Description
We performed sensitivity studies on the CP phase and mass ordering for candidate sites of a deep undersea Korea Neutrino Observatory detector. The undersea detector has its candidate sites in the East Sea of Korea and receives a neutrino beam from J-PARC. The quarter-megaton scale undersea detector at the optimal site will identify the correct mass ordering for all possible CP phase values and discover CP violation for 50% of possible CP phase values within five years of neutrino-antineutrino operation. A substantial improvement in CP violation measurement is expected with the undersea detector, compared to the underground-based Korean detector. This is due to high statistics from a relatively shorter baseline and less degeneracy in oscillation probability between different mass orderings.
