Abstract

The LAGUNA/LBNO collaboration proposes a new generation neutrino experiment to address fundamental questions in particle and astroparticle physics. The experiment consists of a far detector, Liquid Argon (LAr) double phase Time TPC (Time Projection Chamber), the fiducial mass of the detector is set to 20 kt in its first stage. The detector will be situated at 2300 km from CERN: this long baseline provides a unique opportunity to study the neutrino flavour oscillations over the first and second oscillation maxima and to explore the L/E (Length over energy) behaviour. The near detector is based on a high-pressure argon gas TPC situated at CERN. I will detail the physics potential of this experiment for determining without ambiguity the mass hierarchy (MH) in its first stage and discovering CP violation (CPV) using the CERN SPS beam with a power of 750 kw. The impact of the assumptions on the knowledge of the oscillation parameters and the systematic errors are very important and will be shown in detail to prove the force of the experiment assuming realistic and conservative parameter values.
