Abstract

We show the prospects of probing neutral-current non-standard interaction (NSI) in the propagation of atmospheric neutrinos in future large-volume neutrino experiments including DUNE, HK, KNO, and ORCA. For DUNE, we utilize its ability of identifying the tau neutrino event and combine the ντ\nu_\tau appearance with the νμ\nu_\mu disappearance. Based on our simulated results, the ten years of data taking of the atmospheric neutrinos can enormously improve the bounds on the NSI parameters εμτ,εμμεττ\varepsilon_{\mu \tau}, | \varepsilon_{\mu \mu} - \varepsilon_{\tau \tau} |, εeμ\varepsilon_{e \mu }, εeτ\varepsilon_{e \tau} and εμμεee| \varepsilon_{\mu \mu} - \varepsilon_{e e} | by a couple of orders of magnitudes. In addition, we show the expected correlations between the CP-violation phase δCP\delta_{CP} and the NSI parameters εeμ,εeτ\varepsilon_{e\mu}, \varepsilon_{e\tau}, and εeeεμμ|\varepsilon_{ee} - \varepsilon_{\mu \mu}| and confirm the potentials of DUNE, HK, KNO (combined with HK) in excluding the "No CP violation" hypothesis at 1σ\sigma, 2σ\sigma, and 3σ\sigma, respectively.
