The charge for the group will be to deliver a concise report by March
31,
2000 that will explicitly include:
1. The physics motivation for a
neutrino source based
on a muon storage ring, operating in
the era
beyond the current set of neutrino
oscillation
experiments.
2. The physics program
that could be accomplished at a
neutrino factory as a
function of:
(a) The stored muon energy, with the
maximum energy
taken to be 50
GeV.
(b) The number of muon decays per year in the
beam-forming
straight section,
taken to be in the range from
10^19
to 10^21 decays per
year.
(c) The presence or absence of muon polarization
within the
storage
ring.
(d) For oscillation experiments, the baseline
length including
investigations evaluating matter effects.
