Impact of Matter Density Profile Shape on Non-Standard Interactions at DUNE
arXiv:1809.09313
Abstract
We discuss the impact of matter density profile shape on the determination of nonstandard neutrino matter interactions (NSI) in the context of the long baseline accelerator experiments such as Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The primary scientific goals of DUNE are to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy, the leptonic CP violation phase, and the existence of new physics beyond the standard model of particles. Here we study the role of different earth matter density profiles on the question of observing standard oscillation as wells as NSI at DUNE. We consider two different earth matter density profiles which are relevant for the DUNE baseline. We first discuss the impact of matter on both appearance and disappearance oscillation channels, then we demonstrate the effect of different matter density profiles on the determination of NSI. We consider four different scenarios of NSI and elucidate the effect at the oscillation probability and measurement of number of events at DUNE. In one case of study we show that a nonstandard complex phase could significantly increase the sensitivity to different matter distributions along the baseline.
