Interplay of CPT-Violating and CPT-Conserving Lorentz Invariance Violation at DUNE
Abstract
We present a study of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in neutrino oscillations, with primary emphasis on the interplay between CPT-violating and CPT-conserving Standard Model Extension (SME) coefficients. We find that and dominate among the diagonal LIV coefficients, whereas and provide the most significant off-diagonal contributions. In contrast, the corresponding coefficients have comparatively sub-leading effects. Taking DUNE as a representative long-baseline experiment, we show that the sensitivity to CP violation is modified by LIV in a parameter-specific manner. We find correlations between off-diagonal LIV parameters, and non-trivial dependence on the new phases. In absence of LIV, DUNE is expected to establish CP violation at for a limited fraction of values. We find that the presence of , , and weakens the CP discovery potential, reducing the achievable significance to below over a substantial fraction of . The independent impact of terms also results in suppression, but in combination with , they introduce degeneracies, complicating the extraction of . This generally results in a deterioration of CP violation sensitivities below . These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating LIV effects in precision oscillation studies at upcoming long-baseline experiments.
