Description
The ESS neutrino Super Beam (ESSnuSB) project aims to produce a highly intense, second-generation neutrino beam optimized for precision measurement at the second neutrino oscillation maximum, providing an enhanced capability to discover CP violation in the leptonic sector and to measure the CP violating phase with high precision. ESSνSB will be integrated into the ESS accelerator facility, which is originally designed to deliver a 2.0 GeV, 5 MW proton beam for neutron production, and will accelerate the additional pulses required for the neutrino production. By using interleaved pulses in ESS proton linac, the power will be effectively increased from 5 to 10 MW. This project has received funding from EU in the framework of Horizon Europe 2020 (2018-2022) and Horizon Europe (2023-2026) to carry out feasibility studies. Initial design studies-covering all parts from ESS proton linac up to the location of the neutrino far neutrino detector- are documented in the Conceptual Design Report (CDR). A continuation of this work, ESSnuSB+, aims to enable cross-section measurements and sterile neutrino searches. It proposes two low-energy facilities; nuSTORM, which produces neutrinos from muons decays in a storage ring, and ENUBET, which produces neutrinos from pion decays and monitors the neutrino beam by detecting the decay muons. An updated overview of the project will be given in this work.
