The CNGS neutrino beam
Abstract
The CERN to Gran Sasso Neutrino beam (CNGS) was commissioned at CERN in early August 2006 and was first sent at low intensity to Gran Sasso on August 17, 2006. The Borexino, LVD and OPERA detectors continued the commissioning of their detectors and started taking data with practically no dead time. The CNGS operated smoothly with good quality. In a short time the 3 detectors collected several hundred events with clean time distributions
