Far Detector Reference Configurations

1. Three 100 kton fiducial water Cherenkov detectors with size as specified in BNL DDRD-doc-203-v2 (DUSEL note #73-V3). Depth 4850 feet of DUSEL. Coverage 15% 10 inch High QE PMT’s.

1a. Same as 1, but with 30% coverage. 1b. Same as 1a, but with gadolinium loading also.

2. Three 17 kton fiducial liquid argon detectors with size specified in FNAL DDRD-doc-113-v1. Depth 4850 feet of DUSEL. Assume a scintillation photon trigger for proton decay and supernova neutrinos.

2a. Same as 2, but with depth 300 feet and no photon trigger. 2b. Same as 2, but with depth 800 feet

3. Two 100 kton fiducial water Cherenkov detectors at 4850 foot depth as specified in 1, plus one 17 kton fiducial liquid argon detector at 300 foot depth as specified in 2a.

3a. Same as 3, but with the water Cherenkov modules as in 1a. 3b. Same as 3, but with one water Cherenkov modules as in 1b.
