Exploring Source and Detector Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at ESSSB

arXiv:1507.02868 · doi:10.1007/JHEP09(2015)096

Abstract

We investigate source and detector non-standard neutrino interactions at the proposed ESSSB experiment. We analyze the effect of non-standard physics at the probability level, the event-rate level and by a full computation of the ESSSB setup. We find that the precision measurement of the leptonic mixing angle at ESSSB is robust in the presence of non-standard interactions, whereas that of the leptonic CP-violating phase is worsened at most by a factor of two. We compute sensitivities to all the relevant source and decector non-standard interaction parameters and find that the sensitivities to the parameters and are comparable to the existing limits in a realistic scenario, while they improve by a factor of two in an optimistic scenario. Finally, we show that the absence of a near detector compromises the sensitivity of ESSSB to non-standard interactions.
