Simulations of neutrino oscillations with a high-energy beta beam from CERN to LENA at Pyhasalmi Mine

Abstract

I consider a high-Q beta beam peaking at multi-GeV energy for the baseline CERN-Pyhäsalmi, with the length of 2288 km, using LENA, a 50 kton liquid scintillator as the far detector. The beta beam is assumed to be accompanied by a conventional wide band beam of 1--6 GeV. This combination turns out to be very powerful to measure neutrino parameters if ${\sin }^{2}2{\theta }_{13}\sim (\mathrm{1...3})\cdot 10^{-3}$.
