Neutrino oscillation parameters from MINOS, ICARUS and OPERA combined

Abstract

We perform a detailed analysis of the capabilities of the MINOS, ICARUS and OPERA experiments to measure neutrino oscillation parameters at the atmospheric scale with their data taken separately and in combination. MINOS will determine $\Delta m_{32}^2$ and ${\sin }^{2}2{\theta }_{23}$ to within 10% at the 99% C.L. with 10 kton-years of data. While no one experiment will determine ${\sin }^{2}2{\theta }_{13}$ with much precision, if its value lies in the combined sensitivity region of the three experiments, it will be possible to place a lower bound of O(0.01) at the 95% C.L. on this parameter by combining the data from the three experiments. The same bound can be placed with a combination of MINOS and ICARUS data alone.
