Abstract
A very long baseline experiment, with of m/MeV, has been proposed as the ideal means to measure , including its sign, for neutrino energies less than 50 MeV. Higher energies require consideration of the Earth MSW effect. Approximating a constant density mantle, we examine the and oscillation channels at very long baselines with particular focus upon the deviation of from maximal mixing and the sign of . It is demonstrated that measurements of these oscillation channels in this region are sensitive to , including its sign, and to , including its octant, with a significant correlation between the value of and the difference of from maximal mixing.
