Abstract

We presented a detailed quantitative discussion of the measurement of the leptonic mixing angle θ13 through currently scheduled reactor neutrino oscillation experiments. We focussed on Double Chooz (Phase I & II), Daya Bay (Phase I & II) and RENO experiments. We performed a unified analysis, including systematics, backgrounds and accurate experimental setup in each case. Each identified systematical uncertainty and background impact has been assessed on experimental setups following published data when available and extrapolating from Double Chooz acquired knowledge otherwise. We sum up, here, a new common analysis of their sensitivities to sin2(2θ13) and study the impact of the different systematics based on the pulls approach. Through this generic statistical analysis we discuss the advantages and drawbacks of each experimental setup.
