This is a proposal for some of the critical R&D needed to bring the muon storage ring/neutrino source to the point where it can be evaluated as a potential physics project for the field. In addition, it may pave the way for a future muon storage ring to explore physics at an energy scale beyond what is foreseen for the coming decade.This is of great interest as it can lead to advances in neutrino physics and possibly eventually to a new method to make a lepton collider. More specifically, this project can have significant impact on the enabling of well characterized, narrow band, variable energy beams of neutrinos for the determination of neutrino mass and mixing parameters and possibly for seeing CP violation in the neutrino sector. Students will be given diverse opportunities to work on unique problems.

这是一项关于一些关键研发的建议，这些研发需要将Muon存储环/中微子源提高到可以作为该领域潜在物理项目进行评估的地步。此外，它可能会为未来的Muon存储环铺平道路，在未来十年内以超出预期的能量尺度探索物理。这是非常有兴趣的，因为它可以导致中微子物理学的进步，并可能最终产生制造轻子对撞机的新方法。更具体地说，该项目可以对中微子特征良好的窄带可变能量束产生重大影响，以确定中微子的质量和混合参数，并可能看到中微子部门的CP破坏。学生将获得不同的机会来解决独特的问题。
