The design and performance of the ESS Neutrino Super Beam project ESSSB

Abstract

The European Spallation Source linear proton accelerator will have a uniquely high power of 5 MW. The modifications and additions to the accelerator that are required to enable the generation of a uniquely intense neutrino Super Beam ESSSB for measurement of leptonic CP violation using a large water Cherenkov detector are described. ESSnuSB is complementary to the other two proposed Super Beam experiments Hyper-K and DUNE by the fact that the resulting high neutrino beam intensity allows to place the neutrino detector at the second oscillation maximum. The simulated performance of the ESSSB experiment is compared to the other two experiments under the assumption of the same systematic errors in all three experiments. The performance of ESSSB for CP violation precision measurements is found to be highly competitive.
