• 09:40 Motivation I: what does neutrino factory gain with cooling (A. Lombardi)
• 10:00 Motivation II: why does neutrino factory need a cooling experiment (D. Kaplan)
• 10:30 coffee break

11:00 report from working groups :
Group a : Simulations
• Results of simulations of emmittance reduction (Hanke, Migliorati...)
• Results of simulations of emittance measurement, requirements on beam purity (P. Janot)

• 14:00

Group a : Simulations(ctd)
