Physics goals • Neutrino mass hierarchy • Investigate new physics in the neutrino sector • Other goals Mena, Parke, Phys. Rev. D 69 (2004) 117301 • Establish (bounds on) CP violation in the lepton sector
• CP violation mainly through interference • Requires similar amplitude of different frequency oscillations • Atmospheric • Solar Coloma, Fernandez Martinez, JHEP 1204 (2012) 089
