“…The neutrinos are ideal for the study of the "Golden" oscillation channels [1] (ν e → ν µ and ν e → ν µ ) where the sign of the detected muon is opposite to that in the storage ring and for the "Platinum" oscillation channels [1] (ν µ → ν e and ν µ → ν e ). Furthermore with 10 21 muon decays per year, this uniquely clean source of neutrinos would enable the study of CP violation in the lepton sector, thus providing the best chance of its discovery [2,3,4].…”

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory aims at demonstrating a ∼ 5% ionization cooling effect on a muon beam by its interaction with low-Z absorber materials followed by restoration of longitudinal momentum in RF cavities. The final configuration of MICE will add to the Step IV hardware a second Focus Coil module and two 201.25 MHz RF cavities to provide a 10.3 MV/m accelerating gradient. This requires an RF drive system and distribution network to deliver ∼2MW of power in 1 ms pulses at 1 Hz repetition rate to each cavity with correct RF phasing and diagnostics to determine the gradient and the muon transit phase. Progress towards the completion of the final configuration is described.

“…The event generators NUANCE and LEPTO were used in combination with GEANT4 to simulate the neutrino deep inelastic, quasi-elastic and pion production interactions. Events were reconstructred by a Kalman filter and a comprehensive analysis to select the oscillation signal, while eliminating the overwhelming background, was achieved (see references [6,10,11] for further details).…”

We illustrate that the baseline Neutrino Factory configuration being developed within the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (the IDS-NF) is optimized for standard oscillation-physics measurements and for searches for new physics. For small values of θ 13 (sin 2 2θ 13 < 10 −2 ) a Neutrino Factory with two storage rings in which 25 GeV muons decay, pointing to two neutrino detectors, one situated at a distance between 2500 to 5000 km, the second between 7000 and 8000 km is optimal. If the value of θ 13 is found to be large (sin 2 2θ 13 > 10 −2 ), a Neutrino Factory in which 10 GeV muons are stored in a single ring provides the best sensitivity for the discovery of CP violation in the neutrino sector, the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and the measurement of θ 13 .

The Neutrino Factory produces high-energy neutrino beams with a well-defined flavour content and energy spectrum from the decay of intense, high-energy, stored muon beams. The muon storage rings include long straight sections that are directed toward neutrino detectors that are sited several thousand kilometers away. This paper outlines the status of the accelerator facility described in the Interim Design Report (IDR) recently completed by the International Design Study for a Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF). We give a baseline specification for the accelerator, describe the accelerator subsystems that comprise it and briefly indicate some of the accelerator-physics challenges that such a facility presents.
