Neutrinos from Accelerators
NuFact2021
6-11 Sep 2021
Cagliari, Italy
NuFACT 2021 is the twenty-second in the series of yearly international workshops which started in 1999 and which had previously been called the International Workshop on Neutrino Factories. The change of name to International Workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators signals that the workshop program has, over the years, come to include all current and future accelerator and reactor-based neutrino projects, including muon projects.
The main goal of the workshop is to review the progress of current and future facilities able to improve on measurements of the properties of neutral and charged lepton flavor violation, as well as searches for new phenomena. The workshop is both interdisciplinary and inter-regional in that experimenters, theorists and accelerator physicists from Asia, the Americas and Europe share expertise with the goal of reviewing currently operating experiments and designing the next generation of facilities.
The NuFACT 2021 workshop is divided into six Working Groups covering the following topics:
- Neutrino Oscillation Physics (Working Group 1),
- Neutrino Scattering Physics (Working Group 2),
- Accelerator Physics (Working Group 3),
- Muon Physics (Working Group 4),
- Neutrinos Beyond PMNS (Working Group 5),
- Detectors (Working Group 6)
For the first time, NUFACT2021 hosted a special session on Diversity, Education and Outreach. Three satellite workshops have taken place: NuStorm/ENUBET, ESSnuSB, and the diversity, outreach & education session. NUFACT2021 also featured an online full-interactive poster session.
NuFact2019
August 26 - August 31, 2019
Daegu, Korea
NuFACT 2019 is the 21st in the series of yearly international workshops which started in 1999 and which had previously been called the International Workshop on Neutrino Factories. The change of name to International Workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators is related to the fact that the workshop program has, over the years, come to include all current and future accelerator and also reactor based neutrino projects, including also muon projects, not only the Neutrino Factory project.
The main goal of the workshop is to review the progress of current and future facilities able to improve on measurements of the properties of neutral and charged lepton flavor violation, as well as searches for new phenomena beyond the capabilities of presently planned experiments. The workshop is both interdisciplinary and interregional in that experimenters, theorists, and accelerator physicists from all over the world share expertise with the common goal of reviewing the results of currently operating experiments and designing the next generation of experiments.
The NuFACT 2019 workshop is divided into five Working Groups covering the following topics:
- Working Group 1 : Neutrino Oscillation Physics
- Working Group 2 : Neutrino Scattering Physics
- Working Group 3 : Accelerator Physics
- Working Group 4 : Muon Physics
- Working Group 5 : Neutrinos Beyond PMNS
NuFACT2018

NuFact2017
25-30 September 2017
Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
NuFact 2017 is the nineteenth in a series that started in 1999 as an important yearly workshop with emphasis on future neutrino projects. The main goals of the conference are to review the progress on studies of future facilities able to improve on measurements of the properties of neutrinos and charged lepton flavor violation as well as new phenomena searches beyond the capabilities of presently planned experiments. Since such progress in the neutrino sector could require innovation in neutrino beams, the role of a neutrino factory within future HEP initiatives will be addressed.
NUFACT2014
25 -30 August, 2014
University of Glasgow, United Kingdom
These proceedings present the written contributions from participants of the 16th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories and Future Neutrino Beam Facilities (NUFACT 2014) that was held at the University of Glasgow (Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom) from 25-30 August 2014. This edition of the NUFACT annual meetings, which started in 1999, consisted of 24 plenary and 92 parallel talks and various poster sessions, with the participation of 124 delegates. Furthermore, the International Neutrino Summer School 2014 was held from 10-22 August 2014 at St Andrews, Scotland, in the two weeks before NUFACT 2014. It was intended for young scientists with an interest in neutrino physics in such a way that they would be able to participate and contribute to the NUFACT workshop as well.
The objectives of the NUFACT workshops are to review progress on different studies for future accelerator-based neutrino oscillation facilities, with the goal to discover the mass hierarchy of neutrinos, CP violation in the leptonic sector, charged lepton flavour violation, and possible new phenomena. The workshops are interdisciplinary in that experimenters, theorists and accelerator physicists share their expertise to further developments in accelerator-based neutrino facilities. The organisation of the workshop is based around four working groups: Neutrino Oscillation Physics, Neutrino Scattering Physics, Accelerator Physics and Muon Physics. Each workshop is tailored to ensure continuity and growth of knowledge from the previous workshop, by posing a series of questions that are updated on a yearly basis.
These proceedings reflect a summary of the topics covered during NUFACT 2014 and reflect not only the state-of-the-art in current experimental endeavours in neutrino physics, but also the current thinking towards developing the next generation of accelerator-based neutrino and muon facilities, with the goal to determine solutions to some of the most fundamental questions in particle physics.
It is a pleasure to thank the University of Glasgow and the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) for sponsoring the workshop and the Glasgow City Council for organising a Civic Reception for the delegates. The lively and stimulating atmosphere was aided by the other social events during the workshop, a whisky tasting session delivered with great enthusiasm and knowledge by Dr David Wishart, an excursion to Stirling Castle and a workshop banquet at the Bute Hall of the University of Glasgow, in which Professor John Butt, the university’s Gardiner Professor of Music, played the magnificent Lewis Organ in the Bute Hall.
The editors wish to thank the Scientific Program Committee and the Working Group conveners for their engagement in making NUFACT 2014 a success, and all participants for the high quality of their contributions. We now look forward to the next instalment of the NUFACT conferences to be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2015. We also wish to thank Ms Valerie Flood, especially, for providing all the administrative support of the workshop.

Valencia, Spain
Nufact08 is the tenth edition of a series of workshops started in 1999, whose main goal is to understand the different options for a future neutrino oscillation experiment able to attack the problems of mass hierarchy and CP violation in the leptonic sector
