Why matter effects matter for JUNO

In this paper we focus on the Earth matter effects for the solar parameter determination by a medium baseline reactor experiment such as JUNO. We derive perturbative expansions for the mixing angles θ12 and θ13 as well as the Δm212 and Δm312 in terms of the matter potential relevant for JUNO. These...
