Neutrino Factory Physics Study: Two-Day Meeting
The Fermilab Directorate has requested a 6 month
study to assess the physics capabilities of neutrino
factories as a function of their energies, intensities,
polarization, etc. The study began in October 1999 and
is due to write a report by 31 March 2000. We will have
a two-day meeting at Fermilab in February to bring together
and discuss the contributions to the 6 months physics study
before writing our report. People from both within the study
and interested outside people are welcome. There will be
no registration fees. The meeting will be
Thursday 17th - Friday 18th February in 1 West.
