Abstract

A large volume 1 300 ton imaging water Cherenkov detector at the pulsed beam dump neutrino source ISIS could detect more than 1 000 νρ scatterings and more than 3 000 neutrino-oxygen-16 reactions per year. Designed as a high statistics low energy neutrino experiment the physics motivation of a kton water Cherenkov detector at ISIS is the high sensitivity search for ν ρ → ν τ -oscillations in the disappearance mode in the ν-mass range of a few eV as well as the precision measurement of the interference strength of charged and neutral currents in ν ρρ scattering. We present first results of detailed Monte Carlo simulations of neutrino-electron scattering and neutrino-oxygen reactions and discuss the physics potential of neutrino electron scattering at ISIS.
