Sensitivities of Future Long Baseline Experiments in the US

TL;DR

This paper evaluates the potential of future long baseline neutrino experiments in the US to measure key oscillation parameters, comparing different experimental setups and detector technologies.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of sensitivities for observing $ heta_{13}$, CP violation, and mass hierarchy across various experimental configurations.

Findings

Certain experimental setups show higher sensitivity to $ heta_{13}$.

Liquid Argon detectors outperform water Cherenkov detectors in some measurements.

Optimal neutrino beam configurations depend on the specific parameter being measured.

Abstract

Sensitivities to neutrino oscillation parameters for possible very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are discussed. The reach for observing a non-zero mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, establishing CP violation and determining the mass hierarchy are compared between various experimental options. Different possibilities for neutrino beams are briefly described, as well as the assumptions about the performance of a large water Cherenkov and liquid Argon detector.
