I review oscillation solutions to the neutrino anomalies and discuss how to account for the required pattern of neutrino masses and mixings from first principles. Unification and low-energy bottom-up approaches are discussed, the latter open up the possibility of testing neutrino mixing at high energy colliders, such as the LHC. Large νe mixing is consistent with Supernova (SN) astrophysics and may serve to probe galactic SN parameters at Cherenkov detectors. I discuss the robustness of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation hypothesis against the presence of Flavor Changing (FC) Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSI), generally expected in models of neutrino mass. Atmospheric data strongly constrain FC-NSI in the νµ -ντ channel, while solar data can be explained by FC-NSI in the νe -ντ channel, or, alternatively, by spin flavor precession. I illustrate how a neutrino factory offers a unique way to probe for FC-NSI and argue that a near-site detector is necessary in order to probe for leptonic mixing and CP violation.

The MuCool R&D program is described. The aim of MuCool is to develop all key pieces of hardware required for ionization cooling of a muon beam. This effort will lead to a more detailed understanding of the construction and operating costs of such hardware, as well as to optimized designs that can be used to build a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. This work is being undertaken by a broad collaboration including physicists and engineers from many national laboratories and universities in the U.S. and abroad. The intended schedule of work will lead to ionization cooling being well enough established that a construction decision for a Neutrino Factory could be taken before the end of this decade based on a solid technical foundation.

We consider the potential of a generic neutrino factory (NUFACT) in probing nonstandard neutrino-matter interactions (NSI). We find that the sensitivity to flavourchanging (FC) NSI can be substantially improved with respect to present atmospheric neutrino data, especially at energies higher than approximately 50 GeV, where the effect of the tau mass is small. For example, a 100 GeV NUFACT can probe FC neutrino interactions at the level of few |ε| < few × 10 −4 at 99 % C.L.
