Systematics and Backgrounds Effect of Systematycs Effect of Background 2.5/5% and 10/20%systematic error considered 10-5and 10-4backgroundconsidered Impact of the background and the systematic errors very small Performance limited by statistics No improvement if background is lowered below 10-5
Conclusions • Strong complementarity between the two baselines • 2000km detector very sensitive to d but spoiled by sign degeneracies • 7000km detector resonant dependence on the mass hierarchy and no dependence on d solves degeneracies • With Medium flux sensitivity to q13, dand the mass hierarchy down to sin2 2q13 3·10-4 • Impact of the background and the systematic errors very small.
