Search for the differences in Atmospheric Neutrinos and Antineutrinos oscillation parameters at the INO-ICAL Experiment

Abstract

In this paper, we present a study to measure the differences between the atmospheric neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations in the Iron-Calorimeter detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory experiment. Charged Current ${\nu }_{\mu }$ and ${\overline{\nu }}_{\mu }$ interactions with the detector under the influence of earth matter effect have been simulated for ten years of exposure. The observed ${\nu }_{\mu }$ and ${\overline{\nu }}_{\mu }$ events spectrum are separately binned into direction and energy bins, and a ${\chi }^2$ is minimised with respect to each bin to extract the oscillation parameters for ${\nu }_{\mu }$ and ${\overline{\nu }}_{\mu }$ separately. We then present the ICAL sensitivity to confirm a non-zero value of the difference in atmospheric mass squared of neutrino and anti-neutrino i.e. $|\Delta m_{32}^2|-|\Delta {\overline{m^2}}_{32}|$.
