Title: "Physics reach of a very long baseline neutrino 
oscillation experiment using a wide band beam"

Abstract:
In recent years, much interest has arisen in the neutrino mixing 
angle theta_13. An observation of a non-zero value will open the 
path to test cp violation in the leptonic sector and determine the 
mass hierarchy. One of the most promising proposals uses an intense 
conventional wideband muon neutrino beam combined with a massive 
detector. Much progress has been made during the past year under 
the joint BNL/Fermilab U.S. Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment Study. 
This talk will focus on the sensitivity studies for measuring the 
mixing angle theta_13, the CP violating phase and determination of 
the mass hierarchy using the results from this study. Comparisons 
will be made with other planned and proposed experiments.
