Sensitivity Study with Theia Detector — •Wei-Chieh Lee, Caren Hagner, and Björn Wonsak — Institut für Experimentalphysik, Universität Hamburg, 22761 Hamburg, Germany

With new technologies exploiting the advantages of both the Cherenkov and scintillation lights, a new type of neutrino detector, Theia, is able to determine the direction and species of incoming particles while still having a good energy resolution and low threshold. In consequence, Its ability to reach high levels of background rejection would allow us to improve the precision in the measurement of oscillation parameters when employed at a long baseline neutrino experiment. For this, the realization of Theia is planned at the far site of DUNE, whose near detector also provides information to further improve the measurement of neutrino oscillation. In this experiment, Theia can have enough sensitivity to the determination of mass hierarchy and CP phase of neutrino oscillation, the two missing pieces of our knowledge in the topic. In order to simulate such experiments, a software tool called GLoBES is developed for describing the detector properties and doing analysis easily, and is used in this sensitivity study.
