  Very intense neutrino beams and large neutrino detectors will be needed in
order to enable the discovery of CP violation in the leptonic sector. We
propose to use the proton linac of the European Spallation Source currently
under construction in Lund, Sweden to deliver, in parallel with the spallation
neutron production, a very intense, cost effective and high performance
neutrino beam. The baseline program for the European Spallation Source linac is
that it will be fully operational at 5 MW average power by 2022, producing 2
GeV 2.86 ms long proton pulses at a rate of 14 Hz. Our proposal is to upgrade
the linac to 10 MW average power and 28 Hz, producing 14 pulses/s for neutron
production and 14 pulses/s for neutrino production. Furthermore, because of the
high current required in the pulsed neutrino horn, the length of the pulses
used for neutrino production needs to be compressed to a few $\mu$s with the
aid of an accumulator ring. A long baseline experiment using this Super Beam
and a megaton underground Water Cherenkov detector located in existing mines
300-600 km from Lund will make it possible to discover leptonic CP violation at
5 $\sigma$ significance level in up to 50% of the leptonic Dirac CP-violating
phase range. This experiment could also determine the neutrino mass hierarchy
at a significance level of more than 3 $\sigma$ if this issue will not already
have been settled by other experiments by then. The mass hierarchy performance
could be increased by combining the neutrino beam results with those obtained
from atmospheric neutrinos detected by the same large volume detector. This
detector will also be used to measure the proton lifetime, detect cosmological
neutrinos and neutrinos from supernova explosions. Results on the sensitivity
to leptonic CP violation and the neutrino mass hierarchy are presented.
