International Scoping Study Pre-Meeting

About the ISS

The International Scoping Study is a year-long study of the physics motivation, and accelerator/detector challenges of future neutrino factory and superbeam facility. It is sponsored by ECFA (European Committee on Future Accelerators) and BENE (Beams for European Neutrino Experiments), but involves physicists from around the world.

The conclusions of the study will be finalized at the August Pre-Meeting, presented and discussed at the NuFact Workshop, and a written report will be produced in Fall 2006.

The mandate and organization of the study, minutes of previous meetings, and contact information are available on the ISS homepage at Imperial College, London.

Program

Details of the International Scoping Study Pre-Meeting program will be posted when made available by the ISS convenors.

Meetings will be held at the Beckman Center (NuFact Meeting Site) on Monday, August 21 and Tuesday, August 22. Rooms are reserved for plenary and working-group sessions on both days. Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided on-site. Space will be available for smaller, informal meetings at the hotel or on-campus (not at the Beckman Center) on Wednesday, August 23.
