About


The Neutrinos from STORed Muons (nuSTORM) facility will provide a neutrino beam from the decays of muons confined in a storage ring with tunable momentum (1-6 GeV/c). The development of this facility will strongly benefit the particle physics and nuclear physics communities due to its well-understood flavour composition and energy spectrum of the beam.

The muon collider provides an opportunity to reach energy-frontier collisions on a timescale similar to lower energy electron-positron colliders. CERN formed the international Muon Collider Collaboration in 2020, supported further by Horizon Europe in 2023 and with significant interesting arising in the US’s Snowmass21 process. The target complex and storage ring of nuSTORM will form an essential testbed for muon-collider R&D.

This workshop will first discuss neutrino detection and physics performance for the nuSTORM facility, and then the latest status of muon beam R&D and applications. Concepts surrounding muon beam production, control and rapid acceleration for a muon collider will be explored. The muon collider instrumentation needs and the R&D required to achieve them will be discussed. The status and potential upgrade path of the UK’s ISIS muon source will also be discussed.

The workshop will take place on November 23rd - 24th at the Institute of Physics (IOP) building at 37 Caledonian Rd, London N1 9BU. Although the event is free, registration is required due to space limitations for participation. Limited travel funding will be available for students and early career researchers. Please contact the committee for more information.
