The sensitivity of the present CNGS beam to the sub-dominant ν μ ↔ νe oscillations in the region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino experiments is investigated. In particular, we present a revised analysis of the OPERA detector and discuss the sensitivity to θ13 of ICARUS and OPERA combined. We show that the CNGS beam optimized for ντ appearance will improve significantly (about a factor of 5) the current limit of CHOOZ and explore most of the region sin2 2θ13 ≃ O(10-2).

Abstract

The sensitivity of the present CNGS beam to the sub-dominant ν μ ↔ νe oscillations in the region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino experiments is investigated. In particular, we present a revised analysis of the OPERA detector and discuss the sensitivity to θ13 of ICARUS and OPERA combined. We show that the CNGS beam optimized for ντ appearance will improve significantly (about a factor of 5) the current limit of CHOOZ and explore most of the region sin2 2θ13 ≃ O(10-2).
