The 14th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories: Super Beams and Beta Beams (NuFact2013) was held at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) from August 19 to 24 in Beijing. More than 150 scientists from 18 countries attended the workshop.

At the workshop, 25 plenary talks were delivered and four parallel sessions on neutrino oscillation physics, neutrino nucleon scattering physics, accelerator neutrino beam techniques and muon physics were arranged. The latest results from the Daya Bay Collaboration were announced at the workshop. The new results are based on four times the data, with twice the precision, of the first Daya Bay results released last year, which established the value of the third and final neutrino “mixing angle.”

Prof. Karol Lang from University of Texas commented in his closing remarks that IHEP could be a new research center for neutrino and accelerators. He expressed his expectations to the Photomultiplier Tube Module (PTM) in R&D at IHEP.        

The NuFact workshops are one of the important yearly neutrino conferences with emphasis on future projects. The main goal is to review the progress, and share the challenges, on the different studies of future neutrino oscillation facilities able to discover and study the mass hierarchy of neutrinos, CP violation in the leptonic sector and possible new phenomena. The workshops are original in that they combine the skills of experimenters, theorists and accelerator physicists.
