Introduction
Reactor Experimentscan determine the Neutrino Mass Hierarchy .
The sensitivity is studied for determining the Mass Hierarchy
is measured.
・Can determine MH independently from CP phase and matter effects
・ free and well-studied source of neutrino
Advantages of reactor neutrino experiment

NH is true: tends to be Positive.
IH is true: tends to be Negative.
IH is rejectedNH is rejected
NH is true case

IH is true
Interpretation of
When we perform many pseudo-experiments, the
approximately follows a Normal distribution.

NH is true
NH is true
When we perform an experiment and get a ,
we reject the IH assumptionwith the confidence of ( 1 – p ).

There are studies based on Bayesian approach.
This is a frequentist approach to interpret .

SummaryWe have discussed the sensitivity
of RENO50-like Experiment for MH determination.
With 16.5GW 10kton,
a < 3% (2%)
b < 0.5% (1%) of Energy Resolution is requiredfor > 80% probability of > 2-sigma (3-sigma)determination within 5 years.
Interference among reactor sites and reactor cores significantly affects the sensitivity.
