Abstract
The OPERA experiment, located in hall C of the Gran Sasso underground laboratory, has been designed to detect the direct appearance of ντ in a pure νμ beam (CNGS) produced at CERN, travelling over a distance of 730 km. Taus produced in ντ charged current interactions are identified by reconstructing their decay path, using the nuclear emulsion technique. After a short introduction on physical motivations, the OPERA detector will be described. The event analysis chain will be explained, and first physics results presented.
