Description

To measure the last unknown 3ν oscillation parameter (δ), several long baseline neutrino experiments have been designed or proposed. Recently it has been shown that turning on neutral current Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter can induce degeneracies that may even hinder the proposed state-of-the-art DUNE long baseline experiment from measuring the value of δ. After a brief review of models that can give rise to sizeable NSI, we show how the result of the proposed MOMENT experiment with a baseline of 150 km and 200 MeV<Eν<600 MeV can help to solve the degeneracy induced by NSI and determine the true value of δ.
