Abstract

Considering the recently obtained value of θ13\theta_{13} from Daya Bay and other reactor experiments we have studied the prospects of considering mono-energetic neutrino beam in studying CPCP violation in the leptonic sector. Using a neutrino beam from electron capture process for nuclei 50110^{110}_{50}Sn and 152^{152}Yb and considering two baselines - 130 Km and 250 Km with Water Cherenkov detector, we have shown the discovery reach of CPCP violation in neutrino oscillation experiment. Particularly for 50110^{110}_{50}Sn nuclei CPCP violation could be found for about 80% of the possible δ\delta values for a baseline of 130 km with boost factor γ=500\gamma = 500. This result is obtained with conservative choice of neutrino energy resolution using the possible vertex resolution at the detector and taking into account beam spreading. The nuclei 152^{152}Yb is although more suitable technically for the production of mono-energetic beam, but is found to be not so suitable for good discovery reach of CPCP violation.
