European facilities for accelerator neutrino physics: Perspectives for the decade to come

  • Published:
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento Aims and scope

Summary

Very soon a new generation of reactor and accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments —Double Chooz, Daya Bay, Reno and T2K— will seek for oscillation signals generated by the mixing parameter θ13. The knowledge of this angle is a fundamental milestone to optimize further experiments aimed at detecting CP violation in the neutrino sector. Leptonic CP violation is a key phenomenon that has profound implications in particle physics and cosmology but it is clearly out of reach for the aforementioned experiments. Since late 90s', a world-wide activity is in progress to design facilities that can access CP violation in neutrino oscillation and perform high-precision measurements of the lepton counterpart of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. In this paper the status of these studies will be summarized, focusing on the options that are best suited to exploit existing European facilities (firstly CERN and the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratories) or technologies where Europe has a world leadership. Similar considerations will be developed in more exotic scenarios —beyond the standard framework of flavor oscillation among three active neutrinos— that might appear plausible in the occurrence of anomalous results from post-MiniBooNE experiments or the CNGS.
