NuFact&Superbeam Design Study
Rob Edgecock(RAL) and Marcos Dracos(IN2P3) have taken the responsibility to start a WG assembling a first skeleton of proposal to be
presented at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). This was given good priority by ESGARD and is at the moment the most promising immediate
option that we have.
Betabeam Design Study
A DS study is already in progress in the Eurisol framework. Mats Lindroos (CERN) has taken the task to explore within the present DS a first
skeleton of a second phase proposal. At the moment, however, it appears that we will have to delay this to the later FP7 DS call. Mats will
present his present thinking at CARE06
Several Joint Research Activities (JRA),
IA1- European proton accelerator R&D
high power option for a proton driver sector JRA
M. Zito/CEA and J. Pozimski /RAL will follow it
target sector (a WP in a larger JRA? )
C. Densham/RAL and M. Dracos/IN2P3 have taken the charge of establishing contacts
A Networking Activity (NA) containing a fraction of BENE areas of interest could be accommodated in this IA.
IA2-Novel accelerating techniques
Strengthening "our" new RAL muon facility could be part of it too. A MICE JRA is being prepared by K. Kyberd and A. Blondel.
A JRA on FFAG’s. Francois Meot (IN2P3/CEA) has accepted the task, in collaboration with R. Edgecock, S. Machida
No discussion on any Networking Activity (NA) nor Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA.
IA3 Superconducting RF (SCRF) accelerators R&D:
Rebecca Saviour of Lancaster has accepted to be BENE’s RF expert that will foster BENE interests in this IA.

BENE efforts for FP7
Please contact us and join to help
FP7 is finally starting. A first FP7 call, for Design studies, is expected before the end of the year. Proposals will be due in April, a few months later. Approval could bring first funding at the beginnining of
2008 or so.
A second call, for Integrating Activities, is expected Nov 07, with Mar 08 as a deadline, with first funding early 2009. This must contain NAs, TAs, JRAs, see below
Next relevant calls 2009 !!! We should not be stalling for two more years !!
We need the largest possible consensus and coherence. It will clearly not be easy to assemble all the conditions, support from CERN and National agencies and Laboratories, for successful bids.
According to the recent ESGARD/CARE preliminary plan, see http://bene.web.cern.ch/bene/Working-groups_mandate.doc, BENE could file bids for
Two Design Studies (DS): DS’s are studies of feasibility, to be carried out by a European collaboration, funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with international partners. Recent news
are that the contribution from EC could be larger than originally indicated, as large as 5 M Euros, and R&D work could be included in addition to feasibility studied.
NuFact&Superbeam Design Study
Rob Edgecock(RAL) and Marcos Dracos(IN2P3) have taken the responsibility to start a WG assembling a first skeleton of proposal to be presented at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17). This was given good priority by
ESGARD and is at the moment the most promising immediate option that we have.
Betabeam Design Study
A DS study is already in progress in the Eurisol framework. Mats Lindroos (CERN) has taken the task to explore within the present DS a first skeleton of a second phase proposal. At the moment, however, it appears
that we will have to delay this to the later FP7 DS call. Mats will present his present thinking at CARE06 in Frascati (Nov14-17).
Several Joint Research Activities (JRA), JRA’s are technical R&D projects on realization of key prototypes, demonstrations of performance
and the like, to be carried out by a European collaboration , funded (presumably for about 1/3?) by EU and working in collaboration with
international partners.
Bids for JRA’s should take place within the framework of one of the Integrating Activities that ESGARD intends to promote. Many
LOI’s have been received by ESGARD and more are coming. The task is now the one to select the ones to be actually proposed as JRA’s
within Ia’s. At the moment, three IA’s are envisaged, but a different format is not excluded.
A first meeting of the task force preparing these proposals took place at CERN on Oct 30. A brief summary of the state of each follows
Presentations from the three coordinators will be presented at CARE06 on Thu Nov 16 afternoon.
IA1- European proton accelerator R&D
R. Garoby is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. The general theme is proton accelerator R&D, strengthening LHC
and the CERN p complex. The total cost of related LOIs is well above 60 M, a reasonable goal is applying for 15 M from EU, with 45 M
as total budget. Activities relevant for future neutrino beams would take place in the high power proton driver sector (a JRA being
proposed in this area under the responsability of Garoby and collaborators). M. Zito/CEA and J. Pozimski /RAL and others will follow
this for BENE exploring also opportunities in the sector of Rapid Cycling Synchrothrons for neutrino applications (NB we need them to
be truly rapid, 50 Hz eventually, and therefore NC!).) and target sector (where a WP on high power targetry & collection can be envisaged
within a JRA on high power and radiation deposition in materials, chiefly motivated by the R&D for a high quality collimators for LHC).
C. Densham/RAL and M. Dracos/IN2P3 have taken the charge of establishing contacts with all EU experts, in and out of the particle physics
community, in particular the CERN CNGS and ISOLDE experts, and to try to define the content of such a WP. CARE06 in Frascati should
help these contacts. A Networking Activity (NA) containing a fraction of BENE areas of interest could be accommodated in this IA.
Transnational Access options have not yet been seriously considered yet.
IA2-Novel accelerating techniques
E. Jensen is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is much less advanced than IA1
The total cost of related LOIs is 85 M. It has to be reduced dramatically. The leitmotif of the IA is strenghtening CTF3.
But strengthening "our" new RAL muon facility could be part of it too. A MICE JRA is being prepared by K. Kyberd and A. Blondel.
A JRA on FFAG’s appears negotiable, if downsized. Francois Meot (IN2P3/CEA) has accepted the task, in collaboration with R. Edgecock,
S. Machida and other experts of pushing this within the team preparing this IA proposal.
Discussion at CARE06 should prove very instrumental.
No discussion on any Networking Activity (NA) or Transnational Access has yet taken place in this IA.
IA3 Superconducting RF (SCRF) accelerators R&D:
O. Napoly is coordinating the preparation of this proposal. This is also less advanced than IA1.
The total cost of related LOIs is 31 M, with more big ones still coming. One is a JRA for a big RF testing facility.
A JRA on 200 Mhz muon acceleration cavities could be accommodated in this. R&D on p acceleration cavity may instead go to WG1, will see

and does have scientific synergy with the Betabeam
can use the same detector
combination has some truely unique features:
1) oscillation signal is νe→νμ in the first,
νμ→νe. in the second,
one calibrates the signal (and background) of the other !
2) T-reversal and CPT asymmetries can be measured
likely to be integrated in both strategies

V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities
Esample of comparison of physics reach: θ13 and CP violating phase
Figure 7 : 99%CL d sensitivity of the beta-beam, of
the SPL-SuperBeam, and of their combination, see
text. Dotted line is the combined Superbeam+betabeam sensitivity computed for sign(Dm2)=-1.
Sensitivities are compared with a 50 GeV Neutrino
Factory
producing
2×1020m
decays/straight
section/year, and two 40 kton detectors at 3000 and
7000 km
Comparable merits :
NuFact somewhat better and more versatile for ν oscillations
Megaton offers sinergy with N decay and more !!!
NB conclusions highly preliminary
based on still not well agreed yardsticks
must now be re-scrutinized much more in depth (ISS)
CARE06, 17 Nov 2006
V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities
A general remark
Betabeam + Megaton
and
NuFact + LMD
are complementary !!!!!!!!!!!
each has merits unaccesible to the other
(matter effects, CP, T , CPT violation, p decay, astroph. & cosmology .. )
!
by means of truely international collaboration
we could and should aim at having both facilities
!
we must push both very actively
catch opportunities wherever they emerge
seriously aim at building one in Europe in the “construction window”
CARE06, 17 Nov 2006
V. Palladino Report on BENE Activities
Further caveat
Intermediate solutions also emerging !
Higher energy and higher rate betabeams
heading to detectors at intermediate distances
thou technically more difficult
( beta acceleration in new higher energy SPS
or LHC !)
do deserve very careful attention

(US, Japan, CERN&RAL)
holds the key to any superbeam !!!
tests the single shot behavior at MMW driver
of target and collection (solenoid, horn?)
can we master the MMW?
should make that more known
better supported and manned
should evolve that into a MMW target and collector Test Area?

One crucial task of BENE in the ISS year
assemble a real EDS (Eu DesignStudy) collaboration !!!!!
that will sign
and provide the manpower & largest part of the funds,
matching funds, for
a FP7 bid able to have
the blessing of ECFA and
good odds of approval in Brussels.
find the synthesis of so far not obviously converging interests
CERN, INFN, CCLRC, IN2P3, CEA, PPARC, CSIC, Germany?,
Belgium, NIKHEF, everybody
CERN positive attitude towards the ISS and BENE’s initiative
willingness to assemble a small ISS task force
will no doubt greatly help
a few fractions of FTE can make an impact
