Prospects to Measure Neutrino Oscillation Pattern with Very
Large Area Underground Detector at Very Long Baselines
The concept of very long baseline neutrino experiment wih quasi
monochromatic neutrino beams and very large area underground detector
is discussed. The detector could be placed at the existing 20 km
tunnel at IHEP, Protvino. The High Intensity Proton Accelerators which
are planned to be built in Japan (JAERI-KEK) and Germany (GSI) as well
as Main Injector at Fermilab are considered as posssible sources of
neutrino beams. In the proposed experiment it is feasible to observe
and to measure the oscillation pattern as an unique proof of the
existence of neutrino oscillations. Precise measurements of
disappearance oscillation parameters of the muon neutrinos and
antineutrinos can be done within a reasonable time.
