It is generally believed that neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined at a long baseline experiment, often using accelerator neutrino beams. Reactor neutrino experiments at an intermediate baseline have the capability to distinguish normal or inverted hierarchy. Recently it has been demonstrated that the mass hierarchy could possibly be identified using Fourier transform to the L/E spectrum if the mixing angle $\sin^2(2\theta_{13})>0.02$. In this study a more sensitive Fourier analysis is introduced. We found that an ideal detector at an intermediate baseline ($\sim 60$ km) could identify the mass hierarchy for a mixing angle $\sin^2(2\theta_{13}) > 0.005$, without requirements on accurate information of reactor neutrino spectra and the value of $\Delta m^2_{32}$.

  1. Exact Phenomenology of the Neutrino Cuboid: Normal Mass Ordering, the Tribimaximal Limit, and Cosmological Constraints

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Under the exact cuboid alignment ξ=θ12 and ζ=θ23, the measured solar angle and mass splittings force normal ordering, the lower atmospheric octant, and a mass sum near 0.29–0.33 eV.

  2. Disentangle RG Running Parameters with Medium-Baseline Reactor Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.5

    JUNO slow-mode data mildly prefer nonzero β_M1 (hinting Majorana neutrinos), while fast-mode RG shifts from β_D and β_M3 degrade mass-ordering sensitivity that TAO can restore.

  3. Neutrino cuboid for normal mass ordering and tribimaximal flavor mixing

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A cuboid mass ansatz that sets mass angles equal to mixing angles predicts a nearly degenerate normal spectrum whose deviations from tribimaximal mixing are fixed by the observed mass-squared ratio.

  4. Disentangle RG Running Parameters with Medium-Baseline Reactor Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    RG running beta functions of mixing parameters alter the fast oscillation mode at JUNO and can reduce mass ordering sensitivity, but measurements from the TAO near detector can restore it by constraining the running p...

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    A geometric 'flavor cuboid' ansatz conjectures that neutrino mixing angles equal mass-parametrization angles, predicting a nearly degenerate normal mass ordering and a testable correlation among mixing angles and mass...

    A charge-only maximum-likelihood reconstruction using calibration-derived nPE maps achieves ~4 cm vertex resolution and sub-1% relative energy-bias behavior for positrons in a ton-scale liquid scintillator detector.
