The density distribution in the Earth along the CERN-Pyhasalmi baseline and its effect on neutrino oscillations

Abstract

We study the beamline properties of a long baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment from CERN to the Pyhasalmi Mine in Finland. We obtain the real density profile for this particular neutrino oscillation beamline by applying the geophysical data. The effects of the matter density to neutrino oscillations are considered. Also we compare the realistic density profile with that acquired from the PREM model.
