The CERN neutrino beam to Gran Sasso and future long baseline experiments in Europe
The design of a new neutrino facility at CERN is described. Delivered by the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), protons at 400 GeV/c create a neutrino beam directed towards the Gran Sasso Laboratory (Italy), located 732 km away from CERN, thus allowing the possibility to perform long-baseline neutrino...

| Sumario: | The design of a new neutrino facility at CERN is described. Delivered by the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), protons at 400 GeV/c create a neutrino beam directed towards the Gran Sasso Laboratory (Italy), located 732 km away from CERN, thus allowing the possibility to perform long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments aiming at elucidating the source of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. The main features of the neutrino beam and the detectors proposed to accomplish such experimental program are reviewed. (13 refs). |
