Neutrino physics and non-standard interactions

Abstract

In most of the proposals for new physics beyond the standard model, neutrinos have new interactions and some of them have phenomenological consequences that, although at present they may seem purely academic, probably will have to be taken into account in the future neutrino experiments. Here we show that new interactions may imply the misidentification of the flavour of the neutrinos, and the experimental ability to distinguish neutrinos from antineutrinos.
