NOVA CP phase δ Perspectives Perspectives
Is CP violated “strongly” in neutrino oscillation ? Is the source of the violation due to complex phase associated with 3 generations ? Only 3 generations for leptons ? Sterile neutrinos ? Unitary triangle and physics beyond the standard model
High power accelerator and huge detector needed Asymmetry of neutrino and anti-neutrino induced by interaction in matter is large
