Physics potential of the Fermilab NuMI beamline

Physics potential of the Fermilab NuMI beamline We explore the physics potential of the NuMI beamline with a detector located 10 km off axis at a distant site (810 km). We study the sensitivity to sin ⁡ 2 2 θ 13 and to the C P -violating parameter sin ⁡ δ as well as the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy by exploiting the ν μ → ν e and ν ¯ μ → ν ¯ e appearance channels. The results are illustrated for three different experimental setups to quantify the benefits of increased detector sizes, proton luminosities, and ν e detection efficiencies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review D American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

We explore the physics potential of the NuMI beamline with a detector located 10 km off axis at a distant site (810 km). We study the sensitivity to sin ⁡ 2 2 θ 13 and to the C P -violating parameter sin ⁡ δ as well as the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy by exploiting the ν μ → ν e and ν ¯ μ → ν ¯ e appearance channels. The results are illustrated for three different experimental setups to quantify the benefits of increased detector sizes, proton luminosities, and ν e detection efficiencies.
