“…Lorentz violation can also induce time variability of the neutrino oscillation [349]. Effects could be observed in short and long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments which ought to provide strong constraints lower-dimensional operators [347,[349][350][351][352][353][354][355][356][357][358][359].…”

The authors of this paper primarily consist of those who participated in the New Opportunities at Next-Generation Neutrino Experiments workshop held on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. Given the anticipated and growing importance of BSM topics that can be explored in the next-generation neutrino experiments, the authors of this white paper are strong advocates of these topics and aim to become a de facto working group for the upcoming decadal study of the APS Division of Particles and Fields. This white paper is the first step to accomplish these goals, and provides a benchmark for ourselves to check progress toward making BSM physics a primary, yet complementary, topical area to precision neutrino oscillation parameter measurements. The authors plan to follow up this white paper and workshop with the subsequent series to ensure continued improvement and broadening of the BSM topics accessible to neutrino experiments, and to draw increasing attention to this field throughout the future.

“…Atmospheric data with E < 100 GeV can be used to set a robust limit of order |δV eff | ∆m 2 atm /E ∼ 10 −23 GeV. Reactors, accelerator and solar data have lower energies and are typically sensitive to larger exotic effects, see for instance Double-CHOOZ [27] and MINOS [28]. Finally, astrophysical neutrinos have E > 30 TeV and thus become fully effective only for |δV eff | 4 × 10 −26 GeV.…”

We examine scenarios in which a dark sector (dark matter, dark radiation, or dark energy) couples to the active neutrinos. For light and weakly-coupled exotic sectors we find that scalar, vector, or tensor dark backgrounds may appreciably impact neutrino propagation while remaining practically invisible to all other phenomenological probes. The dark medium may induce small departures from the Standard Model predictions or even offer an alternative explanation of neutrino oscillations. While the propagation of neutrinos is affected in all experiments, atmospheric data currently represent the most promising probe of the new physics scale. We quantify the future sensitivity of the ORCA detector of KM3NeT and the IceCube experiment and find that all exotic effects can be constrained at the level of a few percent of the Earth matter potential, with couplings mediating µ-neutrino transitions being most constrained. Long baseline experiments like DUNE may provide additional complementary information on the scale of the dark sector. * Electronic address: capozzi@mpp.mpg.de †

“…This has been done, to cite a few recent examples, by IceCube [14], Double Chooz [15,16], LSND [17], MiniBooNE [18], MINOS [19,20] and Super Kamiokande [21]. Additionally, many authors have studied how best to parametrize and/or use neutrino oscillations and neutrino interactions to perform tests of CPT and Lorentz symmetry breaking in different contexts, ranging from neutrino factories and telescopes to long baseline, atmospheric, solar and reactor experiments, including those looking for supernova neutrinos .…”

Abstract:We study the sensitivity of the Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) at the India-Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) to Lorentz and CPT violation in the neutrino sector. Its ability to identify the charge of muons in addition to their direction and energy makes ICAL a useful tool in putting constraints on these fundamental symmetries. Using resolution, efficiencies, errors and uncertainties obtained from ICAL detector simulations, we determine sensitivities to δb 31 , which parametizes the violations in the muon neutrino sector. We carry out calculations for three generic cases representing mixing in the CPT violating part of the hamiltonian, specifically , when the mixing is 1) small, 2) large, 3) the same as that in the PMNS matrix. We find that for both types of hierarchy, ICAL at INO should be sensitive to δb 31 4 × 10 −23 GeV at 99% C.L. for 500 kt-yr exposure, unless the mixing in the CPT violation sector is small.
