Talk:Accelerator neutrino

More inline references needed

The article needs more inline references supporting the content. The steps for the beam production needs referencing. The 2019 Review of Particle Physics is a very large document. The page number should be included each time it is used as a source. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:31, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you StarryGrandma for help! Inline references to the Muon neutrino beam production steps added (moved from references and further readings). Section and page number (within this section) for the 2019 Review of Particle Physics added. Batmann (talk) 15:56, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Its nice to have an article on this topic. StarryGrandma (talk) 19:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Merger Discussion

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge, on the grounds of uncontested objection and no support; distinct topics. Klbrain (talk) 22:48, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Request received to merge articles: Monitored neutrino beam into Accelerator_neutrino; dated: 12/2021. Proposer's Rationale: These two articles are essentially on the same topic. The Accelerator Neutrino article is better written, and is a more logical title. PianoDan (talk) 19:07, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Since the monitored neutrino beam is quite a specific technique, it probably deserves a dedicated entry in wikipedia. On the other hand, I think it is a good idea to write a short paragraph in "accelerator neutrino" describing the concept in a nutshell and linking to this page as the main page.

How exactly are the two concepts different? All accelerator-produced neutrino beams are produced for the express purpose of being monitored. I still think a merger is appropriate, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. PianoDan (talk) 14:03, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, apologies for the late reply. "Monitored" is a shortand for "beams where charged leptons at source are counted one by one", which is not what is done in conventional accelerator neutrino beams. Similarly, "tagged" is used in Pontecorvo's sense (time correlation between the charged lepton in the decay tunnel and the interacted neutrino in the detector). This is why we usually consider monitored and tagged neutrino beams as "non-conventional" beams (as, for instance, the Neutrino Factory or the Beta beam, which are based on yet another concept) Francesco777 (talk) 14:04, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
