| Popis: | We describe a novel configuration for a neutrino beam line that can simultaneously support both long and short baseline experiments. The neutrino beams originate from pions that are first focused by a magnetic horn, as in a conventional neutrino beam. However, in the case of nuPIL, the horn is followed by a magnetic lattice that is used to select the pion charge and then transports the pions in a production straight. This produces extremely pure neutrino and anti-neutrino beams, while minimizing the amount of beam power that is transported underground for the long-baseline physics program. This configuration greatly simplifies the civil construction leading to a large cost reduction. The principles of the design of nuPIL are presented, together with tracking results and the resulting neutrino flux. The potential of the facility for CP-violation searches, in the framework of the DUNE experiment, is discussed and compared to that of an optimized beam from LBNF. |
