nuSCOPE
neutrino SPS COmplex for Precision Experiments
To refine the ESPPU input studies and investigate areas of synergy with other experimental designs, we are hosting a workshop at CERN from 13 to 15 October. The workshop aims to:
- inform the community about aspects related to beam design and instrumentation;
- invite contributions.
- gather suggestions and gauge interest in possible neutrino detector designs;
- discuss the physics goals of the experiment.
nuSCOPE has submitted an input document to the 2026 European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (see its accompanying document, arXiv2503.21589). As part of this document, nuSCOPE reported a first assessment of the physics reach of a cross-section experiment using a monitored and tagged beamline, and used a simplistic detector design .
nuSCOPE is a collaboration formed as a result of the merging of the ENUBET and NuTag collaborations. The collaboration is investigating the physics potential and feasibility of a short-baseline neutrino beam experiment at CERN, using a monitored and tagged neutrino beam. Thanks to its unprecedented control over the neutrino flux, such a facility is uniquely positioned to perform precise measurements of neutrino-nucleus scattering processes, thus tackling the main source of systematic uncertainty for future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
