In long baseline oscillation experiments with high intensive neutrino beams from neutrino factories, the neutrinos travel distances of some thousand kilometers through the mantle of the Earth. This enables precision measurements of the fundamental neutrino parameters (mixing angles, mass differences and CP-phase), as well as a dedicated test of resonant matter effects. In this work a numerical neutrino factory simulation is presented and applied for the study of the potential of a neutrino factory with regard to these measurements. The results of this study together with analytical considerations help to optimize the machine parameters of a future neutrino factory and are basis for political important comparisons with alternative concepts.
