Description
We present an optimization of the hadron focusing system for a low-energy high intensity conventional neutrino beam (Super-Beam) proposed on the basis of the HP-SPL at CERN with a beam power of 4 MW and an energy of 4.5 GeV.
The far detector would be a 440 kton Water Cherenkov detector (MEMPHYS) located at a baseline of 130 km in Fr\'ejus site.
The neutrino fluxes simulation relies on a new GEANT4 based simulation coupled with an optimization algorithm based on the maximization of the sensitivity limit on the $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle.
A new configuration adopting a multiple horn system with solid targets is proposed which
improves the sensitivity to theta(13) and the CP violating phase delta(CP).
