Reactor and Atmospheric Neutrino Mixing Angles' Correlation as a Probe for New Physics

Abstract

We performed a simulation on the DUNE experiment to probe the capability of future neutrino long-baseline experiments' ability to constrain the parameter space of high-energy models by using the correlation between the atmospheric and reactor mixing angles. As an example, we took the Tetrahedral Flavour Symmetry model, which predicts a strong relation between the non-zero value of θ13\theta_{13} and deviation of θ23\theta_{23} from the maximality. We show that in this case, the model can realistically be excluded in more than 3σ3\sigma for most of the parameter space. We also study the octant degeneracy at DUNE and its impact on the sensitivity of such models.
