Phys. Rev. D 61, 053004 (2000) [19 pages]Long baseline neutrino physics with a muon storage ring neutrino sourceReceived 24 June 1999; published 8 February 2000 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 νμ→ντ and/or νμ→νs, determine the νμ→νe content of atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and measure νe→ντ 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. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
