1. A High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe
FP7 Design Study
Aims:
DS for CERN to Fréjus SB, NF, Beta-Beam
focus on new features or potential show-stoppers
design reports for each
physics and “cost” comparison
including baseline detector performances
report results to C.E.R.N. Council

2. History Proposal submitted 2nd May 2007
“Approved” ~ beginning August 07
highest mark ever received by DS
smallest budget cut of PP proposals (SLHC, ILC)
Currently “negotiating”
Start date: 1st July 2008
Budget: 13.7MEUR total, 4.0MEUR from EC
Duration: 4 years, but funding mainly years 2-4
