Sensitivity of T2KK to non-standard interactions

Abstract

Assuming only the non-zero electron and tau neutrino components $\epsilon_{ee}$, $\epsilon_{e\tau}$, $\epsilon_{\tau\tau}$ of the non-standard matter effect and postulating the atmospheric neutrino constraint $\epsilon_{\tau\tau}=|\epsilon_{e\tau}|^2/(1+\epsilon_{ee})$, the sensitivity to the non-standard interaction in neutrino propagation of the T2KK neutrino long-baseline experiment is estimated. It is found that T2KK can constrain the parameters $|\epsilon_{ee}|\lesssim 1$, $|\epsilon_{e\tau}|\lesssim 0.2$.
