Zooming in on neutrino oscillations with DUNE

Understand

We examine the capabilities of the DUNE experiment as a probe of the neutrino mixing paradigm.

• Taking the current status of neutrino oscillations and the design specifications of DUNE, we determine the experiment's potential to probe the structure of neutrino mixing and CP violation.
• We focus on the poorly determined parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $\delta_{CP}$ and consider both two and seven years of run.
• We take various benchmarks as our true values, such as the current preferred values of $\theta_{23}$ and $\delta_{CP}$, as well as several theory-motivated choices.
