We have carefully examined, in both analytical and numerical ways, how small the terrestrial matter effects can be in a given medium-baseline reactor antineutrino oscillation experiment like JUNO or RENO-50. Taking the ongoing JUNO experiment for example, we show that the inclusion of terrestrial matter effects may reduce the sensitivity of the neutrino mass ordering measurement by \Delta \chi^2_{\rm MO} \simeq 0.6, and a neglect of such effects may shift the best-fit values of the flavor mixing angle \theta_{12} and the neutrino mass-squared difference \Delta_{21} by about 1\sigma to 2\sigma in the future data analysis. In addition, a preliminary estimate indicates that a 2\sigma sensitivity of establishing the terrestrial matter effects can be achieved for about 10 years of data taking at JUNO with the help of a proper near detector implementation.

  1. Towards a detection of reactor $\overline{\nu}^{}_e \to \overline{\nu}^{}_\mu$ and $\overline{\nu}^{}_e \to \overline{\nu}^{}_\tau$ oscillations with possible CP violation

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A proof-of-concept study shows that elastic antineutrino-electron scattering at JUNO could in principle detect reactor appearance and probe CP violation, but the CP signal is tiny.

  2. Enhancing the sensitivity to neutrino oscillation parameters using synergy between T2K, NO$\nu$A and JUNO

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulated JUNO data can break the NOvA hierarchy–CP degeneracy, and whether the T2K–NOvA tension persists depends on the true mass ordering: it disappears if the ordering is inverted and survives if normal.
