The angle $\\theta_{13}$ among them is expected to be measured in near future by long baseline accelerator experiments and reactor experiments. In this paper, a realistic idea of high sensitivity reactor measurement of $\\sin^22\\theta_{13}$ is described. This experiment uses a giant nuclear power plant as the neutrino source and three identical detectors are used to cancel detector and neutrino flux uncertainties. The sensitivity reach on $\\sin^22\\theta_{13}$ is $0.017\\sim0.026$ at $\\Delta m^2_{13} \\sim 3 \\times 10^{-3}eV^2$, which is five to seven times better than the current upper limit measured by CHOOZ.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-12T13:32:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "precise measurement", "japanese reactors", "giant nuclear power plant", "high sensitivity reactor measurement", "long baseline accelerator experiments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 620995 } } }
