  2. 1. Project Overview (see http://cern.ch/cngs) CNGS – a long base-line neutrino beam facility (732 km) sendnm beam ->detectnt appearance CNGS project at CERN: production of the nmbeam using protons from the existing accelerator chain At Gran Sasso: OPERA detecting nt

  3. CNGS: the main components 700 m 100 m 1000m 67 m vacuum p + C (interactions) p+, K+, (+) (decay in flight)  m+ + nm

  4. 2. Proton beam line overview and status

  5. Nominal beam parameters Upgrade phase: 3.5 1013 p

  6. Optics at Target Nominal parameters : • Beta at focus : 10 m, 20m • Beam size sat 400 GeV : 0.5 mm • Beam divergence s’ at 400 GeV : 0.05, 0.03 mrad Possible to increase further the beam size

  7. Proton beam line overview

  12. Final focusing onto the target (recuperated magnets)

  13. beam collimator target horn In order to protect the neck of the horn inner conductor d=18 mm): 1 m collimator in Boron Nitrite, d=14 mm.

  14. BN collimator Proton beam: last beam position / beam profile monitors upstream of the target station collimator and shielding

  15. 18 beam position monitors in proton beam line (BPG) + 4 in common line with LHC (BPK) 1 coupler in air on target table (BPKG) 8 proton beam profile monitors (BTVG) 18 beam loss monitors (BLM) 1 beam current transformer (BFCT) (+1 BFCT in common line with LHC Beam line instrumentation

  16. 18 Button Electrode BPGs in TT41 60mm Aperture Beam Position Monitoring Beam Position Measurement Requirements Intensity Range: 11012 to 3.51013

  17. Target Beam Position Monitor Target Beam Position Measurement Requirements Final standard BPG of the proton beam line & target BPKG  used to provide position at the target  setting up performed using final beam line BPG  aiming at target rods verified & tracked using target BPKG  accuracy of measurement ±0.2mm in ±2mm central region.  accuracy of measurement ±0.5mm outside ±2mm central region.

  18. BPKG – special beam position monitor on target table Stripline Coupler Pick-up operated in air

  19. Beam Profile monitors 75 mm carbon and 12 mm titanium screens 5 to 10 % precision requested Ti screen “in”
