[MAP] nuSTORM Workshop

[Alan D Bross]

Dear Colleague,

We are planning to have a workshop on the nuSTORM experiment (Neutrinos from STORed Muons) September 21st and 22nd  at Fermilab.  NuSTORM is an entry-level muon storage ring intended to produce flavor pure beams of muon neutrinos and electron antineutrinos (or electron neutrinos and muon antineutrinos when mu-minus are stored).  When paired with a magnetized  detector at short baseline (1 to 2 km), nuSTORM is intended to make a definitive measurement on the presence or absence of an LSND/MiniBooNE type sterile neutrino.  Near detectors in the nuSTORM beam could be used to make very clean, high statistics measurements of both electron and muon neutrino cross sections.

The nuSTORM LOI was presented at the recent Fermilab PAC meeting in Aspen and we have been encouraged to proceed to a full proposal (See the PAC response, the letter regarding nuSTORM from Pier Oddone and the LOI at: https://indico.fnal.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=5710) .  Now is the time to begin building a collaboration to pursue this program and we invite you to join us for this introductory workshop to figure out what you can do or to just lean more.

Our goal is to have the full proposal ready for the June 2013 Fermilab PAC meeting and the Snowmass meeting next summer.  An Indico site will be up shortly which will allow you to register.  We will send out an announcement as soon as it is up.

Block Agenda:
September 21: 08:30-17:30 All Plenary - Location CDF Big Room  (We plan to arrange for Dinner at Chez Leon if there is enough interest.) September 22: Morning: Parallel (1. Facility, 2. Detector-Physics)
09:00-12:00 (Curia II & Commitium) , Afternoon: Plenary 13:30-17:00 (Curia II)

Finally, if you would like to present something at the workshop, please email us.

We hope you can join us,
