Probing Source and Detector NSI parameters at the DUNE Near Detector

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-07-28 v2

Abstract

We investigate the capability of the DUNE Near Detector (ND) to constrain Non Standard Interaction parameters (NSI) describing the production of neutrinos (εαβs\varepsilon_{\alpha\beta}^s) and their detection (εαβd\varepsilon_{\alpha\beta}^d). We show that the DUNE ND is able to reject a large portion of the parameter space allowed by DUNE Far Detector analyses and to set the most stringent bounds from accelerator neutrino experiments on εμes,d|\varepsilon_{\mu e}^{s,d}| for wide intervals of the related phases. We also provide simple analytic understanding of our results as well as a numerical study of their dependence on the systematic errors, showing that the DUNE ND offers a clean environment where to study source and detector NSI.
