Description
The precision era of neutrino physics requires measurements of
absolute neutrino cross sections at the GeV scale with exquisite (1%)
precision. These measurements are presently limited by the
uncertainties on neutrino flux: the goal of the ERC ENUBET Project is
to demonstrate that such uncertainties can be removed employing novel
monitoring techniques of the leptons at the neutrino source. In
particular, a reduction of these systematics by one order of magnitude
can be achieved monitoring the positron production in the decay tunnel
originating from the K_e3 decays of charged kaons in a sign and
momentum selected narrow band beam. In this talk we present the
results obtained during the first year of the Project on beamline
simulation, rate and dose assessment, detector prototyping and
evaluation of the physics reach.
