Abstract

We consider minimal type-I seesaw framework to realize μτ \mu-\tau reflection symmetry in the low-energy neutrino mass matrix, Mν M_{\nu} . Considering DUNE experiment, we scrutinize its potential to measure the precision of 2-3 mixing angle, θ23 \theta_{23} and the Dirac CP-phase, δ \delta for the given symmetry. Later, we examine the precision of these two parameters considering NuFit-3.2 data as one of the important true points. To study the low-energy phenomenology, we further discuss various breaking patterns of such an exact symmetry. Moreover, for each breaking scenario we perform the capability test of DUNE for the determination of θ23 \theta_{23} and to establish the phenomenon of CP violation considering the true benchmark point arising from the breaking of μτ \mu-\tau reflection symmetry. We also make remarks on the potential of DUNE to rule out maximal CP-violation or CP-conservation hypothesis at a certain confidence level for different scenarios.
