We analyze the physics potential of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments planned for the coming ten years, where the main focus is the sensitivity limit to the small mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. The discussed experiments include the conventional beam experiments MINOS, ICARUS, and OPERA, which are under construction, the planned superbeam experiments J-PARC to Super-Kamiokande and NuMI off-axis, as well as new reactor experiments with near and far detectors, represented by the Double-Chooz project. We perform a complete numerical simulation including systematics, correlations, and degeneracies on an equal footing for all experiments using the GLoBES software. After discussing the improvement of our knowledge on the atmospheric parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m^2_{31}$ by these experiments, we investigate the potential to determine $\theta_{13}$ within the next ten years in detail. Furthermore, we show that under optimistic assumptions and for $\theta_{13}$ close to the current bound, even the next generation of experiments might provide some information on the Dirac CP phase and the type of the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Updated BBN bounds on the cosmological lepton asymmetry for non-zero theta13
hep-ph 2011-10 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

For the experimentally favored range of theta13, BBN limits the total neutrino lepton asymmetry to |eta_nu| <~ 0.1, so a primordial asymmetry cannot produce an effective number of neutrinos large enough for Planck to detect.
Status of global fits to neutrino oscillations

Combining all 2004 neutrino oscillation data yields best-fit three-flavour parameters with sin^2(theta_13) below about 0.05 at 3 sigma and confirms that four-neutrino schemes cannot accommodate LSND alongside the rest.
