摘要
Recent exciting results have shown that neutrinos oscillate between their weak eigenstates and thus must not only be massive but their mass and flavor eigenstates do no coincide. This has opened a whole new area of experimental physics where one strives to precisely measure the mixing parameters, search for potential CP symmetry violation in the lepton sector and understand secondary effects, such as how the oscillations are affected when the neutrinos pass through matter. It is possible to measure all of the oscillation parameters in a single experiment by employing a 1-MW wide-band neutrino super-beam, a very long baseline of similar to 2500 km and a 500-kton massive far detector.
