The method developed for the calculation of the flux and composition of the West Area Neutrino Beam used by NOMAD in its search for neutrino oscillations is described. The calculation is based on particle production rates computed using a recent version of FLUKA and modified to take into account the cross sections measured by the SPY and NA20 experiments. These particles are propagated through the beam line taking into account the material and magnetic fields they traverse. The neutrinos produced through their decays are tracked to the NOMAD detector. The fluxes of the four neutrino flavours at NOMAD are predicted with an uncertainty of about 8% for nu(mu) and nu(e), 10% for antinu(mu), and 12% for antinu(e). The energy-dependent uncertainty achieved on the R(e, mu) prediction needed for a nu(mu)->nu(e) oscillation search ranges from 4% to 7%, whereas the overall normalization uncertainty on this ratio is 4.2%.

Neutrino Fluxes at a Muon Collider
The neutrino flux around a 10 TeV muon collider is about 120 times higher than earlier estimates, with non-negligible additional sources from showers, rock interactions, and collisions.

Monophotons at Neutrino Experiments from Neutrino Polarizability
NOMAD and MiniBooNE data currently constrain the neutrino-polarizability coupling product most strongly, while SBND and DUNE are projected to improve these bounds by up to three orders of magnitude.
