Physics reach of the ESSnuSB experiment

Abstract

ESSnuSB is a unique future proposed long-baseline experiment in Sweden to study neutrino oscillation by probing the second oscillation maximum. In this proceeding, we update the flux and efficiencies and re-calculate the sensitivity of ESSnuSB in the standard three flavour scenario. We find that it has excellent sensitivity to the Dirac CP phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$, moderate sensitivity to the mass hierarchy of the neutrinos and limited sensitivity to measure the octant of the atmospheric mixing angle $\theta_{23}$. We also find that it has a very good sensitivity to constrain the atmospheric mass squared difference $|\Delta m^2_{31}|$.
