Abstract
We consider a Super--like experimental configuration based on the use of two detectors in a long-baseline experiment as . We take the far detector as in the present proposal and add a second detector at a shorter baseline. The location of the second off-axis detector is chosen such that the ratio is the same for both detectors, being the baseline and the neutrino energy. We consider liquid argon and water-Čerenkov techniques for the second off-axis detector and study, for different experimental setups, the detector mass required for the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, for different values of . We also study the capabilities of such an experimental setup for determining -violation in the neutrino sector. Our results show that by adding a second off-axis detector a remarkable enhancement on the capabilities of the current experiment could be achieved.
