Further study of neutrino oscillation with two detectors in Kamioka and Korea

Abstract

This paper updates and improves the study of electron neutrino appearance in the framework of two far detectors at different oscillation maxima, specifically, Tokai-To-Kamioka-to-Korea. We used a likelihood based on reconstructed quantities to distinguish charged current $ν_e$ interactions from neutral current background. We studied the efficiency of the likelihood for a 20% photo-coverage in comparison of a 40% photo-coverage. We used a detailed neutrino event simulation to estimate the neutral current background. With these analysis tools we studied the sensitivity of the proposed experiment to CP violation and mass hierarchy as a function of the off-axis angle.
