Abstract

The effect of non-standard neutrino interactions with matter at long baseline neutrino experiments is examined in a model independent way, taking into account the constraints from all the experiments. It is found that such a non-standard interaction can enhance the flavor transition probability so significantly that the ongoing experiment MINOS may see the signal of νμνe which is much more than the prediction by the standard scenario. It is also found that the silver channel νeντ at a neutrino factory could have a huge enhancement.
