Description

We discuss impact of non-standard interactions with neutrinos (NSIs) on future oscillation experiments. In order to study the sensitivity to NSIs, we perform the numerical simulations which take into account uncertainties in neutrino oscillation parameters, realistic experimental setups, and their systematic errors. We show that a neutrino factory experiment has excellent prospects of detecting NSIs originating from new physics at the O(1) TeV scale. We also examine the near future experiments, reactor and accelerator experiments, and illustrate the effect of NSIs within the current experimental bounds to the determination of the oscillation parameters such as theta13 and deltaCP.
