Non-Unitarity at DUNE and T2HK with Charged and Neutral Current Measurements
Abstract
Neutral current (NC) measurements play an important role in exploring new physics scenarios at long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We find that combining NC measurements of the proposed Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) with its charged current (CC) measurements enhances the bounds on some of the Non-Unitarity (NU) parameters. Combining DUNE with the T2HK experiment improves the bounds further. We show that even in the averaged out regime of light sterile neutrinos, the NC events are different from the heavy sterile case in the leading order. It is observed that NC measurements at DUNE provide much better constraints on the $\alpha_{33}$ parameter than the CC measurements.
