Introduction

The CERN West Area Neutrino Facility (WANF) [42] provides an essentially pure beam. It has been in operation for over 20 years and was largely rebuilt in 1992-1993 [43, 44, 45] for the CHORUS and NOMAD experiments. It has now been operating for three years with record intensities. We propose a limited number of modifications to its present configuration which can be implemented using existing infrastructure and expertise, and with minimal additional expenditure.
