Future Neutrino Oscillation Sensitivities for LBNE
Abstract
The primary goal of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) is to measure the neutrino mixing matrix parameters. The design, optimized to search for CP violation and to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy, includes a large O(10 kt) Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) at 1300 km downstream of a wide-band neutrino beam. A brief introduction to the neutrino mixing parameters will be followed by a discussion of sensitivity study analysis methods and a summary of the results for LBNE. The studies include comparisons with the Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) and NuMI Off-axis electron-neutrino Appearance (NO) experiments as well as combined sensitivities. Finally, the impact of including a realistic set of systematic uncertainties will be presented.
