Scientific paper

ORLaND, the Oak Ridge Laboratory for Neutrino Detectors, is a proposed underground laboratory adjacent to the target station of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) under construction at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The neutrons, copious πmesons, and hence neutrinos, will be generated by a 1.3 GeV proton beam (2 MW) impinging on a mercury target with 600 ns wide pulses at 60 Hz. The neutrino production rates are predicted to be: R(ν e) = R(ν μ ) = R(bar {ν }μ ) = 9.4 × 1014 sec-1. Fluxes from this source will be adequate to support a broad program of neutrino-nucleus cross-sections important in nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and elementary particle physics. A broad selection of possible experiments is discussed.
