Neutrino-nucleus interactions: open questions and future projects

Abstract

We discuss various issues concerning the interactions of nuclei with neutrinos of low impinging energies (i.e. having several tens of MeV to a few hundred MeV) of interest for particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics. We focus, in particular, on open questions as well as possible strategies to obtain more experimental information. The option of a low-energy beta-beam facility is extensively discussed. We also mention its potential concerning the neutrino magnetic moment.
