Neutrino oscillation physics with a neutrino factory
Data from atmospheric and solar neutrinos indicate that there are at least
three neutrino types involved in oscillation phenomena. Even if the
corresponding neutrino mass scales are very different, the inevitable reference
to mixing between more than two neutrino types has profound consequences on the
planning of the accelerator experiments suggested by these results. We discuss
the measurement of mixing angles and CP phases in the context of the neutrino
beam emanating from a {\it neutrino factory}: the straight sections of a muon
storage ring. We emphasize the importance of charge identification. The
appearance of wrong sign muons in a long baseline experiment may provide a
powerful test of neutrino oscillations in the mass-difference range indicated
by atmospheric-neutrino observations.Comment: Superkamiokande-allowed domains corrected in figure
