	A new project for the production of a very intense neutrino beam has arisen to enable the discovery of leptonic CP violation and neutrino mass hierarchy. This facility will use the proton linac of the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund to deliver the neutrino super beam. The ESS linac is expected to be fully operational at 5 MW power by 2022, producing 2 GeV and 2.86 ms long proton pulses at a rate of 14 Hz. An upgrade of the power to 10 MW and a frequency of 28 Hz, in which half is for the neutron beam, is necessary for the production of the neutrino beam. The primary proton beam-line completing the linac will consist of switchyards and accumulator rings. The secondary beam-line producing neutrinos will consist of a four-horn/target station, decay tunnel and beam dump. A megaton scale water Cherenkov detector will be located at a baseline of about 500 km in one of the existing mines in Sweden and it will measure the neutrino oscillations. The elements of the primary and secondary beam-lines and all the possible scenarios impacting the design of the ESSnuSB facility as well as the safety issues due to the high irradiation produced are presented and discussed in this paper.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research centre based on the world’s most powerful neutron source currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, using 2.0 GeV, 2.86 ms long proton pulses at 14 Hz for the spallation facility (5MW on target). The possibility to pulse the linac at 28 Hz to deliver, in parallel with the spallation neutron production, a very intense, cost effective, high performance neutrino beam. The high current in the horns of the target system for the neutrino production requires proton pulses far shorter than the linac pulse. Therefore an accumulator ring is required after the linac to produce the shorter pulses. Charge exchange injection of an H⁻ beam from the linac would be used. The Linac would deliver 1.1 10¹⁵ protons per pulse. Due to space charge limits, several rings or one ring re-filled several times during the neutrino cycle are necessary. A cost effective design of an accumulator that can handle this large number of ions will be shown, taking into account the structure of the linac pulse and the requirements of the target system. Beam dynamics issues, the injection system, the extraction and the distribution on the targets are addressed.
