Description

We explore, for the first time, neutral-current events at long-baseline experiments to constrain vector and axial-vector neutrino non-standard interactions (NSI) with quarks. We leverage the flavor dependence of NSIs to perform an oscillation analysis in the neutral-current channel. We analyze NOvA neutral-current data which provides significantly improved constraints on the axial-vector NSI parameters. This is highly complementary to constraints from SNO data.
