Neutrino scattering physics and experiments at super beams and neutrino factories
A careful study of neutrino scattering physics is an essential part of the program to answer many open questions being addressed by several different physics communities. A deeper understanding of nuclear effects induced by neutrinos and considerably more accurate measurements of neutrino exclusive cross sections is crucial for minimizing systematics of neutrino oscillation experiments. In addition, the knowledge gained by neutrino scattering experiments is important to the Nuclear Physics and Astro-Particle physics communities as well. A review of where we expect to be in the study of neutrino scattering physics at the start of a Super Neutrino Beam Facility as well as the types of beams and detectors needed at such a facility are discussed.
