Jhfnu (phase i) Neutrino Oscillation Experiment

The JHF-Kamioka neutrino experiment is a next-generation long baseline oscillation experiment to explore the physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment will use high intensity proton beam from the JHF 50 GeV proton synchrotron, and Super-Kamiokande as a far detector. The baseline length is 295 km. High intensity neutrino beam is produced in an off-axis configuration. The peak neutrino energy is tuned to the oscillation maximum. The experiment aims to discover ν_μ → ν_e at Δm² 3 × 10^-3eV² down to sin²2θ₁₃ 0.006, to measure oscillation parameters in ν_μ disappearance down to δ (Δ m₂₃² ) = 10^{ - 4} eV² and δ(sin² 2θ₂₃) = 0.01, and to search for a sterile component in v_μ disappearance by detecting neutral current events.
