We propose to construct a massive detector to search for neutrino oscillations and other neutrino induced reactions, as a comprehensive test of the electroweak theory of the Standard Model of particle phyiscs, at the National Spallation Neutron Source proposed to be built at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The principal motivation of the experiment is to perform a class of experiments to rigorously test the validity of the standard model of particle physics using neutrinos as a probe. The proposed detector will yield high statistics neutrino-electron scattering for precise neutral current studies. The experiment will search for the appearance of barνe from barν_μ produced in the beam-stop from muons decaying at rest. It will also search for ν_μ arrow νe oscillations with super high sensitivity. The detector is to be used in conjunction with the newly proposed high-intensity short beam-spill spallation source. The experiment will yield data with high statistical precision and small systematic errors due to the precise measurement of νe + ^12C arrow ^12N_g.s. + e^- cross section. The proposed detector makes it also possible to measure other neutrino cross sections with super high precision which are of interest to fundamental physics as well as nuclear physics and astrophysics.
