Testing non-standard neutrino matter interactions in atmospheric neutrino propagation

Abstract

We study the effects of non-standard interactions on the oscillation pattern of atmospheric neutrinos. We use neutrino oscillograms as our main tool to infer the role of non-standard interactions (NSI) parameters at the probability level in the energy range, $E\in [1,20]$ GeV and zenith angle range, $\cos \theta \in [-1,0]$. We compute the event rates for atmospheric neutrino events in presence of NSI parameters in the energy range $E\in [1,10]$ GeV for two different detector configurations - a magnetized iron calorimeter and an unmagnetized liquid Argon time projection chamber which have different sensitivities to NSI parameters due to their complementary characteristics. As an application, we discuss how NSI parameter, ${\epsilon }_{\mu \tau }$ impacts the determination of the correct octant of ${\theta }_{23}$.
