Synergistic determination of neutrino oscillation parameters

Understanding neutrino properties holds the key to uncovering the true theory of elementary particles.

Discovery of the neutrino flavor oscillations was the first direct observational evidence of the existence of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics.

A series of outstanding experiments performed in the past decades have provided key insights into the nature of the neutrinos. Today neutrino physics is in its precision era. And yet, there remain fundamental questions in this field that are still to be answered.

Existence of CP violation, neutrino mass ordering and the octant of theta23 are some of the major undertermined issues in neutrino physics. A series of big, ambitious and expensive experimental proposals have been made to measure these.

Each proposal has its challenges since the questions mentioned above demand unprecedented performance from the experiments. The goal of this project is to study the physics prospects of these ambitious experimental projects. One major challenge for these experiments comes from parameter correlations and degeneracies.

These can be removed or reduced by combining data from complimentary experiments.

A major goal in this project will be hence to find synergistic combinations of these datasets such that one could achieve better sensitivity.
