Constraining Lorentz Invariance Violation with Next-Generation Long-Baseline Experiments

Abstract

Unified theories such as string theory and loop quantum gravity allow the Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) at the Planck Scale ($M_P\sim 10^{19}$ GeV). Using an effective field theory, this effect can be observed at low energies in terms of new interactions with a strength of $\sim 1/M_P$. These new interactions contain operators with LIV coefficients which can be CPT-violating or CPT-conserving. In this work, we study in detail how these LIV parameters modify the transition probabilities in the next-generation long-baseline experiments, DUNE and T2HK. We evaluate the sensitivities of these experiments in isolation and combination to constrain the off-diagonal CPT-violating ($a_{e\mu }$, $a_{e\tau }$, $a_{\mu \tau }$) and CPT-conserving ($c_{e\mu }$, $c_{e\tau }$, $c_{\mu \tau }$) LIV parameters. We derive approximate compact analytical expressions of ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_e$ and ${\nu }_{\mu }\to {\nu }_{\mu }$ probabilities in the presence of these LIV parameters to explain our numerical results. We explore the possible correlations and degeneracies between these LIV parameters & 3$\nu$ parameters ${\theta }_{23}$ & ${\delta }_{\mathrm{CP}}$. We find that for non-maximal values of ${\theta }_{23}$, there exist degenerate solutions in its opposite octant for standalone DUNE and T2HK. These degeneracies disappear when we combine the data from DUNE and T2HK. In case of no-show, we place the expected bounds on these CPT-violating and CPT-conserving LIV parameters at 95% C.L. using the standalone DUNE, T2HK, and their combination. We observe that due to its access to a longer baseline and high-energy neutrinos, DUNE has a better reach in probing all these LIV parameters as compared to T2HK. Since the terms containing the CPT-conserving LIV parameters are proportional to neutrino energy in oscillation probabilities, T2HK is almost insensitive to the CPT-conserving LIV parameters because it mostly deals with sub-GeV neutrinos.

arXiv comment40 pages, 13 figures, 7 tables, two appendices. T2HK replaced by Hyper-K in the entire paper, Table 2 slightly modified, two new tables added in section 4, a new appendix added containing three new figures, and more discussions added in the text. This version has the same contents as the published article in Journal of High Energy Physics
