Home Page of the OPERA Frascati group

OPERA is a massive lead/emulsion target for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation
search. The experiment can perform an appearance search for numu-nutau oscillation in the
parameter region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. It exploits nuclear emulsion for the
unambiguous detection of the decay of the tau produced in nutau CC interactions. OPERA will
run at the LNGS in the future CNGS neutrino beam from CERN.
