The ORCA Option for KM3NeT

It has recently been suggested that the neutrino mass hierarchy can be experimentally determined from the oscillation pattern of atmospheric neutrinos passing through the Earth by measuring the two-dimensional arrival pattern of neutrinos in energy and zenith angle, in the energy regime of about 3-2...
