Next-Generation Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

Last update: 09/12/2000, J. Wilkes


Introduction

This website resulted from a discussion at the Neutrinos with Mass workshop, at the Aspen Center for Physics in July, 2000 (see list of participants). Its aim is to provide a forum for ideas, calculations, and presentation materials by people interested in neutrino factories and long-baseline experiments, in preparation for the Snowmass meeting in Summer, 2001. Please tell anyone you know who may be interested in the subject about this website!

Table of experiment capabilities

The table below was constructed by participants at Aspen, and is by no means authoritative. Official representatives of experiments mentioned are encouraged to complain and supply corrected figures where appropriate! Send corrections to Jeff Wilkes.

The following assumes dm223 = 3 x 10-3 eV2 and sin22qmt = 1.0.

Table entries represent the capability (yes/no or resolution) for each oscillation property listed.

X=No, =Yes, ?=official reps invited to please tell us!
