[MAP] nuSTORM Workshop

[Alan D Bross]

Dear Colleague,

With the workshop fast approaching, I just wanted to describe to those attending remotely how that will be done.  We decided to use WebEx: https://fnal.webex.com/mw0306ld/mywebex/default.do?siteurl=fnal in lieu of EVO.  Detailed instructions with toll-free dial in will be provided on the agenda page.  A note regarding browsers:  Mozilla is not playing well with WebEx, so if you use a PC, please use Internet Explorer, and if you are using a MAC, Safari.  Send me an email if you have questions.

Also, we still have some slots for the dinner.  Register if you would like to attend.

Regards,

Alan

Dear Colleague,

We are planning to have a workshop on the nuSTORM experiment (Neutrinos from STORed Muons) September 21st and 22nd  at Fermilab.  The workshop Indico page
is: https://indico.fnal.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=5824  (remember to click on Detailed view to see all the current talks for Saturday).  If you are considering attending, please register as soon as you can so that we can plan for the coffee breaks and the dinner Friday night.  There is no registration fee and dinner is cash at Chez Leon.  

We will also provide EVO connections for those who cannot attend.  If you plan to attend via EVO,  there is a field on the registration page to indicate this, so please register even in this case.  There is also a place to request a talk (either in person or via EVO) on the registration link.

For those of you unfamiliar with nuSTORM, it 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.
We hope you can join us,
