Abstract In the context of three-neutrino oscillations, we study the possibility of using antineutrinos from nuclear reactors to explore the 10−4 eV2 ν e oscillations in vacuum, we show that the optimal baseline of such an experiment is L∼(20–25) km. Furthermore, for 10−4 eV2 ν e +p→e + +n .

• Neutrino Mass Ordering from Oscillations and Beyond: 2018 Status and Future Prospects (2018, background): “…perspectives from the neutrinoless double beta decay (see e.g., the reviews Gomez-Cadenas et al., 2012; Dell’Oro et al., 2016 and also Pascoli and Petcov (2002)), a process allowed only if neutrinos are Majorana particles (Schechter and Valle, 1982), since it requires the lepton number to be…”

The reactor experiments JUNO and RENO50, with baseline ˘50 km, will approach the mass hierarchy measurement by using the interference eects between the two oscillation frequencies [133, 134]. Determination of mass hierarchy in such setups require a very good knowledge of the shape”
