Description
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are sensitive to the parameters governing nu_1-nu_3 and nu_2-nu_3 mixing, including the neutrino mass ordering and a potentially CP violating phase in the PMNS matrix. These measurements are of particular interest because observation of CP violation in the lepton sector could be an important step in understanding the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the universe, and precise knowledge of oscillation parameters will contribute to understanding if there are new symmetries in the neutrino sector, whether there is a relationship between the generational structure of quarks and leptons, and whether the three-neutrino picture of neutrino oscillation is complete. In this presentation, status, plans, and outlook for current and future long-baseline oscillation experiments will be surveyed, with a focus on complementarity and expected sensitivity. Other physics topics accessible with long-baseline neutrino experiments will also be briefly discussed.
