Abstract

The next-generation neutrino experiment JUNO will determine the solar oscillation parameters - sin2θ12\sin^2 \theta_{12} and Δm212\Delta m^2_{21} - with great accuracy, in addition to measuring sin2θ13\sin^2\theta_{13}, Δm312\Delta m^2_{31}, and the mass ordering. In parallel, the continued study of solar neutrinos at Hyper-Kamiokande will provide complementary measurements in the solar sector. In this paper, we address the expected sensitivity to non-universal and flavour-changing non-standard interactions (NSI) with dd-type quarks from the combination of these two future neutrino experiments. We also show the robustness of their measurements of the solar parameters sin2θ12\sin^2 \theta_{12} and Δm212\Delta m^2_{21} in the presence of NSI. We study the impact of the exact experimental configuration of the Hyper-Kamiokande detector, and conclude it is of little relevance in this scenario. Finally, we find that the LMA-D solution is expected to be present if no additional input from non-oscillation experiments is considered.
