θ23 Octant sensitivity in presence of light sterile and active ν and ν¯ oscillations using beamline experiments
We examine the octant sensitivity of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments in view of light sterile neutrino flavors with masses in the 1 eV range. Considering the active-sterile mixing, we explore the possible preferred running modes either neutrino or anti-neutrino for a long-baseline...

| Summary: | We examine the octant sensitivity of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments in view of light sterile neutrino flavors with masses in the 1 eV range. Considering the active-sterile mixing, we explore the possible preferred running modes either neutrino or anti-neutrino for a long-baseline experiment to avoid the octant degeneracy and will show the θ23 sensitivity for different values of active and sterile neutrino phase angles. We simulated different Long baseline experiments for the different possible combinations of mixing angles and phases and will show whether an experiment can probe the right octant in presence of sterile neutrino by choosing the suitable beam either in neutrino or antineutrino running mode. |
