nuSTORM - Neutrinos from STORed Muons: Proposal to the Fermilab PAC

Understand

The nuSTORM facility has been designed to deliver beams of electron neutrinos and muon neutrinos (and their anti-particles) from the decay of a stored muon beam with a central momentum of 3.8 GeV/c and a momentum acceptance of 10%.

• The facility is unique in that it will: 1.
• Allow searches for sterile neutrinos of exquisite sensitivity to be carried out; 2.
• Serve future long- and short-baseline neutrino-oscillation programs by providing definitive measurements of electron neutrino and muon neutrino scattering cross sections off nuclei with percent-level precision; and 3.
