We discuss how and to what extent one can determine the neutrino mass hierarchy, normal or inverted, and at the same time uncover CP violation in the lepton sector by using two identical detectors with different baselines in neutrino…
The K2K experiment observes indications of neutrino oscillation: a reduction of $\nu_\mu$ flux together with a distortion of the energy spectrum. Fifty-six beam neutrino events are observed in Super-Kamiokande (SK), 250 km from the neutrino…
The Daya Bay and RENO experiments have recently observed a non-zero $\theta_{13}$ at more than $5\sigma$ CL. This has important consequences for future neutrino oscillation experiments. We analyze these within the LAGUNA design study which…
