Abstract

A large value of θ13, as recently observed by reactor and accelerator experiments, is a major opportunity for precision neutrino physics. In this paper we discuss implications for Superbeams at medium baselines. In particular, we emphasize the impact on the determination of mass hierarchy for experiments that exploit matter effects. We demonstrate that unlike mass hierarchy, the measurement of the CP phase remains a major experimental challenge: the study of CP violation in the leptonic sector will require MW class proton drivers even with massive far detectors in the O(1000 km) baseline range
