Summary  • We  study  the  sensi;vity  of  a  future  medium  baseline  reactor  neutrino  experiment  for  MH  determina;on.  

•  For  20  GW  5kton  5  years  exposure,  

–   op;mal  baseline  length  ~  50  km  

–   <  3%  sta;s;cal  &  <  1%  systema;c  errors  of              Energy  Resolu;on  is  required  

–   0.5%  level  of  accuracy  for  Neutrino  Parameters    

13  

*  This  study  gives  the  minimum  requirement  for  the  energy  resolu;on.    *  More  realis;c  study  is  very  sensi;ve  to  the  environment,  such  as  distribu;on  of  reactors        within  ~100  km  from  the  far  detector  (J.Evslin  et.al,  arXiv:1209.2227).

Introduc;on  

•  DayaBay  and  RENO  observed  large  •  There  is  a  possibility  that  neutrino  mass  hierarchy  is  determined  by  observing  reactor  neutrino  oscilla;on  at                        km  away  

•  In  this  talk,  I  discuss  the  sensi;vity  of  the  future  medium  baseline  reactor  experiments  for  determining  mass  hierarchy

Mass  Hierarchy    

19  

If  we  assume  there  are  3  types  of  netrinos,  there  are  6  possible  mass  hierarchies.  

We  know    

There  are  two  possibili;es  leM,  NH  and  IH.  

Which  one  is  realized  in  Nature?  

Long  standing  and  big  ISSUE.

Analysis  method

We  calculate  the  neutrino  energy  distribu;on  for  NH  or  IH,    

Energy  Resolu;on  smearing  (Gaussian)  

We  then  perform  the  standard                    analysis  to  this  “data”  (next  slide).
