Description

The goal of the CNGS (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) project is to detect mu-neutrino to tau-neutrino oscillation over a long base line (732 km) through the appearance of tau-neutrino in a pure mu-neutrino beam. In this presentation the process of optimization which led to the present design of the mu-neutrino beam, and fast simulation tools that have been developed, will be summarized. The effects of misalignments of the beam-line elements on the mu-neutrino (and tau-neutrino) intensity at Gran Sasso will be described. Finally the proposed muon monitoring system, located after the CNGS beam dump, which should be able to detect and control these effects, will be discussed.
