Description
The poor knowledge of neutrino cross sections at the GeV scale is projected to be responsible for some of the leading sources of uncertainty in next-generation oscillation experiments. Current neutrino scattering measurements are difficult to perform and interpret due to the broad-band nature of artificial neutrino beams and associated neutrino flux uncertainties. Building on the ideas and R&D from the ENUBET and NuTAG collaborations, we present a proposal for the nuSCOPE experiment (see arXiv:2503.21589). nuSCOPE is a high-precision, short-baseline neutrino experiment at CERN that employs neutrino monitoring and tagging. This allows for an exceptionally well controlled muon and electron neutrino flux, with the extraordinary capacity to reconstruct neutrino energy on an event-by-event basis. This opens up the possibility for a wealth of cross-section measurements usually reserved only for electron-scattering experiments. In this talk we will describe the proposed beamline, as well as the neutrino monitoring and tagging techniques and performances. We will also illustrate the potential for such a facility to perform precision measurements of neutrino-nucleus cross-sections, as well as searches for physics beyond the standard model.
