This combination is particularly interesting as it significantly boosts the potential of either detector, beyond simply adding their neutrino mass ordering sensitivities, by removing a degeneracy in the determination of Delta M-31(2) between the two experiments when assuming the wrong ordering. The study is based on the latest projected performances for JUNO, and on simulation tools using a full Monte Carlo approach to the KM3NeT/ORCA response with a careful assessment of its energy systematics. From this analysis, a 5 sigma determination of the neutrino mass ordering is expected after 6 years of joint data taking for any value of the oscillation parameters. This sensitivity would be achieved after only 2 years of joint data taking assuming the current global best-fit values for those parameters for normal ordering.", optnote="WOS:000767221800005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5181), last updated on Thu, 08 Sep 2022 10:29:55 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP03(2022)055", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.06293", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP03(2022)055", language="English" }
