   Superbeams are thus a technological extrapolation of conventional beams, with a proton beam intensity close to the mechanical stability limit of the target at a typical thermal power of 0.7 MW to MW.

   Alternatively, having detectors at two different on-axis distances from the same superbeam can provide multiple measurements that help to remove parameter degeneracies.
