Abstract:We show that neutral current (NC) measurements at neutrino detectors can play a valuable role in the search for new physics. Such measurements have certain intrinsic features and advantages that can fruitfully be combined with the usual well-studied charged lepton detection channels in order to probe the presence of new interactions or new light states. In addition to the fact that NC events are immune to uncertainties in standard model neutrino mixing and mass parameters, they can have small matter effects and superior rates since all three flavours participate. We also show, as a general feature, that NC measurements provide access to different combinations of CP phases and mixing parameters compared to CC measurements at both long and short baseline experiments. Using the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as an illustrative setting, we demonstrate the capability of NC measurements to break degeneracies arising in CC measurements, allowing us, in principle, to distinguish between new physics that violates three flavour unitarity and that which does not. Finally, we show that NC measurements can enable us to restrict new physics parameters that are not easily constrained by CC measurements.

“…The search for sterile oscillation frequency is perform within a model and the most economical one to accommodate an extra light sterile neutrino state is the so call 3 + 1 framework. From the negative observation of an sterile oscillation, several experimental collaborations have reported limits to the active-sterile mixing within the 3 + 1 framework [3,4,5,6,7,8].…”

Most of neutrino events observed from neutrinos produced in the Sun, from interactions in the Earth atmosphere, and neutrinos from artificial sources such as the ones produced in reactor and accelerator-based experiments are well described by neutrino oscillations within the three active neutrino framework. However, the existence of extra light sterile neutrino states, mainly motivated by different anomalies (like LSND and reactor), has not been yet established. In order to reject the light sterile hypothesis (or to discover a new oscillation phase around the eV scale), an enormous effort is being pursued by current and future experimental collaborations. In this talk (based on the work [1]) I will focus on the role of the long-baseline (LBL) neutrino experiments, in particular DUNE, to constrain the tau-sterile mixing angle in the economical framework of having only one extra light sterile neutrino state. As it will be discussed, at LBL experiments the neutral-current data is directly sensitive to the presence of light sterile neutrinos.
