Abstract

We are building a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment utilizing v̄_e from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station near Phoenix, Arizona. Once completed this experiment should reach sensitivities of Δm² ≃ 1.5 × 10^-3 eV² and sin² 2θ ≃ 0.1 exploring mass differences about one order of magnitude smaller that the current limits. Our range of sensitivity will allow us to conclusively ascertain whether the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is caused by the v_e - v_x oscillations. We report on the status of the construction describing the main experimental challenges of the project.
