Time line/status Some highlights from existing IDR Beyond the IDR – towards the RDR

3

Time line

Scope finalized(yesterday with other WGs)

Status/contents of document

P. Huber - Editor

5

Status quo (frozen)

Presentation:Low-E and high-E NF as separate options

Migration matrices for HENF 100kt + 50kt MIND for HENF 35 kt TASD for LENF Systematics: use established numbers to

quantify effects of migration matrices 1021 useful muon decays/year

Highlights from IDR

(existing part – TO BE EDITED)

7

Expectations until RDR

Expect 13 discovery if sin2213 > 0.02

8

Physics case?

CPV and MH (90% CL) unlikelyNeed next generation of experiments!

9

HENF: optimization/robustness

4000 km + 7500 km optimal (small 13)

Combination robust wrt New physics Lower

luminosity Systematics

(Xsecs) Long baseline

good for Matter effects Atm. params Mass hierarchy

10

HENF: Performance

11

Recent changes/potential

Sites only rudimentarily discussed …

12

New physics constraintsSterile neutrinos at HENF

3+1 scheme: 3 additional angles

HENF (near detectors) have some sensitivity to very light sterile neutrinos, motivated by cosmology!

arXiv:1007.2419

13

NSI at LENF

LENF has sensitivity to new physics; platinum channel may be useful!

Beyond the IDR

17

Issues beyond IDR

contamination; also in disappearance channel (lower E would suppress any problems …)

Near detector, systematics 50 kt downgrade? Triangular shaped ring? Background versus signal optimization of

MIND? MIND on surface?

+ Learn how to count!(people, money, magnets, …)

18

On systematics

Two storage rings: 4 fluxes; even with 2.5% flux error reasonable performance, 0.1% (ND) has small impact

Reason: Systematics correlations, not just numbers!

Systematics: Have to learn lesson from reactor experiments!

(Mezzetto, Schwetz)

Staging/E cutting points

Define cutting points wisely: 4.5-5 GeV? 12.5 GeV? 25 GeV?

Can be easily related to cost
