Abstract
A new mechanism is suggested for efficient proton acceleration in the GeV energy range; applications to non-conventional high intensity proton drivers and, hence, to low-energy (10-200 MeV) neutrino sources are discussed. In particular, we investigate possible uses of these sources to explore subdominant (nu) over bar (mu)->(nu) over bar (e) oscillations at the atmospheric scale and their CP conjugate. We emphasize the opportunity to develop these facilities in conjunction with projects for inertial confined nuclear fusion and neutron spallation sources. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
