摘要: In the next decade, a number of experiments will attempt to determine neutrino mass hierarchy. Feasibility studies for such generally expected value Delta chi^2. As hierarchy is discrete choice, chi^2 does not obey one degree freedom distribution and so sigmas confidence determination square root We present simple formula sensitivity that can be from median experiment as function
