Abstract
The CNGS (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) project aims to produce a muon neutrino beam for the investigation of the oscillations of neutrinos. The beam is directed from CERN SPS accelerator to the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN in Italy, 730 km from CERN, where the OPERA experiment is designed to search for the appearance of tau neutrinos in the beam. Construction of the beam started in September 2000 and commissioning ended in early August 2006. The beam was first sent to Gran Sasso on August 17, 2006. An overview of the CNGS project and of the commissioning is provided.
