Description

We study neutrino oscillations of reactor neutrinos, anti-electron neutrinos, both in the short- and medium- to long-baseline cases. THe survival and generation probabilities of the neutrinos are calculated within the three-flavor mixing model, and the dependence of the probabilities on the mass hierarchy and CP-phase is investigated. We find that the hierarchy can be determined from the different oscillation phases of electron anti-neutrinos in the medium-baseline region where the suvival probability is aroun 50%. The CP-phase, on the other hand, can be determind from the oscillation patterns of muon and tau anti-neutrinos generated.
