	Within the framework of the LAGUNA-LBNO project, CERN has started design studies in view of producing neutrinos for future long base line neutrino experiments. These design studies foresee a staged approach in the increase of the primary proton beam power, used for the neutrino production. The first step consists of exploring the feasibility of a CERN SPS beam power upgrade from the existing 500 kW, presently available to CNGS, to 750 kW. This beam should then be transferred to a new to be built neutrino beam line that is dimensioned for a beam power of 2 MW. The 2 MW proton beam is to be provided at a subsequent stage by a 30 - 50 GeV High-Power Proton Synchrotron (HP-PS), which is a major part of the design studies. This paper will provide an overview of the project and then focus on the preliminary ideas for the HP-PS design study.

Within the framework of the LAGUNA-LBNO project, CERN has started design studies in view of producing neutrinos for future long base line neutrino experiments. These design studies foresee a staged approach in the increase of the primary proton beam power, used for the neutrino production. The first step consists of exploring the feasibility of a CERN SPS beam power upgrade from the existing 500 kW, presently available to CNGS, to 750 kW. This beam should then be transferred to a new to be built neutrino beam line that is dimensioned for a beam power of 2 MW. The 2 MW proton beam is to be provided at a subsequent stage by a 30 - 50 GeV High-Power Proton Synchrotron (HP-PS), which is a major part of the design studies. This paper will provide an overview of the project and then focus on the preliminary ideas for the HP-PS design study.
