nuSCOPE has submitted an input document to the 2026 European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (see its accompanying document, arXiv2503.21589). As part of this document, nuSCOPE reported a first assessment of the physics reach of a cross-section experiment using a monitored and tagged beamline, and used a simplistic detector design .
To refine the ESPPU input studies and investigate areas of synergy with other experimental designs, we are hosting a workshop at CERN from 13 to 15 October. The workshop aims to:
- inform the community about aspects related to beam design and instrumentation;
- invite contributions.
- gather suggestions and gauge interest in possible neutrino detector designs;
- discuss the physics goals of the experiment.
nuSCOPE is a collaboration formed as a result of the merging of the ENUBET and NuTag collaborations. The collaboration is investigating the physics potential and feasibility of a short-baseline neutrino beam experiment at CERN, using a monitored and tagged neutrino beam. Thanks to its unprecedented control over the neutrino flux, such a facility is uniquely positioned to perform precise measurements of neutrino-nucleus scattering processes, thus tackling the main source of systematic uncertainty for future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
