The ESS 2 GeV proton linac as proton driver for a neutrino Super Beam
The European Spallation Source (ESS), which is being built in Lund, Sweden, will have a 2 GeV 5 MW (alternatively 2.5 GeV 5MW) superconduction linac to produce 1.6x1016 protons on target/second* which is two orders of magnitude more than any other planned proton driver for a neutrino beam T2HK – JPARK to HyperKamiokande 30 GeV, 0.75 MW -> 1.6x1014 protons on target/second LBNE – FNAL to Sanford Lab GeV, 0.7 MW –> 1.1x1014 protons on target/second First beams 2019 Full linac operation 2022 * = Power [W]/(Energy [eV]x1.6x10-19) ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

To measure low energy neutrinos a large water Cherenkov detector is required (low neutrino cross section) and sufficient (no inelastic event) A “Hyperkamiokande” type detector to study; Neutrinos from accelerators (Super Beam) but also Supernovae neutrinos (burst + "relics"), Solar Neutrinos, Atmospheric neutrinos, Geoneutrinos Proton decay up to ~1035 years life time. All these other measurements require the detector to be shielded by ~1000 m rock from cosmic ray muons The MEMPHYS detector of the FP7 LAGUNA project; Fiducial mass: 440 kt in 3 cylinders 65x65 m Readout: 3x81k 12” PMTs, 30% geom. cover.

Which is the optimal base line for the ESS SuperBeam for CP violation discovery? The fraction of the full δCP range 0o-360o within which CP violation can be discovered as function of the baseline length in km for proton linac energies 2, 2.5 and GeV. The lower (upper) curves are for CP violation discovery at 5σ (3σ ) significance. Enrique Fernandez Garpenberg Znkgruvan ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

How can the ESS linac be used as a proton driver for a neutrino Super Beam, maintaining spallation neutron production unchanged? Proposal; By rising the linac 3-ms-pulse frequency from 14 Hz to 28 Hz, thereby doubling the average RF power from 5 MW to 10 MW This will allow for that 14 linac pulses per second be used for neutron physics and 14 pulses for neutrino physics. For this it will be necessary to double the output power from the linac RF sources and the linac cooling capacity. Modulators, amplifiers and power transfer equipment should be designed for the doubled average power of the linac already during the build-up phase. ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

Test of operation a RF power source at 28 Hz A prototype 352 MHz spoke cavity for the ESS linac will be tested in the FREIA Laboratory at Uppsala University already as from July 2014 in a cryostat at 14 Hz pulse frequency and at the full instantaneous power required for ESS proton acceleration, which is 350 kW. For the generation of the 352 MHz power both a tetrode amplifier and a solid state amplifier will be tried out. As part of the EUROSB project, the amplifier pulse frequency will be raised to 28 Hz, thus doubling the average power to the cavity. The influence of this higher power on the operation of the cavity and on the capacity to cool the cavity itself and, in particular, its RF coupler will be studied.

The Target A challenging part of this project is the target to be hit by the 5 MW proton beam to produce the pions needed for the neutrino beam production. The use of classical monolithic solid targets is impossible for this application because of the absence of efficient cooling. One design which is under investigation is a packed bed of titanium spheres cooled with cold helium gas. It needs to be investigated whether the pulsed beam will generate vibrations in the spheres, which could be transmitted to the packed bed container and beam windows and cause degradation of the spheres where they are in contact with each other. Tests of such a target are planned using the HiRadMat high intensity proton irradiation facility at CERN. ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

The Neutrino Horn A key element for generating a neutrino beam is the hadron collector, also called neutrino horn, used to focus in the forward direction the charged pions produced in the proton-target collisions A pulsed power supply able of providing the very high current (~350 kA) to be circulated inside the horn at the required pulse rate has not been produced so far and thus needs to be prototyped. Furthermore, the time duration of this high current pulse can only be of a few microsecond to not overheat the horn. This implies that the ESS pulse length of ca 3 milliseconds has to be shortened by ca 2000 times using a storage ring in which the whole 3 ms long pulse is accumulated by multi(2000)-turn injection and then ejected in one turn. To obtain a 1.5 μs pulse the ring should have a 450 m circumference. ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

H- accleration, injection and compression During the 3 ms long period of injection in the storage ring the large stored positive charge will repel the successively arriving negatively positive protons. To alleviate this problem one must inject H- ions and strip off the electrons from the H- ions at the moment when they enter the stored circulating beam. The proposed plan for simultaneous H- acceleration is to have one 3 ms long 50 mA H- pulse accelerated in the 70 ms long gap between to proton (H+) pulses. The large stored charge also causes space charge problems and beam blow-up in the compressor storage ring, which can be alleviated by dividing up the ring on four rings. This is a trick already used for the CERN PS Booster ring. The 4 rings of the CERN PS Booster ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

Currently we are investigating the possibilities offered by the North shaft and decline of the Garpenberg mine The construction of this shaft and decline started in the 1960s. The current shaft depth of 830 m was reached in 1994 and the depth of the decline (=descending truck tunnel, cross section 5mx6m), which was m in 1998, has later been extended to 1230 m depth. In tons (= m3) of ore was transported with trucks on the decline up to the shaft hoist at 830 m depth and hoisted up to the ground level so m3 can be hoised in 5 years. The hoist, shaft and head-frame (=hoist surface tower) will no longer be used for mining as from end of To preserve them will require their maintenance.

The dominating limestone and dolomite rock in the ca 2 km broad and 10 km long syncline (~area) of the mine is not suitable for the excavation of the very large MEMPHYS/HyperK type of detector caverns. However, the syncline is surrounded by granite which is of sufficient strength to allow the safe construction of large caverns. Bore holes have been made out to the granite zone and recent rock strength measurements of 18 granite bore core samples collected (see photographs below ) have yielded a mean value of the uniaxial compressive strength of 206 MPa (cf. 232 Mpa at Pyhäsalmi mine). The rock stress at 880 m depth has previously been measured. The main component of the stress is horizontal and directed perpendicularly to the syncline, i.e. to the north-west. The rock stress magnitude is about 40 MPa (cf. 52 MPa at Pyhäsalmi mine at 900 m) which is a little less than twice the vertical stress component that is induced by the gravitation.

CONCLUSIONS We propose the utilisation of the ESS linac to build a
physics competitive and cost effective world leading neutrino Super Beam facility for neutrino CP violation discovery. The technical feasibility of this project are being studied in detail with computer simulations and prototype tests. There is a strong synergy between the use of the ESS linac for the production of spallation neutrons and a low energy neutrino Super Beam . The MEMPHYS type neutrino detector will also enable a rich variety of other measurements involving atmospheric and cosmic neutrinos ESSnuSB presentation at NNN Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University

Systematic uncertainties in long-baseline neutrino oscillations for large $θ_{13}$ Pilar Coloma, Patrick Huber, Joachim Kopp, Walter Winter (Submitted on 26 Sep 2012) We study the physics potential of future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at large $\theta_{13}$, focusing especially on systematic uncertainties. We discuss superbeams, \bbeams, and neutrino factories, and for the first time compare these experiments on an equal footing with respect to systematic errors. We explicitly simulate near detectors for all experiments, we use the same implementation of systematic uncertainties for all experiments, and we fully correlate the uncertainties among detectors, oscillation channels, and beam polarizations as appropriate. As our primary performance indicator, we use the achievable precision in the measurement of the CP violating phase $\deltacp$. We find that a neutrino factory is the only instrument that can measure $\deltacp$ with a precision similar to that of its quark sector counterpart. All neutrino beams operating at peak energies $\gtrsim 2$ GeV are quite robust with respect to systematic uncertainties, whereas especially \bbeams and \thk suffer from large cross section uncertainties in the quasi-elastic regime, combined with their inability to measure the appearance signal cross sections at the near detector. A noteworthy exception is the combination of a $\gamma=100$ \bbeam with an \spl-based superbeam, in which all relevant cross sections can be measured in a self-consistent way. This provides a performance, second only to the neutrino factory. For other superbeam experiments such as \lbno and the setups studied in the context of the \lbne reconfiguration effort, statistics turns out to be the bottleneck. In almost all cases, the near detector is not critical to control systematics since the combined fit of appearance and disappearance data already constrains the impact of systematics to be small provided that the three active flavor oscillation framework is valid.
