AB - The Neutrinos from Stored Muons (nuSTORM) facility will provide νe/ν¯µ (ν¯e/νµ ) beams fromthe decay of low energy muons confined within a storage ring. The instrumentation of the ring,combined with the excellent knowledge of muon decay, will make it possible to determine theneutrino flux at the %-level or better. The neutrino and anti-neutrino event rates are such thatthe nuSTORM facility will allow measurements of the νe(ν¯e)N and νµ (ν¯µ )N cross sections tobe made with the precision required to enhance the sensitivity of the next generation of longbaselineneutrino-oscillation experiments thereby enhancing their discovery potential. By deliveringprecise cross-section measurements with a pure weak probe nuSTORM has the potential tomake measurements important to further the understanding of the physics of nuclei. The preciseknowledge of the initial neutrino flux also makes it possible to deliver uniquely sensitive lightsterile-neutrino searches. The concept for the nuSTORM facility will be presented together withan evaluation of its performance. The status of the planned consideration of nuSTORM at CERNin the context of the Physics Beyond Colliders Study Group will be summarised.
