Description
We propose a neutrino beam source based on the Gamma Factory Initiative to develop a source of high-intensity gamma rays using the existing accelerator facilities at CERN. The Partially Stripped Ion beam collides head-on with a laser and emits photons. It could increase the intensity of produced photon beam reaching a flux of the order of $10^{17}$ photons per second, in the $\gamma$ energy domain of $1 \le E_{\gamma} \le 400$ MeV. The high intensity gamma beam will be directed to the graphite target to produce pions. The pions can be focused by a collection device, either with a horn (CERN reference scenario) or a solenoid (US machine design). Further decay of charged pions produces muons and neutrinos.
