First Year of Physics at CNGS

The CNGS facility (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) aims at directly detecting νμ→ντ neutrino oscillations [1]. An intense νμ beam (1017 νμ per day) is generated at CERN and directed over 732 km towards the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, LNGS, in Italy, where two large and complex detectors, OPERA and...

description The CNGS facility (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) aims at directly detecting νμ→ντ neutrino oscillations [1]. An intense νμ beam (1017 νμ per day) is generated at CERN and directed over 732 km towards the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, LNGS, in Italy, where two large and complex detectors, OPERA and ICARUS, are located. Having resolved successfully some initial issues that occurred since its commissioning in 2006, that will be briefly summarized here, the facility had its first complete year of physics with 1.78×1019 protons extracted towards CNGS. The experiences gained in operating this 500 kW neutrino beam facility along with highlights of the beam performance in 2008 are discussed.
