Abstract

The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) will host a 50 kt magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL@INO) for the study of atmospheric neutrinos. Using the detector resolutions and efficiencies obtained by the INO collaboration from a full-detector GEANT4-based simulation, we determine the reach of this experiment for the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino mixing parameters (sin2θ23\sin^2 \theta_{23} and Δm322|\Delta m_{32}^2 |). We also explore the sensitivity of this experiment to the deviation of θ23\theta_{23} from maximal mixing, and its octant.
