Correlations of errors in a CP-violation neutrino factory experiment

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

An indirect CP-violation neutrino factory experiment is studied, including simul taneous correlations of errors of the six oscillation parameters and a matter ef fect normalisation parameter, C. It is found that for larger values of θ13\theta_{13} (33^\circ), an uncertainty on the matter effect of the order 5% means t hat the optimal baseline for measurement of δ\delta is reduced from 3000km to 2 000km. When the background fraction is assumed to be 10310^{-3} the optimal muon energy is also reduced from 50GeV to around 20GeV. An experiment with L=2000km, Eμ=E_\mu=20GeV is found to be sensitive to non-zero δ\delta down to around \theta130.3\t heta_{13}\approx0.3^\circ.
