I discuss why and how powerful is the two-detector setting in neutrino oscillation experiments. I cover three concrete examples: (1) reactor θ13 experiments, (2) T2KK, Tokai-to-Kamioka-Korea two-detector complex for measuring CP violation, determining the neutrino mass hierarchy, and resolving the eight-fold parameter degeneracy, (3) two-detector setting in a neutrino factory at baselines 3000 km and 7000 km for detecting effects of non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos.

I discuss some aspects of future prospects of the experimental exploration of the unknowns in the neutrino mass pattern and the lepton flavor mixing. I start from measuring θ13 by reactors and accelerators as a prerequisite for proceeding to search for leptonic CP violation. I then discuss how CP violation can be uncovered, and how the neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined. I do these by resolving so called the "parameter degeneracy" which is required anyway if one wants to seek precision measurement of the lepton mixing parameters. As a concrete setting for resolving the degeneracy I use the Tokai-to-Kamioka-Korea two detector complex which receives neutrino superbeam from J-PARC, which is sometimes called as "T2KK". It is shown that T2KK is able to resolve all the eight-fold parameter degeneracy in a wide range of the lepton mixing parameters. Some alternative ways of measuring the unknowns are also briefly mentioned.

We show that the neutrino mass matrix of the Zee-Babu model isable to fit the recent data on neutrino masses and mixingwith non-zero $\theta_{13}$ in the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. The results show that the Majorana  phases are equal to zero and the Dirac phase ($\de$) ispredicted to either $0$ or $\pi$, i. e, there is no CP violation in the Zee-Babu model at the two loop level. The effective mass governingneutrinoless double beta decay and the sum of neutrino masses areconsistent with the recent analysis.

With the recent measurement of reactor mixing angleθ13the knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters has improved significantly except the CP violating phaseδCP, mass hierarchy, and the octant of the atmospheric mixing angleθ23. Many dedicated experiments are proposed to determine these parameters which may take at least 10 years from now to become operational. It is therefore very crucial to use the results from the existing experiments to see whether we can get even partial answers to these questions. In this paper we study the discovery potential of the ongoing NOνA and T2K experiments as well as the forthcoming T2HK experiment in addressing these questions. In particular, we evaluate the sensitivity of NOνA to determine neutrino mass hierarchy, octant degeneracy, andδCPafter running for its scheduled period of 3 years in neutrino mode and 3 years in antineutrino mode. We then extend the analysis to understand the discovery potential if the experiments will run for (5ν+5ν¯) years and (7ν+3ν¯) years. We also show how the sensitivity improves when we combine the data from NOνA, T2K, and T2HK experiments with different combinations of run period. The CP violation sensitivity is marginal for T2K and NOνA experiments even for ten-year data taking of NOνA. T2HK has a significance above5σfor a fraction of two-fifths values of theδCPspace. We also find thatδCPcan be determined to be better than 35°, 21°, and 9° for all values ofδCPfor T2K, NOνA, and T2HK respectively.

Uncertainties related to the effect of neutrino coherent forward scattering in Earth’s matter (MSW mechanism) and with the cross-sections of quasi-elastic (QE) neutrino scattering on nuclear targets of the NO[Formula: see text]A detectors are studied. The NO[Formula: see text]A sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy and the CP violating phase is discussed.
