The beam dump experiment at Fermilab reports 203 neutrino events, of which 4 events survive tau cuts in the Long decay search. 1 event at Nu2000 was short decay analysis. Their position is that OD events are useful for checking the consistency with FC events, but they are less well understood and the systematic error, due to OD timing cut, may be large, when they start discussing oscillations quantitatively. A table there compares the physics goals of present and future experiments.
Input is welcome.
Some physicists complained about this attempt at humor, but I am sympathetic to such attempts. The parabolic horns can be moved to focus differing energies, but other hardware such as monitoring need specifications which depend on beam energy. The rate of analyzed atmo nus is about one per day. The 2nd International Workshop on Nu Beams will be held at Fermilab from 6-9 September 2000. The workshop is aimed at conventional beams.
