TLDR
In this paper, the status of the effort to realize a first neutrino factory and the progress made in understanding the problems associated with the collection and cooling of muons towards that end are described.Abstract:
We describe the status of our effort to realize a first neutrino factory and the progress made in understanding the problems associated with the collection and cooling of muons towards that end. We summarize the physics that can be done with neutrino factories as well as with intense cold beams of muons. The physics potential of muon colliders is reviewed, both as Higgs factories and compact high-energy lepton colliders. The status and time scale of our research and development effort is reviewed as well as the latest designs in cooling channels including the promise of ring coolers in achieving longitudinal and transverse cooling simultaneously. We detail the efforts being made to mount an international cooling experiment to demonstrate the ionization cooling of muons.read more

Unitarity of the Leptonic Mixing Matrix
TL;DR: In this paper, the elements of the leptonic mixing matrix were determined without assuming unitarity, combining data from neutrino oscillation experiments and weak decays, and a formalism for studying neutrinos oscillations in vacuum and matter was developed.
