Many people could not attend due to the time chosen.
Not able to attend and asked for different meeting time.
Jorge Morfin
Kevin McFarland
Ray Stefanski

We also found that several people who had expressed interest in the group
were not on the mailing list.  We're trying to rectify this.


We first discussed whether exotics and normal DIS should split into two groups.
The discussions were so interesting we probably won't split for now.

General Work plan

     The non-oscillation sub group of the neutrino factory study will be
focusing on the following topics.

-Electroweak measurements
	sin2thetaW measured in nu-e scattering (Schellman?)
	sin2thetaW measured in DIS scattering (Yu?)

-Structure function measurements
  - High statistics measurements of F2 and F3 off of hydrogen and
    deuterium targets.
  - A-dependence of neutrino cross sections (Schellman?)
	Jorge Morfin has expressed interest in general QCD measurements

-Heavy flavor physics and CKM matrix studies.
   This is a big and interesting topic but we don't have anyone identified yet.

-Spin Structure Functions (Velasco, Unel and Eichblatt have expressed interest)

-Exotic particle/interaction searches - Fritz deJongh gave a nice discussion 
of these
 - R-parity violating SUSY search (looking for wrong sign muons). (deJongh and 
Stefanski?)
 - neutrino interactions with "large size" extra dimentions?? (a WIMP
   search?) (deJongh is already doing this)
 - Neutral Heavy Lepton searches 
 - other topics?

     In addition to the above topics there are several topics which may,
or may not, be included in the final report of the study group. However,
we still wish to strongly encourage people to work on these topics, and we
still would like to recruit people to work on these topics and others,
even if they are not included in the final report. We see the studies of
all of these topics possibly being published separately from the final
report.

     While many of these could use the muon storage ring and its neutrino
beams, there is a possibility that the pi and K mesons in the muon
production and capture channel could be another source of neutrinos for
these studies. 

     In order to study these topics more efficiently a certain amount of
"infrastructure" work should be done and quickly.

	Overview of cross sections and formulas (Schellman and Geer)
	neutrino cross section codes, (Harris)
        neutrino beam parameter codes (Geer)

most of the cross section and beam parameter information can be put into 
ntuples, which then can be easily distributed and used by the group.(Schellman
and Harris are working on this)

We also need to avoid reinventing the wheel.  A thorough study of the existing 
literature, in particular CERN writups and the Lyon talks.  In addition, Bruce
King is preparing a long Physics Report type document summarizing much of the
physics listed here -several members of our study group are co-authors on this
and it is expected to be available by the end of the year.  We should use these
resources where available.

     The next meeting of the full neutrino factory study group will be on
10/12 at 11:30 CDT in WH12NW. If that meeting is short, we may be able to use 
the
time afterwards as we have the room until 2.  The official next meeting for 
the
non-oscillation sub-group will be on 10/19 at 11:30 CDT.  We will use the 
WH12NW slot if we can get it.
