How well do we need to know the beam properties at a neutrino factory?
In principle, a neutrino factory can produce a beam with a well known {nu}{sub e} and {nu}{sub {mu}} flux. In practice, the uncertainties on the muon beam properties will introduce uncertainties into the calculated neutrino fluxes. The authors explore the relationship between the beam systematics and the systematic uncertainties on predicted event rates at a far site. The desired precision with which they must know the beam momentum, direction, divergence, momentum spread, and polarization are discussed.
