LAGUNA-LBNO: Large apparatus studying grand unification and neutrino astrophysics and long baseline neutrino oscillations

LAGUNA (Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification and Neutrino Astrophysics) and LAGUNA-LBNO (Large Apparatus studying Grand Unification and Neutrino Astrophysics and Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillations) are European FP7 Design Studies. Within these studies Pan-European research infrastructures in deep underground cavities able to host a very large multipurpose next-generation neutrino observatory are investigated. These future megaton scale detectors are dedicated to nucleon decay, neutrinos from supernovse, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as neutrinos from a future Super-Beam or -Beam to measure the mixing angle (13), the CP violating phase and the mass hierarchy.
