Priority:

Status:

Approved for completion
in 2006

Study of Neutrino Oscillations and Determination
of Oscillation Parameters

Leader:	Yu.A. Gornushkin
Deputies:	S.A. Bunyatov G.A. Chelkov

Scientific Programme:
- Long base line neutrino oscillations search and study of neutrino oscillation parameters with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam (CERN-Gran Sasso) - project OPERA
- Study of secondary hadrons emission in p and

interactions with nuclear targets for optimization of the design of the future intense neutrino source ("neutrino factory") and for improvement of calculation of atmospheric neutrino flux - project HARP.
- Analysis of the data of previous neutrino experiments.

Expected main results in 2006:

Participation in Target Tracker detector assembly and installation. Commissioning of the TT detector.
Accomplishment of the prototype of the scanning station for OPERA nuclear emulsion search.
Participation in the software development for the TT data taking and data analysis.
Beginning of taking data with neutrinos from CNGS beam.
Measurement of the cross-section of hadron production at proton momentum of 8.9 GeV/ c on the Be target for the analysis of the MiniBoone experiment (Fermilab, USA).
Measurement of the forward and large-angle ^± spectra from 3 GeV/c protons on Ta target for the design of the proton driver of the Neutrino Factory project.
Measurement of the spectrum of ^± at proton momentum 1.5 GeV/ con the water target for possible explanation of the LSND effect.
Participation in the international scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and superbeam facility.
