  2. Next goals of LBL experiments • Establish 3 flavor framework (or find something new) • Discovery of ne appearance (q13>0?) • At the same Dm2 as nm disapp. Firm evidence of 3gen. mix. • Open possibility to search for CPV • Confirmation of nmnt • Appearance • NC measurement • Precision measurements of ocs. params. • Dm23,q23/Dm13,q13 • Test exotic models (decay, extra dimensions,….) • Sign of Dm2 • Search for CPV in lepton sector • Give hint on Matter/Anti-matter asymmetry in the universe

Decay Pipe Focusing Devices Proton Beam Target m nm p,K Beam Dump • Pure nm beam (≳99%) • ne (≲1%) from pme chain and K decay(Ke3) • nm/nm can be switched by flipping polarity of focusing device What’s super muon-neutrino beam? “Conventional” neutrino beam production with MW-class proton beam For high precision LBL experiments

  4. “Super beam LBL experiments”≈ “2nd generation LBL experiments w/ high intensity conventional beam” • High statistics • Beam intensity ≲100kW  ≳MW (super beam) • AND/OR detector mass ~10kt  100~1,000kt • Designed and optimized after the knowledge of Super-Kamiokande/K2K results • Primary goal: ne app.  CPV, sign of Dm2 • Japan: JHF(off-axis)SK/HK • FNAL: Off-axis NuMI, Proton driver upgrade, • BNL: Super AGS(off-axis)? • CERN: SPLFurejus, Off-axis CNGS

  6. Key for ne appearance experiment • High statistics • Small background contamination (beam) • intrinsic ne short decay pipe,… • off-axis, … less high energy tail  less inelastic • Background rejection (beam+detector) • event topology (e⇔p0) • narrow spectrum beam w/ neutrino energy reconstruction  additional kinematical constraint • Small systematic error on background estimation • near/far spectrum difference • cross section • detector response
