Motivation for Precision
surprise!
how small?
spectrum?
Dirac and Majorana CP phases?
• neutrino masses are physics beyond the Standard Model• new window to flavour problem – see-saw amplified!• information complimentary to quarks:
M. Lindner NuFact04 3
Guessing the Neutrino Mass Spectrumquarks hierarchical masses neutrinos? large mixings!
• inversely correlated hierarchy in MR ?
• non-hierarchical, type II see-saw, .... ?
Quarks and charged leptons:
mD ~ Hn ; n = 0,1,2 H > 20 ... 200
Neutrinos: m ~ Hn 1< H < 10
See-saw:
1<H<10 >20 ? >20
m= -mDT

The Value of Precision for 13
for example: sin2213 < 0.01
physics question: small 13
numerical coincidence systematic (symmetry,...)• how small?• precision!
• models for masses & mixings• input: Known masses & mixings distribution of 13 „predictions“
• 13 often close to experimental bounds motivates new experiments 13 controls 3-flavour effects like CP-violation

running: K2K establish / test atm. osc. with beams
construction: MINOS (2005) ~ 10% for m312, 23, improve 13
CNGS: ICARUS & OPERA (2006)
approval: T2K (JHF-SK) (2008) few% for m312, 23,improve 13
LOIs: NOA (NuMI-OA) (200x) H2K (JHF-HK) (201x) % for m31
2, 23, 13, CP, sgn(m2)
long term: beams, neutrino factory, ... (201x) precision .....muon collider....
• every stage is a necessary prerequisit for the next• continuous line of improvements for beams, detectors, physics!

Beams• conventional beams / superbeams
• -beams• neutrino factories
• other: laser driven? ...?
M. Lindner NuFact04 11
Determination of the Physics Potential• select a setup (beam, detector, baseline, ...)• take „most realistic“ parameters best guess!• simulate all relevant aspects as good as possible GLoBES
• determine the potential: „true“ fitted parameters• consider other options, time, cost, improvements, ...• compare only realistic simulations discuss the reliability of the input (assumptions) think of improvements R&D in all directions until decisions must be made

• golden channel: wrong sign ‘s• silver channel : ‘s
different oscillation probabilities
break degeneracies!

• MINOS, ICARUS and OPERA- improve leading oscillation parameters; should improve sin2213 a little
• T2K, NOA and new reactor experiments- further improved leading oscillation parameters- will improve sin2213 by about one order of magnitude- with luck: sign(m2) or even CP phase
• H2K, -beams, neutrino factory- can do all unless sin2213 is extremely tiny; in any case precision -physics!
very precise 3- oscillation parameters sin2213 , sign(m2) and CP phase should be measured unique impact on model building!
R&D for -beams, neutrino factories... realistic parameters simulate & compare GLoBES http://www.ph.tum.de/~globes and hep-ph/0407xxx
