Abstract

We show the possibility to discover the neutrino nature by measuring the Majorana CP phase at the DUNE experiment. This phase is turned on by a decoherence environment, possibly originated by physics at the Planck scale. A sizable distortion in the measurement of the Dirac CP violation phase δCP\delta_{\mathrm{CP}} is observed at DUNE when compared with T2HK measurement due to decoherence and non-null Majorana phase. Being that, when the measurement of the Majorana phase is performed at DUNE, it reaches a precision of 23 (21) %\% for a decoherence parameter Γ=4.5(5.5)×1024GeV\Gamma=4.5(5.5)\times 10^{-24} \mathrm{GeV} and a Majorana phase equal to 1.5π1.5 \pi. The latter precision is similar to the one obtained at the T2K experiment at its current Dirac CP violation phase measurement.
