摘要:Neutrino oscillation experiments from different sources have demonstrated non-vanishing neutrino
masses and avour mixings. The next experiments have to address the determination of
the connecting mixing U(e3) and the existence of the CP violating phase. Whereas U(e3) measures
the strength of the oscillation probability in appearance experiments, the CP phase acts as
a phase-shift in the interference pattern. Here we propose to separate these two parameters by
energy dependence, using the novel idea of a monochromatic neutrino beam facility based on the
acceleration of ions that decay fast through electron capture. Fine tuning of the boosted neutrino
energy allows precision measurements able to open a window for the discovery of CP violation,
even for a mixing as small as 1 degree.
