Superbeams (SB) and Neutrino Factories (NF) are not alternative facilities for exploring neutrino oscillation physics, but successive steps. The correct strategy is to contemplate the combination of their expected physics results. We show…
We discuss the optimization of a neutrino factory for large \sin^2 2 \theta_{13}, where we assume minimum effort on the accelerator side. This implies that we use low muon energies for the price of an optimized detection system. We…
We present a detailed quantitative discussion of the measurement of the leptonic mixing angle $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ with a future reactor neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a near and far detector. We perform a thorough analysis…
We study the physics potential of future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at large $\theta_{13}$, focusing especially on systematic uncertainties. We discuss superbeams, \bbeams, and neutrino factories, and for the first time…
The aim of this talk is to review near and far future long baseline neutrino experiments as superbeams, beta-Beams and neutrino factories, comparing their sensitivities to the unknown parameters in the neutrino oscillation sector. We focus…
We identify three independent two-fold parameter degeneracies (\delta, \theta_{13}), sgn(\delta m^2_{31}) and (\theta_{23}, \pi/2-\theta_{23}) inherent in the usual three-neutrino analysis of long-baseline neutrino experiments, which can…
In this paper we quantify the trade-off between setups optimized to be ancillary to Phase II Superbeams or Neutrino Factories and experiments tuned for maximal sensitivity to the subdominant terms of the neutrino transition probability at…
We compare the generic physics potential of various combinations of conventional Wide Band or Neutrino Factory Beams with different detectors to determine several oscillation parameters in long baseline experiments. For each combination of…
We perform a comparison of the different future neutrino oscillation experiments based on the achievable precision in the determination of the fundamental parameters theta_{13} and the CP phase, delta, assuming that theta_{13} is in the…
The physics potential of beta beams is investigated from low to very high gamma values and it is compared to superbeams and neutrino factories. The gamma factor and the baseline are treated as continuous variables in the optimization of the…
We examine the use of two superbeam neutrino oscillation experiments with baselines $\lsim 1000$ km to resolve parameter degeneracies inherent in the three-neutrino analysis of such experiments. We find that with appropriate choices of…
We consider the medium- and long-baseline oscillation physics capabilities of intense muon-neutrino and muon-antineutrino beams produced using future upgraded megawatt-scale high-energy proton beams. In particular we consider the potential…
The purpose of this paper is to provoke a discussion about the right next step in accelerator-based neutrino physics. In the next five years many experiments will be done to determine the neutrino mixing parameters. However, the small…
In this talk, the performance comparison among superbeams (SB), beta beams (BB), and the Neutrino Factory (NF) is discussed. The ingredients to such a comparison are described, as well as we the optimization and status of BB and NF are…
We explore as clearly as possible the features of neutrino oscillation which are relevant for measurements of the CP violating Kobayashi-Maskawa phase delta and the sign of \Delta m^2_{13}. We focus on the so called low-energy option and…
A neutrino factory is a potential successor to the upcoming generation of neutrino oscillation experiments and a possible precursor to next-generation muon colliders. Such a machine would provide a well-characterized beam of $\nu_\mu$,…
The presence of several clone solutions in the simultaneous measurement of ($\theta_{13},\delta$) has been widely discussed in literature. Here, after a pedagogical introduction on why these clones arise, we discuss how the clones location…
We have investigated the physics potential of very long baseline experiments designed to measure nu_mu to nu_e oscillation probabilities. The principles of our design are to tune the beam spectrum to the resonance energy for the matter…
We update a recent work devoted to resolve the degeneracies that appear in the simultaneous extraction of $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$ at future Neutrino Factories (NF, that exploit the \emph{golden} channels, i.e. $\nu_e\to\nu_\mu$…
I try to give an overview of future prospects of the experimental exploration of the unknowns in the neutrino mass pattern and the lepton flavor mixing. Because of the nature of the lectures on which this manuscript is based, I give some…
