Abstract
An upgrade to the BNL alternate gradient synchrotron (AGS) could produce a very intense proton source at a relatively low cost. Such a proton beam could be used to generate a conventional neutrino beam with a significant flux at large distances from the laboratory. This provides the possibility of a very long baseline neutrino experiment at the Homestake mine. The construction of this facility would allow a programme of experiments to study many of the aspects of neutrino oscillations including CP violation. This study examines a 1 MW proton source at BNL and a 1 megaton detector positioned at the Homestake mine as the ultimate goal of a staged programme to study neutrino oscillations.
