Optimization of the Two-Baseline Beta-Beam
Abstract
We propose a -Beam experiment with four source ions and two baselines for the best possible sensitivity to , CP violation and mass hierarchy. Neutrinos from Ne and He with Lorentz boost are detected in a 500 kton water \chr detector at a distance L=650 km from the source. Neutrinos from B and Li are detected in a 50 kton magnetized iron detector at a distance L=7000 km from the source. Since a tilt angle is required to send the beam to the magic baseline, the far end of the ring has a maximum depth of m. We alleviate this problem by proposing to trade reduction of the decay ring with the increase in the boost factor of the Li and B ions up to and , such that the number of events at the detector remains almost the same. We study the sensitivity reach of this two-baseline two-storage ring -Beam experiment, and compare it with the corresponding reach of the other proposed facilities.
