Description
In the search for the CP-violation in the leptonic sector, crucial information has been obtained from neutrino experiments. The measurement of the third neutrino mixing angle, θ13, opened the possibility of discovering the Dirac leptonic CP violating angle, 𝛿CP with intense “super” neutrino beam experiments. In the light of these new findings, an urgent need has arisen to improve the detection sensitivity of the current long-baseline detectors, considering proton driver at MW scale with a MegaTon scale detector, with a key modification to place the far detectors at the second, rather than the first, oscillation maximum.
The European Spallation Source neutrino Super Beam (ESS𝜈𝜈SB) aims to benefit from the high power of the European Spallation Source (ESS) LINAC in Lund-Sweden, to produce the world’s most intense second-generation neutrino beam in order to search and measure, with precision, the CP-violation in the leptonic sector, at 5𝜎 significance level in more than 60% of the 𝛿CP range.
Here I will shed light on the current design study programs running within the collaboration and the physics potential of the experiment.
