Particle and Astroparticle Physics ColloquiumThe European Spallation Source neutrino Super Beam project
Marcos Dracos (IPHC, Université de Strasbourg, CNRS/IN2P3)
After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter were produced in exactly equal quantities through materialization of the huge energy released. Today, however, there is no antimatter at all in the Universe. To investigate this fundamental problem the ESSnuSB project, based on the use of the world-uniquely powerful proton accelerator of the European Spallation Source (ESS) currently under construction in Lund, was initiated. The ESS 5 MW proton linac will be the world’s most powerful accelerator, enabling the production of the world’s most intense neutron flux. The proton driver can also be used to produce a very intense neutrino beam for CP violation discovery in the leptonic sector, very important for the understanding of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. During the last four years an EU supported Design Study of an ESS neutrino Super Beam (ESSnuSB) has been successfully performed with the participation of physicists from 15 European institutions.
