What about a beta-beam facility for low-energy neutrinos?

A novel method to produce neutrino beams has recently been proposed: the beta beams. This method consists in using the,8 decay of boosted radioactive nuclei to obtain an intense, collimated and pure neutrino beam. Here we propose to exploit the beta-beam concept to produce neutrino beams of low energy. We discuss the applications of such a facility as well as its importance for different domains of physics. We focus, in particular, on neutrino-nucleus interaction studies of interest for various open issues in astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. We suggest possible sites for a low-energy beta-beam facility.
