摘要
We examine the physics capabilities of known flavor neutrino beams from intense muon sources. We find that long-baseline neutrino experiments based on such beams can provide precise measurements of neutrino oscillation mass and mixing parameters. Furthermore, they can test whether the dominant atmospheric neutrino oscillations are nu(mu) --> nu(tau) and/or nu(mu) --> nu(s), determine the nu(mu) --> nu(e) content of atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and measure nu(e) --> nu(tau) appearance. Depending on the oscillation parameters, they may be able to detect Earth matter and CP violation effects and to determine the ordering of some of the mass eigenstates.
