Abstract:Measuring the neutrino mixing parameter sin2θ13 to the sub-percent precision level could be necessary in the next ten years for the precision unitary test of the PMNS matrix. In this work, we discuss the possibility of such a measurement with reactor antineutrinos. We find that a single liquid scintillator detector on a reasonable scale could achieve the goal. We propose to install a detector of ∼ 10% energy resolution at about 2.0 km from the reactors with a JUNO-like overburden. The integrated luminosity req… Show more
