Window on physics at high mass scales, physics of flavor, and unification: Why are neutrino masses so small? Why are the mixing angles large, maximal, and small? Is there CP violation, T violation, or CPT violation in the lepton sector? Is there a connection between the lepton and the baryon sector?

23 NWG Presentation Heeger, Freedman, Kadel, Luk LBNL, April 11, 2003 Conclusions: Reactor Measurement of  13  Measurement of fundamental neutrino mixing angle with discovery opportunity and long-term impact. Reactor experiment gives clean measurement of sin 2 2  13, with sensitivity of sin 2 2  13 < 0.005 comparable to next-generation accelerator experiments. Reactor  13 experiment is a medium-size project. Suitable for Berkeley, natural continuation of current program.  A timely  13 measurement will define the future of accelerator physics. Reactor experiments cannot replace superbeams. Accelerator experiments needed for determination of mass hierarchy and  CP. Helps to resolve correlations and parameter degeneracies, important for determining the true values of sin 2 2  13 and  CP. http://theta13.lbl.gov/
