	Funding: US DOE under contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 We present a design concept for a Nu-source from a STORage ring for Muons - NuSTORM. In this initial design a high-intensity proton beam produces ~5 GeV pions that provide muons that are captured using “stochastic injection” within a ~3.6 GeV racetrack storage ring. In “stochastic injection”, the ~53 GeV pion beam is transported from the target into the storage ring, dispersion-matched into a long straight section. (Circulating and injection orbits are separated by momentum.) Decays within that straight section provide muons that are within the ~2 GeV/c ring momentum acceptance and are stored for the muon lifetime of ~1000 turns. Muon (and pion) decays in the long straight sections provide neutrino beams that can be used for precision measurements of neutrino interactions, and neutrino oscillations or disappearance at L/E=~1 m/MeV. The facility is described and variations are discussed.

We present a design concept for a Nu-source from a STORage ring for Muons - NuSTORM. In this initial design a high-intensity proton beam produces ~5 GeV pions that provide muons that are captured using “stochastic injection” within a ~3.6 GeV racetrack storage ring. In “stochastic injection”, the ~53 GeV pion beam is transported from the target into the storage ring, dispersion-matched into a long straight section. (Circulating and injection orbits are separated by momentum.) Decays within that straight section provide muons that are within the ~2 GeV/c ring momentum acceptance and are stored for the muon lifetime of ~1000 turns. Muon (and pion) decays in the long straight sections provide neutrino beams that can be used for precision measurements of neutrino interactions, and neutrino oscillations or disappearance at L/E=~1 m/MeV. The facility is described and variations are discussed.
