Modeling realistic Earth matter density for CP violation in neutrino oscillation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We examine the effect of a more realistic Earth matter density model which takes into account of the local density variations along the baseline of a possi ble 2100 km very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Its influence to the measurement of CP violation is investigated and a comparison with the commonly used global density models made. Significant differences are found in the comparison of the results of the different density models.
