Simulations of the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment for the Sieroszowice Underground Laboratory (SUNLAB)

Abstract

The Sieroszowice Underground Laboratory in Poland, SUNLAB, had been studied in the years 2008-2011 within the framework of the FP7 LAGUNA design study as an option for the realization of a next generation large volume neutrino observatory in Europe. However, in order to fully understand its physics capabilities, the feasibility studies of the SUNLAB laboratory have continued after 2011, including sensitivity calculations focused on the delta CP measurement for a large LArTPC detector at a distance of 950 km from CERN in a long baseline neutrino experiment. For this purpose the neutrino beam based on the SPS proton accelerator at CERN was simulated and the LAr data used to simulate the detector response.
