2540 km: Bimagic baseline for neutrino oscillation parameters

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-28 v2

Abstract

We show that a source-to-detector distance of 2540 km offers multiple advantages for a low energy neutrino factory with a detector that can identify muon charge. At this baseline, for any neutrino hierarchy, the wrong-sign muon signal is almost independent of CP violation and θ13\theta_{13} in certain energy ranges. This reduces the uncertainties due to these parameters and allows the identification of the hierarchy in a clean way. In addition, part of the muon spectrum is also sensitive to the CP violating phase and θ13\theta_{13}, so that the same setup can be used to probe these parameters as well.
