Abstract
The MEMPHYS experiment based on a Water Cherenkov detector is one option currently under study in the European FP7 program. The experiment is proposed at a distance of 130 km from CERN under the Fŕejus mountain. It is dedicated to nucleon decay, neutrinos from supernovæ, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as neutrinos from a future Super-Beam from CERN to measure the CP violating phase δ. A small-scale prototype, MEMPHYNO, has been constructed as a test bench for new photo detection, data acquisition and electronics solutions.
