Description
The CERN neutrinos to Gran Sasso (CNGS) project, presently under construction, has the aim to generate an intense muon neutrino beam in the direction of the Gran Sasso laboratory. The progress of the CNGS project is presented. After the completion of the civil engineering in June 2003 and the construction of the beam dump, the installation of the 1 km long decay pipe is now under way. The installation of general services has started in some of the tunnels and will take momentum as of August 2004. In parallel, the equipment design and procurement are advancing. The beam dynamics for the proton beam has been studied in detail, and results on the aperture of the line and the beam stability at the target have been obtained. Detailed equipment layout and installation plans for the second half of 2005 are now being made. First CNGS neutrino beam is scheduled for spring 2006.
