Abstract

We investigate prospects of building a future accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment in China, including site selection, beam optimization and tau neutrino physics aspects. CP violation, non-unitary mixing and non-standard neutrino interactions are discussed. We simulate neutrino beam setups based on muon and beta decay techniques and compare Chinese laboratory sites by their expected sensitivities. A case study on Super Proton-Proton Collider and China JinPing Laboratory is also presented. It is shown that the muon-decay-based beam setup can measure the Dirac CP phase by about 14.2^\circ precision at 1σ\,\sigma CL, whereas non-unitarity can be probed down to αij|\alpha_{i j}| \lesssim 0.37 (ij=i \neq j = 1, 2, 3) and non-standard interactions to ϵm|\epsilon^m_{\ell \ell'}| \lesssim 0.11 (=e\ell \neq \ell' = e, μ\mu, τ\tau) at 90% CL, respectively.
