Abstract

The feasibility of a next generation neutrino observatory in Europe is being considered within the LAGUNA design study. To accommodate giant neu- trino detectors and shield them from cosmic rays, a new very large under- ground infrastructure is required. Seven potential candidate sites in differ- ent parts of Europe and at several distances from CERN are being studied: Boulby (UK), Canfranc (Spain), Fr.jus (France/Italy), Pyh.salmi (Finland), Polkowice-Sieroszowice (Poland), Slanic (Romania) and Umbria (Italy). The design study aims at the comprehensive and coordinated technical assessment of each site, at a coherent cost estimation, and at a prioritization of the sites within the summer 2010.
