Future Neutrino Oscillation Parameter Sensitivities for T2K and NO$\nu$A

ORAL

Abstract

Long-baseline neutrino experiments have the ability to measure the parameters of the mixing matrix that describes neutrino oscillations. Projecting the sensitivity of current and future experiments to these parameters plays a critical role in planning the next generation of experiments. After a brief introduction neutrino oscillations preliminary future sensitivity projections from a combined analysis for the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) and NuMI Off-Axis Electron-neutrino Appearance (NO$\nu$A) experiments will be discussed with particular emphasis on the methods used and the ability of these experiments to constrain the oscillation parameters, detect Charge-Parity (CP) violation, and determine the neutrino mass hierarchy.
