Description
We illustrate that the baseline Neutrino Factory configuration being developed within the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (the IDS-NF) is optimised for standard oscillation-physics measurements and for searches for new physics. The possibility that a low-energy Neutrino Factory might be an interesting alternative for large θ_{13} or, in certain physics scenarios, as part of an upgrade programme is also discussed. Finally, the crucial role played by near detectors in the determination of the standard oscillation parameters and in the search for non-standard physics at the Neutrino Factory will be presented.
