Description

In the recent New Opportunities in the Physics Landscape at CERN, and Neutrino Strategy workshop organized at CERN in 2009, a neutrino experiment proposal followed by a letter of intent as presented where the revival of a PS originated neutrino beam to study sterile neutrinos was proposed. The idea is to reuse the neutrino beam infrastructure made in 1980's for the neutrino beam from PS to BEBC and novel detectors as that of LArgon TPC. This presentation will give an overview of the experimental facility lay-out and the challenging requirements. The PS beam production together with extraction, beam transport and secondary beam production will be addressed.
