The European Spallation Source neutrino Super Beam (ESSnuSB) is a design study for a long-
baseline neutrino experiment to measure the CP violation in the leptonic sector at the second
neutrino oscillation maximum using a neutrino beam driven by the uniquely powerful ESS linear
accelerator. The reduced impact of systematic errors on sensitivity at the second maximum allows
for a very precise measurement of the CP violating parameter. The ESSnuSB CDR showed that
after 10 years of data taking, more than 70% of the possible CP-violating phase, 𝛿CP, range will
be covered with 5𝜎 C.L. to reject the no-CP-violation hypothesis. The expected value of 𝛿CP
precision is smaller than 8◦ for all 𝛿CP values, making it the most precise proposed experiment
in the field by a large margin. The recently started extension project, the ESSnuSB+, aims
in designing two new facilities, a Low Energy nuSTORM (LEnuSTORM) and a Low Energy
Monitored Neutrino Beam (LEMNB) to use them to precisely measure the neutrino-nucleus
cross-section (the dominant term of the systematic uncertainty) in the energy range of 0.2 – 0.6
GeV.
