CNGS beam with the OPERA experiment

Search for ν τ appearance via neutrino oscillations in the ν µ CNGS beam with the OPERA experiment The OPERA neutrino detector in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) is designed to realize the first detection of neutrino oscillations in the appearance mode through the study of νµ → ντ oscillations. The apparatus consists of an emulsion/lead target associated to electronic detectors and...

ICANOE and OPERA experiments at the LNGS/CNGS

We discuss two experiments ICANOE and OPERA that have been proposed within the context of long-baseline and atmospheric neutrino experiments in Europe. The joint ICANOE/OPERA program aims at further improving our understanding of the effect seen in atmospheric neutrinos. This program is based on (1) a continuation of the observation of atmospheric neutrinos with the improved technique of ICANOE...

Sterile neutrinos at the CNGS

We study the potential of the CNGS beam in constraining the parameter space of a model with one sterile neutrino separated from three active ones by an O(eV) masssquared difference, ∆m sbl . We perform our analysis using the OPERA detector as a reference (our analysis can be upgraded including a detailed simulation of the ICARUS detector). We point out that the channel with the largest potentia...

The CNGS Targert - Explained

This note summarizes the information on the CNGS target design and and its operation conditions. The construction parameters and highlight information on the engineering studies performed at the design and construction phase are presented as a fast introduction to those interested. Last, in some critical areas like the thermal behavior of the target, calculations are included to adjust the esti...
