Abstract
OPERA is a long baseline neutrino experiment, designed to search for νμ → ντ oscillation through the direct observation of ντ in the almost pure CNGS νμ beam produced at CERN and detected at LNGS, the large underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory 732km away from CERN. The detector construction was completed at the beginning of 2008 and the data taking started in Summer 2008. In five years of data taking, the experiment is expected to collect about 10 to 15 ντ interactions. We discuss the performance of the detector, the event analysis flow and the physics potential as well as the preliminary results obtained in the 2008 run.
