On the sensitivity of modern neutrino oscillation experiments to flavor-changing matter effects

POSTER

Abstract

We investigate the sensitivity of modern neutrino oscillation experiments to novel flavor-changing neutrino-matter interactions. Specifically, we fit non-standard interaction (NSI) parameters in the electron-tau sector to combined appearance data from the NOvA and T2K long-baseline experiments and compare our results to the standard model fit. Finally, we explore the implications of this fit for the solar electron neutrino survival probability by comparing our long-baseline fit to data from the SNO experiment.
