Description

With the loading of Gadolinium in the Super-Kamiokande detector, the overall detection efficiency of neutrons from neutrino-nucleus interaction has greatly increased. Based on semi-tuned atmospheric neutrino event simulation, we estimate how the improved neutron detection could help identify antineutrinos from neutrinos and affect the parameter sensitivity, especially the CP phase and the neutrino mass hierarchy, in the atmospheric neutrino oscillation analysis.
