Intense Beams Group

Dr. David Neuffer of Fermilab was one of the pioneers of ionising cooling as a technology that could be used to accelerate muons and invented the muon capture scheme that is now the baseline for both the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider design. Together with Chris Rogers, he is coordinator for the muon front end working group, with the aim of developing a conceptual design report and costing for the muon front end.

Dr. Gersende Prior  is based at CERN where she works on the Neutrino Factory as part of the EUROν conceptual design study for a future Neutrino Facility in Europe. She often visits our group to collaborate on the Muon Front End.

Dr. Toru Ogitsu works at KEK where he is the Cryogenics Section leader. He has visited our group in June 2009 giving a seminar on the "Superconducting Magnet System for the J-PARC Neutrino Beam Line".
