Simulations of neutrino oscillations for a wide band beam from CERN to LENA

Abstract

Neutrino oscillations from a wide band beam of 1-6 GeV at CERN to LENA, a 50 kton liquid scintillator, at Pyhasalmi mine 2288 km apart are simulated. The performance is very promising and this can be considered as a realistic alternative for the next long baseline experiment. Different performance factors and baselines are compared and the studied setup is found to be sufficiently close to a realistic optimum.
