B And Li Beam fluxes We consider 3 different fluxes “Nominal” 2·10 18 decays/year “Medium” 5·10 18 decays/year “Ultimate” 10·10 18 decays/year “Ultimate” flux at 2000km

Degeneracies at 2000km true solution sign degeneracy Nominal, Medium and Ultimate fluxes Loss of sensitivity to CP violation and the mass hierarchy at the 2000km baseline due to the sign degeneracy CP discovery potential
15
Combining the two baselines Nominal, Medium and Ultimate fluxes The sign degeneracy is solved at the 7000km baseline 2000km2000km + 7000km

CP discovery potential Nominal, Medium and Ultimate fluxes The CP discovery potential with the Ultimate and Medium flux between low and high -Beam 2000km + 7000km ISS Physics Working Group arXiv:0710.4947
17
13 discovery potential Nominal, Medium and Ultimate fluxes 2000km + 7000km The Ultimate flux similar to high -Beam The Medium flux between low and high -Beam The Nominal flux similar to Super-Beams ISS Physics Working Group arXiv:0710.4947

Sensitivity to the mass hierarchy Nominal, Medium and Ultimate fluxes 2000km + 7000km All the fluxes worse than the optimum NF but better than the other facilities ISS Physics Working Group arXiv:0710.4947

Systematics and Backgrounds 2.5/5% and 10/20% systematic error considered Impact of the background and the systematic errors very small Performance limited by statistics No improvement if background is lowered below 10 -5 Effect of SystematycsEffect of Background 10 -5 and 10 -4 background considered
20
Conclusions Strong complementarity between the two baselines 2000km detector very sensitive to but spoiled by sign degeneracies 7000km detector resonant dependence on the mass hierarchy and no dependence on solves degeneracies With Medium flux sensitivity to 13 and the mass hierarchy down to sin 2 2 13 3·10 -4 Impact of the background and the systematic errors very small.
