摘要：The International Scoping Study (ISS) and its successor, the International Design Study (IDSNF),
have identified a preferred scenario for the accelerator complex of a Neutrino Factory based
on a 50 Hz, 4MW driver generating pulses of 3 proton bunches at an energy in the range 5–
10 GeV. A model matching these requirements was produced during the ISS, but, this apart, work
on developing existing facilities around the world will fail to meet the IDS-NF parameters without
substantial modifications. There are however considerable synergies between Neutrino Factory
(NF) drivers and the proton accelerators used for spallation neutron sources, and the NF study
can benefit from the associated R&D. This paper outlines the main areas of research in high
intensity proton accelerators, as well as addressing the remaining issue peculiar only to NF - that
of nanosecond bunch compression. The merit of pursuing a green-field NF design rather than
concentrating on adapting the IDS-NF scenario to use current proton driver plans, at for example
Fermilab or CERN, remains to be assessed.
