High Intensity Neutrino Oscillation Facility in Europe
EUROnu  is prompted by the recent discovery that the neutrino changes type (or flavour) as it travels through space, a phenomenon referred to as neutrino oscillations. To investigate these oscillations will require new high intensity neutrino oscillation facilities. The design study will review the three currently accepted methods to realize such a neutrino facility (the so-called neutrino Superbeams, Beta Beams and Neutrino Factories) and do cost and risk assessments as well as a critical physics evaluation of these facilities.
