We discuss the minimum requirements for a neutrino beta beam if {theta}{sub 13} is discovered by an upcoming reactor experiment, such as Double Chooz or Daya Bay. We require that both neutrino mass hierarchy and leptonic CP violation can be measured to competitive precisions with a single-baseline experiment in the entire remaining {theta}{sub 13} range. For example, we find that a ({sup 18}Ne,{sup 6}He) beta beam from Fermilab to a water Cherenkov detector at Homestake with {gamma} > or approx. 190 could outperform practically any other beam technology including wide-band beam and neutrino factory.
