6. Mass hierarchy determination for different base lines with ESS νSB during 10 years 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 6 The significance in mass hierarchy determination as function of δ CP for different base line lengths (Enrique Fernandez) Measurements with atmospheric neutrinos will further improve this performance

7. 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 7 7 A Megaton water Cherenkov detector to study; Neutrinos from accelerators (Super Beam) but also Supernovae neutrinos (burst + "relics"), Solar Neutrinos, Atmospheric neutrinos, Geoneutrinos Proton decay up to ~10 35 years life time. All these other measurements require the detector to be shielded by ~1000 m rock from cosmic ray muons To measure low energy neutrinos a large water Cherenkov detector is required (low neutrino cross section) and sufficient (few inelastic events)

8. A distinct feature of ESSnuSB is its low beam energy. One implications of this is that the second oscillation maximum will be located at not too large a distance from the source. Several mines located at this distance from ESS/Lund are available (not so for LBNE and HyperK) 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 8

Extension of access tunnel and second hoist shaft needed. New ore volume

11. Currently we are investigating the possibilities offered by the North shaft and decline of the Garpenberg mine In 2012 300 000 tons (=110 000 m 3 ) of ore was transported with trucks on the decline up to the shaft hoist at 830 m depth and hoisted up to the ground level so 770 000 m 3 can be hoised in 7 years. The hoist and shaft will no longer be used for mining after 2014 and can therefore be use for the detector cavern excavation. Bore holes have been made out to the granite zone and recent rock strength measurements of 18 granite bore core samples collected have yielded a mean value of the uniaxial compressive strength of 206 MPa (cf. 232 Mpa at Pyhäsalmi mine). The rock stress magnitude at 880 m depth has been measured and is about 40 MPa (cf. 52 MPa at Pyhäsalmi mine at 900 m). 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 11

12. In Pyhäslami there is mafic or intermediate volcanics, in Garpenberg early granites and in Kamiokande amphibolite and gneiss. They all represent volcanic, non- sedimental rock which is the most competent rock for making large excavations. The proposed location at Gapenebrg Norra is good regarding the geological aspects. The area is dominated of forests on surface. There are only 6 different owners of the land including Boliden AB, Hedemora Kommun and Sveaskog owned by the Swedish state. There are a few houses located about 1 km from the proposed area. 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 12 Granite drill cores

13. For construction of the neutrino detector there must be an approval from the environmental court, Miljödomstolen, about the outlet of water, management of rock from the excavation, noise level and other environmental aspects. The most critical factor is the disposal of the large amounts of waste rock. However, as the rock outside the mine syncline does not contain sulfur and other contaminating elements like the rock inside does, it should be possible to sell it as construction material. 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 13

14. The saving in cost by using Bolidens mining infrastructure is of the order of 100 MEUR and the gain in construction time ca 5 years. There is an urgent need for negotiations with Boliden and establish a “Letter of Intent” type agreement to keep the Garbenberg Norra infrastructure in operational order until can be taken over by ESSnuSB. LIST OF USEFUL EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN GARPENBERG NORRA - Complete hoist installation down to 850 m including spare parts for the hoisting of rock - Complete coarse crusher on level 800 with feeders and conveyer belts - Complete skip-loading station on level 805 - Headframe with pockets for hoisted rock. - Decline tunnel down to 1200 m used for transport by trucks - Electrical installations for power supply of the equipment - Pumping and ventilation installations 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 14

15. The detector cavern site will be accessed from the bottom of the hoist shaft through a ca 1km long horizontal tunnel and from there be excavated downwards. The walls of the cavern must be secured against spalling by inserting a large amount of bolts of several meters length in the walls and by covering the walls with a meter-thick lining of concrete (“shotcrete”). There are different ways of containing the water, the simples being to cover the concrete lining with a water- tight plastic membrane. 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 15 Infrastructure needed for the water Cherenkov neutrino detector MEMPHYS cavern wall reinforcement bolts

16. The water in the cavern which needs to be continuously filtered and purified in an industrial size purification plant and temperature monitored. There must be ventilation, access tunnels and control rooms The order 100 000 photo-detectors need to be mounted on large frames that maintained the detectors in position with good precision. High voltage and signal cables must be laid out and connected. There must be water transparency and photo-detector efficiency monitors of several different kinds 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 16 Super-Kamiokand e

32. Conclusions The far detector needs to be a Megaton water Cherenkov detector to attain a sufficiently large detector volume The far detector needs to be located about 1000 m underground in order to enable measurements of proton life-time and supernova neutrinos There are suitable mining infrastructures in stable rock available around the location of the second oscillation maximum –the Garpenberg mine is our prime candidate 2014-03-12ee 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 32

33. It is important to soon write a Letter of Intent with the owner Boliden of the Garpenberg mine in order to be able to use for the detector caver construction the Garpenberg Norra mining infrastructure that Boliden will soon abandon The detector cavern and its infrastructure represent a dominant cost in the ESSnuSB budget Extensive reports on three different future Megaton water Cherenkov detector projects have been written over the last few years which we should study and make maximum use of for ESSnuSB There is an currently an intense and promising development of new photon detectors which should be we should explore and exploit 2014-03-12 2nd ESSnuSB Meeting in Lund Tord Ekelöf Uppsala University 33
