The Neutrino Factory
•Goal: To fire a focussed beam of neutrinos through the interior of the Earth
–What’s the point?
•Constrains post-Standard Model physics
–But why does this involve muons?
•Neutrinos appear only as decay products
•Decaying an intense, high-speed beam of muons produces collimated neutrinos
