Direct Detections of Dark Matter in the Presence of Non-standard Neutrino Interactions

Abstract
In this paper we investigate impacts of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs) to the limitations on the discovery potential of dark matter in direct detection experiments. New neutrino floors are derived taking into account current upper bounds on the effective couplings of various NSIs. Our study shows that the neutrino floors of the standard model neutral current interactions can be significantly changed in the presence of vector-current NSI and scalar-current NSI, and the neutrino floors can be raised up to about in the presence of pseudo-scalar-current NSI, and there are almost no impacts to the neutrino floors from the axial-vector NSI and the tensor NSI. We suggest combining the dark matter direct detection experiments with the coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering experiments to hunt for new physics behind the signal of nuclear recoil in the future.
