  • Expected oscillation with solar terms (2)In addition, we may have non-zero q13. s22q12=0.825 Dm212=8.310-5 Dm223=2.510-3(always assumed later in this talk)

  • The present Monte Carlo study suggests that the future atmospheric neutrino experiments with very high statistics will be very interesting, if q13 is large enough.For large q13, atmospheric neutrino experiments with > 2 Mtonyr exposure will; discriminate the mass hierarchy discriminate between q23 >p/4 and
