Long-baseline neutrino beam for the LENA detector — •Marta Meloni and Achim Stahl — RWTH Aachen University, Germany
LENA stands for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy; despite its name this future liquid scintillator detector is also a useful tool for neutrino physics at GeV energies and is suitable as a far detector for a long baseline neutrino beam experiment. Possible perspectives of such an experiment are the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and the measurement of the CP-violating phase δCP, depending on the baseline. Several locations are currently discussed for the choice of the detector site, one of the most favorable being a mine in Pyhäsalmi, Finland. This talk will focus on the geometrical properties and discovery potential of a possible neutrino beam from the Swedish facility ESS in Lund to the LENA detector, assumed to be situated in the Pyhäsalmi mine at a distance of 1134.7 km.
