Study of tau neutrino production at the CERN SPS

At the CERN SPS, the DsTau project has been proposed to study tau-neutrino production aiming at providing important information for future ντ measurements. Precise measurement of the ντ cross section would enable a search for new physics effects in ντ charged current interactions. It also has practical implications for neutrino oscillation experiments. The dominant source of ντ is the sequential decay of Ds mesons produced by proton...
