CERN had an experiment with Gran Sasso to try and find neutrinos. When they used their proton beam they said that since the earth is at a curvature between the two labs, the proton will be fired from one end and will travel underground and then come out when the earth curves on the other end. They managed to find five neutrinos in five years. The protons decayed and produced neutrinos, which have a very low probability to react with any matter. How did CERN manage to succeed with the experiment? The main component of it was measuring the curvature of the earth and shooting the proton using it? What is an explanation for this?

They were really just drilling under a mountain range for fun? They didn't think to find a nice, smooth valley?

I can't comment on your specific instance, but they "steer" the beam using magnetic fields. Would provide the ability to modify the course of the particles if necessary.

That was an interesting experiment. CERN sent neutrinos through 732 kilometres of solid rock to San Grasso, in Italy, in an effort to ascertain whether any would decay during the trip, transforming from muon neutrinos into tau neutrinos.
They would definitely have had to create very accurate three dimensional coordinates to, first aim the neutrino beam, then position the detector 732 kilometres away such that it would intercept the beam.
The neutrinos were created at CERN, then sent in a beam that was first filtered by a block of graphite and metal 18 metres thick, which absorbed the protons as well as the pions and kaons. The remaining neutrinos, which passed through the filtering block, travelled through the 732 kilometres of earth to the detector at Gran Sasso.
