摘要: Abstract We discuss in a systematic way the extraction of neutrino masses, mixing angles and leptonic CP violation at factories. Compared to previous studies we put special emphasis on improved statistical methods multidimensional nature combined fits νe→νμ, ν e → μ appearance νμ→νμ, disappearance channels. Uncertainties all involved parameters errors are included. find previously ignored correlations parameter space, leading modifications physics reach, which amount some cases one order magnitude. Including proper determine for sensitivity limits various baselines, beam energies, fluxes detector masses. Our results allow comparison potential different choices baseline energy with regard parameters. In addition more detail problem degeneracies measurements of δCP.
