AbstractThe Protvino accelerator facility located in the Moscow region, Russia, is in a good position to offer a rich experimental research program in the field of neutrino physics. Of particular interest is the possibility to direct a neutrino beam from Protvino towards the KM3NeT/ORCA detector, which is currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea 40 km offshore Toulon, France. This proposal is known as P2O. Thanks to its baseline of 2595 km, such an experiment would yield an unparalleled sensitivity to matter effects in the Earth, allowing for the determination of the neutrino mass ordering with a high level of certainty after only a few years of running at a modest beam intensity of $approx$ 90 kW. At the same time, a mild sensitivity to the leptonic CP-violating Dirac phase can be achieved. A second phase of the experiment, comprising a further intensity upgrade of the accelerator complex and a significant densification of the ORCA detector, would allow for a high precision measurement of the CP phase, competitive and complementary to other planned experiments. The initial composition and energy spectrum of the neutrino beam would need to be monitored by a near detector, to be constructed several hundred meters downstream from the proton beam target. The same neutrino beam and near detector set-up would also allow for neutrino-nuclei cross section measurements to be performed. A short-baseline sterile neutrino search experiment would also be possible.
