Unraveling neutrino parameters with a magical beta-beam experiment at INO Original Research Article

We expound in detail the physics reaches of an experimental set-up in which the proposed large magnetized iron detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) would serve as the far detector for a so-called beta-beam. If this pure image and/or image beam is shot from some source location like CERN such that the source-detector distance image, the impact of the CP phase image on the oscillation probability and associated parameter correlation and degeneracies are almost negligible. This “magical” beta-beam experiment would have unprecedented sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy and image, two of the missing ingredients needed for our understanding of the neutrino sector. With Lorentz boost image and irrespective of the true value of image, the neutrino mass hierarchy could be determined at 3σ C.L. if image and we can expect an unambiguous signal for image at 3σ C.L. if image independent of the true neutrino mass hierarchy.
