摘要
We carry out a state-of-the-art assessment of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments with wide band beams. We describe the feasibility of an experimental program using existing high-energy accelerator facilities, a new intense wide band neutrino beam (0-6 GeV) and a proposed large detector in a deep underground laboratory. We find that a decade-long program with 1 MW operation in the neutrino mode and 2 MW operation in the antineutrino mode, a baseline as long as the distance between Fermilab and the Homestake mine (1300 km) or the Henderson mine (1500 km), and a water Cherenkov detector with fiducial mass similar to 300 kT has optimum sensitivity to a nonzero theta(13), the mass hierarchy and to neutrino CP violation at the 3 sigma C. L. for sin(2)2 theta(13)> 0.008. This program is capable of breaking the eight-fold degeneracy down to the octant degeneracy without additional external input.
