(a) LBNE sensitivity to resolve the octant degeneracy. The standard configuration in 2010 has been used. The blue (green) band shows the results for 200 kt WC (34 kt LAr) and its width is obtained by varying , ranging from 10% to 90% CP fraction. In the region above the bands, the octant can be determined at 90% CL (lower bands) and (upper bands). Taken from [103]. (b) Nonmaximal discovery potential, with , as a function of , for the LBNO superbeam with 100 kton LAr, 440 kton WC and 50 kton LSc detectors. In the region enclosed by each couple of lines, cannot be ruled out at a statistical significance of 3 . Results are shown for the detector placed at Pyhäsalmi and for a true normal hierarchy. Figure taken from [107].
