The CP violation effects in long baseline neutrino oscillations are studied in the framework of a four-neutrino model (three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino). It is assumed that neutrino masses are devided into two nearly…

We discuss options for U.S. long baseline neutrino experiments using upgraded conventional neutrino beams, assuming $L/E_\nu$ is chosen to be near the peak of the leading oscillation. We find that for L = 1290 km (FNAL-Homestake) or 1770 km…
