A novel concept for a neutrino factory: the beta-beam, Phys. Let. B, 532 (2002) 166-172. AIM: production of a pure beam of electron neutrinos (or antineutrinos) through the beta-decay of radioactive ions circulating in a high-energy storage ring. Baseline scenario. Based on known technology and machines. Makes maximum use of the existing CERN infrastructure. Annual (107 s) rate of 2.9?1018 antineutrinos or 1.1?1018 neutrinos. 9.7?1013 6He2+ or 7.4?1013 18Ne10+ ions stored at ?=100. EURISOL Beta-beam RCS Operating at 10 Hz, this machine is a relatively conventional RCS (cf., ISIS). It has been designed with a modest B-field swing (0.2 – 1.1 T), which means a reasonable maximum ramp rate ( 30 T/s) and, in turn, reasonable rf requirements (100 kV). Eddy current effects require the vacuum chamber to be thin, but it does not need to be ceramic. The RCS delivers both species of beam at a magnetic rigidity of 14.5 Tm. PS The PS operates on its highest harmonic (h=21) and accumulates 20 bunches one by one from the RCS. SPS There is no accumulation in the SPS, which is less than 10% filled, but the machine was designed for fixed-target physics and its rf is not ideally suited. The space charge bottleneck at SPS injection is addressed by adding a 1 MV, 40 MHz rf system to the existing 8 MV, 200 MHz one. This allows much longer bunches to be transferred from the PS. Then, near transition when the bunches are short enough, the standard system takes over for the bulk of the acceleration. The SPS delivers beams at γ=100, which corresponds to a magnetic rigidity of 935 Tm for helium ions and to 559 Tm for neon. The ad
