•The matter effect term in Ae
is sensitive to the sign of δm213
. In Korea (L ~1000km), this term produces the large difference between thenormal(δm2

•The correlated ambiguity beweenn sin2 θRCT
and δMNS
can be solved by the difference of the matter effect between Kamioka and Korea.

Earth matter effect Earth matter effect
Previous studies, we assume that the matter density is constant along the baseline, and the average of the density is same for all Tokai-to-Korea baseline. However...
Matter density along the baseline is not constant.Neutrinos travel through various matters.
Neutrinos go through deeper region when the baseline length becomes longer. So the matter density distribution depends on the baseline length.
We need detail studies on the “earth matter effect ” to justify the potential of T2KK experiment.

Only the cos modes affect the neutrino oscillation.The oscillation phase is not affected..δA term is sensitive to the hierarchy pattern.
Previous : ρ=3.0 g/cm3 New: Earth matter effect
•The significance to determine the hierarchy at the best point becomes lower. ←The averaged matter effect becomes small
ρ=3.0g/cm3 → 2.8g/cm3
But… We can still confirm the mass hierarchy at more than 4 σ CL!!
Capability of the mass determination
SummarySummary The lower side of the T2K beam will appear in Korea. The matter effect in T2KK experiment is key to
determine the mass hierarchy pattern and CP phase. The mean value of the density along the Tokai-to-
Korea baselines are 2.8, 2.9, and 3.0 g/cm3 for L = 1000, 1100, 1150km, respectively. The only first Fourier mode and the average matter
density are important in T2KK experiment. The best combination (SK3.0deg + Korea 0.5 deg.)
keep the enough capability to determine the hierarchy, whenever we consider the earth matter distribution along each baseline length.

Capability to determine the mass hierarchyCapability to determine the mass hierarchy
3σ: sin2 2θRCT > 0.045 (normal hierarchy) or 0.055 (inverted hierarchy)
The normal hierarchy can exclude the fake hierarchy more strongly than the inverted hierarchy. → statistical error.
Capability strongly depends on CP phase. ← Contribution of the phase shift !

Fitting CP phase is favored around 0 deg. in order to reduce the phase difference.
When the input hierarchy is normal (inverted), the fitting reactor angle is larger (smaller) than input reactor angle.
In this analysis, the statistical error is dominant. →Δχ2 is roughly proportional to detector size of the
beam flux.
•Δχ2 is proportional to the fudicial volume.
•Only Hyper?-Kamiokande can not determine the mass hierarchy.
•Constraint from the reactor experiment plays the same role of Kamioka.
•Constraint on CP phase by the Kamioka is useful.
•Optimal ratio is 1:11 ~ 2:4
