Physics potential of the SPL super beam

Performances of a neutrino beam generated by the CERN SPL proton driver are computed considering a 440 kton water Cerenkov detector at 130 km from the target.

\theta_{13}

sensitivity down to

1.2^\circ

and a

\delta

sensitivity comparable to a Neutrino Factory, for

\theta_{13} \geq 3^\circ

, are within the reach of such a project.
