Neutrino oscillation studies with laser-driven beam dump facilities
A new mechanism is suggested for efficient proton acceleration in the GeV
energy range; applications to non-conventional high intensity proton drivers
and, hence, to low-energy (10-200 MeV) neutrino sources are discussed. In
particular we investigate possible uses to explore subdominant oscillations at the atmospheric scale and their CP conjugate.
We emphasize the opportunity to develop these facilities in conjunction with
projects for inertial confined nuclear fusion and neutron spallation sources.Comment: 30 pages, 9 figures, minor changes, version to appear in
