This beam is aimed at megaton mass physics, a large water Cherenkov detector, proposed for the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane in France, with a baseline of 130 km. The aim of this proposed facility is to study CP violation in the neutrino sector. In the study reported here, we have developed the conceptual design of the neutrino beam, especially the target and the magnetic focusing device. Indeed, this beam presents several unprecedented challenges, related to the high primary proton beam power (4 MW), the high repetition rate (50 Hz), and the low kinetic energy of the protons (4.5 GeV). The design is completed by a study of all the main components of the system, starting from the transport system to guide the beam to the target up to the beam dump. This is the first complete study of a neutrino beam based on a pebble-bed target capable of standing the large heat deposition of MW class proton beams Affiliations:| Baussan E. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Bielski J. | - | Cracow University of Technology (PL) | | Bobeth C. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Bouquerel E. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Caretta O. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Cupial P. | - | AGH University of Science and Technology (PL) | | Davenne T. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Densham C. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Dracos M. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Fitton M. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Gaudiot G. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Kozien M. | - | Cracow University of Technology (PL) | | Lacny L. | - | Cracow University of Technology (PL) | | Lepers B. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Longhin A. | - | Irfu, CEA-Saclay (FR) | | Loveridge P. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Osswald F. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Poussot P. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Rooney M. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Skoczeń B. | - | Cracow University of Technology (PL) | | Szybinski B. | - | other affiliation | | Ustrzycka A. | - | other affiliation | | Vassilopoulos N. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Wilcox D. | - | STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (GB) | | Wroblewski A. | - | other affiliation | | Wurtz J. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Zeter V. | - | Université de Strasbourg (FR) | | Zito M. | - | Irfu, CEA-Saclay (FR) |
