PHYSICS MOTIVATIONTwo directions beyond SM, toward Unification

EW symmetry breaking, ★ HIGGS, GUT, SUSY, ED LHC, ILC Clear theoretical guide exists: Top down approach

Flavor Problem ★ Origin of generations, Mass Hierarchy, Flavor Symmetry   No clear theory exists. Only experimental observations: Bottom up approach Neutrino mass: Only “beyond SM evidence”! Cold Dark Matter and Dark Energy exist. Leptonic CP violation: The origin of the matter ? Precision measurement of lepton mixing matrix

and mass hierarchy “Neutrino Factory” and other related facilities

Mission of the theoretical subgroup

Issue a message to global community

•Describe the impact of the neutrino and other related researches towards the understanding of the matter unification, the synergy of particle physics, astro-physics and cosmology. •Draw a roadmap, paint a colorful picture!

High energy neutrinos at NuFact allow observation of e(wrong sign muons with missing energy and P). UNIQUE

Liquid Argon or OPERA-like detector at 700 or 3000 km.

Since the sin dependence has opposite sign with the wrong sign muons, this solves ambiguitiesthat will invariably appear if only wrong sign muons are used.

Wish-List for Study S.Geer ISSWS05

There have been a series of neutrino physics studies in Europe, Japan and the US, aimed at understanding future needs and options. Lots has been done, but there are still some questions to be nailed … for example:

Is a NF needed if sin2213 is large ?

What is the minimum NF energy that will deliver the physics (cost issue)? How do we best test the three-flavor frameworkand how do we quantify the test ? How can we best articulate the physics case for precision measurements of the neutrino parameters if sin213 > O(0.01), & continuing the program if sin2213 < O(0.01) ?
