High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-09-25 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

In this work we analyze quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillations considering the Open Quantum System framework and oscillations through matter for three neutrino families. Taking DUNE as a case study we performed sensitivity analyses for two neutrino flux configurations finding limits for the decoherence parameters. We also offer a physical interpretation for a new peak which arises at the νe\nu_{e} appearance probability with decoherence. The best sensitivity regions found for the decoherence parameters are Γ211.2×1023GeV\Gamma_{21}\le 1.2\times10^{-23}\,\text{GeV} and Γ327.7×1025GeV\Gamma_{32}\le 7.7\times10^{-25}\,\text{GeV} at 90%90\% C.
