Physics potential of the Fermilab NuMI beamline

We explore the physics potential of the NuMI beamline with a detector located 10 km off axis at a distant site (810 km). We study the sensitivity to sin(2)2 theta(13) and to the CP-violating parameter sin delta as well as the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy by exploiting the nu(mu)->nu(e) and (nu) over bar (mu)-->(nu) over bar (e) appearance channels. The results are illustrated for three different experimental setups to quantify the benefits of increased detector sizes, proton luminosities, and nu(e) detection efficiencies
