摘要
EUROnu 项目研究了欧洲未来三种高强度中微子振荡设施的可行方案。第一种是超级束流（Super Beam），其中中微子源自利用 CERN 高功率超导质子直线加速器产生的 4 MW 质子束轰击靶材所产生的π介子衰变；该设施的远端探测器是位于 Fréjus 隧道的 500 kt MEMPHYS 水切伦科夫探测器。第二种设施是中微子工厂（Neutrino Factory），其中中微子源自存储环中{\mu}+ 和{\mu}- 束流的衰变；该情况下的远端探测器是基线长度为 2000 km 的 100 kt 磁化铁中微子探测器。第三种选项是β束流（Beta Beam），其中中微子源自存储在环中的β发射同位素（特别是 6He 和 18Ne）的衰变；其远端探测器同样是位于 Fréjus 隧道的 MEMPHYS 探测器。EUROnu 已对这些设施进行了概念设计并研究了探测器的性能。基于此，确定了各设施的物理探测能力，特别是在轻子 sector 中测量 CP 破坏的能力，并估算了建设成本。结果表明，最佳建设方案是中微子工厂。然而，若为其他目的构建了强大的质子驱动源，或为天体粒子物理构建了 MEMPHYS 探测器，则超级束流方案也变得极具吸引力。
