Descripción
This study is being performed in collaboration with E. Lisi (INFN, Bari, Italy) and F. Capozzi (U. of Bari, Italy). The low-energy IceCube extension experiment, PINGU, will allow to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy and the \theta_23 octant. We perform a prospective analysis of PINGU data in a three neutrino oscillation framework, by varying all relevant neutrino oscillation parameters and taking into account the main sources of systematic errors. We also introduce a continuous parameter \alpha, which interpolates between normal hierarchy (\alpha=+1) and inverted hierarchy (\alpha=-1). We show that with 5 years of data taking, both the hierarchy and the theta_23 octant can be discriminated at about 3\sigma.
