AB - The Fermilab Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) was proposed to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and demonstrate leptonic CP violation. The current design of the facility that produces the neutrino beam (LBNF) uses magnetic horns to collect pions and a decay pipe to allow them to decay. In this paper, a design of a possible alternative for the conventional neutrino beam in LBNF is presented. In this design, a FODO magnet beam line is used to collect the pions from the downstream face of a horn, bend them by ∼ 5.8 degrees and then transport them in a straight beam line where they decay to produce neutrinos. The idea of using neutrinos from the PIon beam Line (nuPIL) provides flavor-pure neutrino beams that can be well understood by implementing standard beam measurement technology. The neutrino flux and the resulting δ_{CP} sensitivity from the FODO nuPIL are also presented in the paper.
