Analysis of a Proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiment

ORAL

Abstract

The Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment Study aims to find the best configuration for a second generation, accelerator-based neutrino experiment. One possible arrangement would use a baseline of 1300km, running from FNAL to the Homestake mine. Using a large water Cherenkov detector and a powerful beam, it will contribute to improved measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters. This talk will focus on the experiment's sensitivity to the currently unknown mixing angle, $\theta_{13}$, and CP violation phase, $\delta_{CP}$, calculated using the GLoBES software.
