| 2. Description of the CNGS project |
In the SPS, the protons will be accelerated to their final energy of 400 GeV, ejected and transported in a transfer line (TN4, to be built) towards the CNGS target. The ejection point from the SPS protons will be in the sandstone molasse, 60 metres below the existing buildings of the zone BA4. All the installations in the CNGS project will be underground. |
