Solving the neutrino parameter degeneracy by measuring the T2K off-axis beam in Korea
read the original abstract
The T2K neutrino oscillation experiment will start in 2009. In this experiment the center of the neutrino beam from J-PARC at Tokai village will go through underground beneath Super-Kamiokande, reach the sea level east of Korean shore, and an off-axis beam at $0.5^{\circ}$ to $1.0^{\circ}$ can be observed in Korea. We study physics impacts of putting a 100 kt-level Water \cerenkov detector in Korea during the T2K experimental period. For a combination of the $3^{\circ}$ off-axis beam at SK with baseline length L = 295 km and the $0.5^{\circ}$ off-axis beam in the east coast of Korea at L = 1000 km, we find that the neutrino mass hierarchy (the sign of $m^2_{3} - m^2_1$) can be resolved and the CP phase of the MNS unitary matrix can be constrained uniquely at 3-$\sigma$ level when \sin^2 2\theta_{\rm rct} $ \ge 0.06 $.

Neutrino oscillations at dual baselines
A new correlation-exploiting parameter is introduced for dual-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to aid determination of mass hierarchy and CP phase, analyzed in the T2HKK context.
