                ANNOUNCEMENT of the NuFact02 SUMMER SCHOOL 
 
               1st International School on the Neutrino Factory

                        June 24th to June 30, 2002

                      The Cosener's House, Abingdon, England   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  A Summer School is being organised to introduce researchers and
  students to both the particle and accelerator physics aspects of 
  a Neutrino Factory. This will take place in the UK from Monday 24th to 
  Saturday June 29th, 2002, at The Cosener's House, in Abingdon, not far 
  from Oxford and the Rutherford Appleton Lab. This School, the first of 
  its kind, is organized in conjunction with the 4th International 
  Neutrino Factory Workshop, NuFact02, which will take place at Imperial 
  College in London the following week, 1st to 6th July. 

  The School will be an excellent introduction to the NuFact02 Workshop 
  and we expect that a large fraction of the attendees, both students and 
  lecturers, will profit from the opportunity to attend the Workshop. 

  The programme of the School is being formalised. The following topics 
  will be covered:

  1)  Physics of massive neutrinos
  2)  Current views of leptogenesis and baryogenesis 
  3)  The impact of a Neutrino Factory on neutrino physics
  4)  Neutrino Astrophysics 

  5)  Detectors of neutrino oscillations: concepts and R&D requirements  
  6)  Other physics at a Neutrino Factory complex

  7)  The basic accelerator physics of a Neutrino Factory 
  8)  The technical challenges of a Neutrino Factory
  9)  A muon ionization cooling demonstration experiment  
  10) Fixed field alternating gradient acceleration  

  We are assembling a proper mix of short lecture series and of 
  monographic seminars. The following speakers have confirmed their 
  participation: 

   T. Wilson (CERN)
   R. Palmer (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
   R. Bennett (RAL)
   S. Geer (Fermilab)
   Y. Kuno (Osaka)
   D. Harris (Fermilab)
   K. McFarland (Rochester)
   B. Bingham (RAL) 

  The preparation of a enthusiastic, multi-national group of young 
  scientists, capable of embracing the necessary multiple skills, will be 
  essential in ensuring the success of the long term effort towards a 
  Neutrino Factory. In addition, we feel that the Neutrino Factory 
  initiative can really only be successful with a collaborative effort of 
  the neutrino community. We would be delighted to receive your 
  suggestions on how to optimize the nature, format and content of the 
  School at all stages of its organization.
 
  The main area where you can help tremendously, of course, is by MAKING 
  YOUNG COLLEAGUES IN YOUR GROUP AWARE OF THE NuFact02 SCHOOL AND BY 
  HELPING THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN IT. Participation in the NuFact Workshop 
  the following week as well would be ideal. We hope to see you there 
  also.
   
                               Best regards,

                        Peter Dornan & Vittorio Palladino
                            Directors of the School
