Tau neutrino as a probe of nonstandard interaction
Abstract
We study the -resonance and deep inelastic scattering contributions in the tau-neutrino nucleon scattering and in the presence of a charged Higgs and a gauge boson. The new physics effects to the quasielastic process have been discussed in a previous work. The extractions of the atmospheric mixing angle rely on the standard model cross sections for in appearance experiments. Corrections to the cross sections from the charged Higgs and contributions modify the measured mixing angle. We include form factor effects in the new physics calculations and find the deviations of the mixing angle. If high-energy Long Base Line experiments are designed to measure through tau neutrino appearance, the new physics effects to and can impact the extraction of this mixing angle. Finally, we investigate the new physics effects on the polarization of the leptons produced in nucleon scattering.
