Detectors and flux instrumentation for future neutrino facilities
2007
This report summarises the conclusions from the
detectorgroup of the International Scoping Study of a future
Neutrino Factoryand Super-Beam
neutrinofacility. The baseline
detectoroptions for each possible
neutrinobeam are defined as follows: 1. A very massive (Megaton) water
Cherenkov detectoris the baseline option for a sub-GeV Beta Beam and Super Beam facility. 2. There are a number of possibilities for either a Beta Beam or Super Beam (SB) medium energy facility between 1-5 GeV. These include a totally active scintillating
detector(TASD), a liquid argon TPC or a water
Cherenkov detector. 3. A 100 kton magnetized iron
neutrino detector(MIND) is the baseline to detect the wrong sign muon final states (golden channel) at a high energy (20-50 GeV)
neutrino factoryfrom muon decay. A 10 kton hybrid
neutrinomagnetic emulsion
cloud chamber
detectorfor wrong sign tau detection (silver channel) is a possible complement to MIND, if one needs to resolve degeneracies that appear in the $\delta$-$\theta_{13}$ parameter space.
