00
    I argue that LHC may shed light on the nature of neutrino mass through the probe of the seesaw mechanism. The smoking gun signature is lepton number violation through the production of same sign lepton pairs, a collider analogy of the neutrinoless double beta decay. I discuss this in the context of L-R symmetric theories, which predicted neutrino mass long before experiment and led to the...

    The transverse emittance of the muon beam produced at the Neutrino Factory front-end needs to be decreased using ionisation cooling. The current baseline cooling lattice for the Neutrino Factory, FSIIA, achieves acceptable muon transmission and transverse emittance reduction. However, recent studies indicate that high magnetic field at the position of the RF cavities may limit their maximum...

    Next generation lepton flavour violation experiments require high intensity and high quality muon beams. The PRISM task force focuses on accelerator R&D for realizing such beams using an FFAG ring. The scaling and non-scaling designs for the PRISM FFAG ring are discussed. The recent studies on injection/extraction systems and matching to the solenoid channel are outlined. The future plans for...

    Mr Sam Cook (UCL)

    The MuSIC (Muon Science Innovative Channel) beam line at RCNP (Research Centre for Nuclear Physics, Osaka) will be the most intense source of muons in the world. A proton beam is incident on a target and, by using a novel capture solenoid, guides the produced pions into the beam line where they subsequently decay to muons. This increased muon flux will allow more precise measurements of cLFV...

    Dr Jacques Payet (CEA, IRFU, SACM)

    The beta-beam concept relies on the production, by beta decay of radioactive ions of a very high flux, of an electron neutrino and anti-neutrino beam towards a distant detector. After production and acceleration in an accelerator complex consisting of a rapid cycling synchrotron, the CERN PS and the CERN SPS, the radioactive isotopes are injected into a long racetrack-shaped ring, called the...

    Recent developments of high Tc coated superconductor ((RE)BCO coated conductor) lead to the possibilities of very high field magnets operated at low temperature (~4.2 K) and efficient magnets operated at high temperature (several tens of Kelvin). For accelerator applications, however, the use coated conductors has been considered difficult due to their tape shape. A project funded by Japan...
