Description

The determination of the neutrino Mass Hierarchy (MH) is one of the main goals of the major current and future neutrino experiments. The analysis usually proceeds from the $\Delta\chi^2$ estimator. This estimator may show several draw-backs and concerns, together with a debatable strategy.
The author will discuss the needs for a clear strategy as well as the related sensitivity evaluation.
The issues on the MH determination from the reactor experiments will be further illustrated, starting from the limited power of the $\Delta\chi^2$.
