Neutrino mass ordering is one of the foremost problems in neutrino physics today. But two new neutrino oscillation experiments are on the horizon—the IceCube Upgrade and JUNO. So the IceCube Collaboration and the JUNO Collaboration studied the combined performance of their respective experiments, which employ very distinct and complementary routes in order to resolve the neutrino mass ordering. In a paper submitted recently to Physical Review D, they show that a combined analysis could eliminate the wrong mass ordering in as few as three years from the start of data taking. […]
