摘要：We study the optimization of a neutrino factory with respect to non-standard neutral current neutrino
interactions, and compare the results to those obtained for the standard optimization. We
discuss the muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels as degrees of freedom. Our conclusions
are based on both analytical calculations and on a full numerical simulation of the neutrino
factory setup proposed by the international design study (IDS-NF).We consider all possible nonstandard
parameters, and include their complex phases. We identify the impact of the different
parameters on the golden, silver, and disappearance channels. We come to the conclusion that,
even in the presence of non-standard interactions, the performance of the neutrino factory hardly
profits from a silver channel detector, unless the muon energy is significantly increased compared
to the IDS-NF setup. Apart from the dispensable silver channel detector, we demonstrate that
the IDS-NF setup is close to optimal even if non-standard interactions are considered. We find
that one very long baseline is a key component in the search for non-standard interactions, in
particular for em
et and em
tt . This presentation is based on the work Ref.[1].
