The Physics Potential of Future Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

We discuss in detail different future long baseline neutrino oscillation setups and we show the remarkable potential for very precise measurements of mass splittings and mixing angles. Furthermore it will be possible to make precise tests of coherent forward scattering and MSW effects, which allow to determine the sign of ∆m. Finally strong limits or measurements of leptonic CP violation will b...

A Comparison of the Physics Potential of Future Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments ∗

We compare the generic physics potential of various combinations of conventional Wide Band or Neutrino Factory Beams with different detectors to determine several oscillation parameters in long baseline experiments. For each combination of beam and detector we show the precision which can be obtained for the leading oscillation parameters ∆m 31 and sin 2θ23. Furthermore we show the sensitivity ...

Physics potential of future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments with KEK-JAERI HIPA

We study physics potential of Very Long Base-Line (VLBL) Neutrino-Oscillation Experiments with the High Intensity Proton Accelerator, which will be completed by the year 2007 in Tokai-village, Japan. As a target, a 100 kton-level water-Čerenkov detector is considered at 2,100 km away. Assuming the pulsed narrow-band νμ beams, we study sensitivity of such experiments to the neutrino mass hierarc...

Long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments

In the last decade, the study of flavor oscillations with neutrino long baseline experiments has been an extremely effective way to get information on the mass (up to an unknown scale) and the mixing between weak and mass neutrino eigenstates. In particular, accelerator driven experiments have determined precisely the so-called 2-3 sector and are beginning to tackle the 1-3 sector. Within a dec...
