NaNu: Proposal for a Neutrino Experiment at the SPS Collider located at the North Area of CERN

TL;DR

NaNu is a proposed low-cost neutrino experiment at CERN's North Area aiming to study tau neutrinos, complementing future experiments and providing new insights into neutrino properties.

Contribution

It introduces a new experimental setup at CERN's North Area designed to study tau neutrinos, compatible with upcoming experiments, and aims to address key questions in neutrino physics.

Findings

Proposal for a new neutrino experiment at CERN.

Potential to observe tau anti-neutrinos and constrain their properties.

Complementary to future CERN experiments.

Abstract

Several experiments have been proposed in the recent years to study the nature of tau neutrinos, in particular aiming for a first observation of tau anti-neutrinos, more stringent upper limit on its anomalous magnetic moment as well as new constrains on the strange-quark content of the nucleon. We propose here a new low-cost neutrino experiment at the CERN North area, named NaNu (North Area NeUtrino), compatible with the realization of the future SHADOWS and HIKE experiments at the same experimental area.
