Exploring the Physics Opportunities of nuSTORM


The Neutrinos from Stored Muons (nuSTORM) facility will provide a neutrino beam from the decays of muons confined in a storage ring with tunable momentum (1-6 GeV/c). The well-known flavour composition and energy spectrum of the beam will allow ultimate precision electron- and muon-neutrino scattering measurements to be made over the kinematic range of interest to future long-baseline experiments. They will also enable studies of neutrino oscillations and searches for beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) phenomena with a sensitivity that goes significantly beyond that of the short-baseline experiments currently in construction at FNAL. The development of this facility will strongly benefit the particle physics, nuclear physics and accelerator physics communities: the precise determination of neutrino-nucleus cross-sections will have a direct impact on the sensitivity of DUNE and Hyper-K to CP violation and will contribute to the development of the description of the nuclear dynamics; the nuSTORM target complex and storage ring will form an essential testbed for muon-collider R&D.
