“…This detector is planned to have efficient muon charge identification, high muon energy resolution (∼ 5%) and muon energy threshold of about 2 GeV. Although there are no details studies of the capabilities of such detector, its sensitivity should be comparable to that evaluated for an earlier proposal for a similar detector, MONOLITH [339]).…”

The current status and some perspectives of the phenomenology of massive neutrinos is reviewed. We start with the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter. We summarize the results of neutrino experiments using solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator neutrino beams. We update the leptonic parameters derived from the three-neutrino oscillation interpretation of this data. We describe the method and present results on our understanding of the solar and atmospheric neutrino fluxes by direct extraction from the corresponding neutrino event rates. We present some tests of different forms of new physics which induce new sources of leptonic flavor transitions in vacuum and in matter which can be performed with the present neutrino data. The aim and potential of future neutrino experiments and facilities to further advance in these fronts is also briefly summarized. Last, the implications of the LSND observations are discussed, and the status of extended models which could accommodate all flavor-mixing signals is presented in the light of the recent results from MiniBooNE.

The potential of future high statistics atmospheric neutrino experiments is considered, having in mind currently discussed huge detectors of various technologies (water Cerekov, magnetized iron, liquid Argon). I focus on the possibility to use atmospheric data to determine the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and the neutrino mass hierarchy. The sensitivity to the $\theta_{23}$-octant of atmospheric neutrinos is competitive (or even superior) to long-baseline experiments. I discuss the ideal properties of a fictitious atmospheric neutrino detector to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy

Abstract-The iron calorimeter (ICAL) detector at the Indiabased Neutrino Observatory (INO) will be used to measure neutrino mass hierarchy. The magnet in the ICAL detector will be used to distinguish the μ and μ + events induced by µ and anti-µ respectively. Due to the importance of the magnet in ICAL, an electromagnetic simulation has been carried out to study the B-field distribution in iron using various designs. The simulation shows better uniformity in the portion of the iron layer between the coils, which is bounded by regions which have lesser field strength as we move to the periphery of the iron layer. The ICAL magnet was configured to have a tiling structure that gave the minimum reluctance path while keeping a reasonably uniform field pattern. This translates into less Ampere-turns needed for generation of the required magnetic field. At low Ampere-turns, a larger fractional area with |B| ≥ 1 Tesla (T) can be obtained by using a soft magnetic material. A study of the effect of the magnetic field on muon trajectories has been carried out using GEANT4. For muons up to 20 GeV, the energy resolution improves as the magnetic field increases from 1.1 T to 1.8 T. The charge identification efficiency for muons was found to be more than 90% except for large zenith angles.
