Description

The neutrino mass hierarchy is an important unknown in our quest for building a theory beyond the Standard Model. Methods to determine it in future neutrino detectors have focused mainly on ν_e- ν_μ transition channels in long-baseline experiments. We discuss how the ν_μ - ν_μ survival rates in future atmospheric neutrino experiments can be used to probe this important parameter.
