Neutrino Factory R&D Efforts

Abstract

Stored-muon-beam neutrino factories have been recognized as the best option to measure precisely the elements of the MNSP matrix and sensitively test the consistency of the three-neutrino mixing picture. Now that all three mixing angles have been shown to be nonzero, the motivation for neutrino factory construction is strong. A small number of feasibility issues remain open and are the subject of ongoing R&D. Progress on these R&D efforts is described.
