Pilar Coloma (Fermilab) “US long-baseline neutrino program as a tool to search for new physics”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


Abstract:
I will discuss some of the new physics scenarios which could be probed at the long-baseline neutrino facility (LBNF) and the deep underground neutrino experiment (DUNE). A near detector at LBNF could probe the existence of a leptophobic portal to a dark sector via a $Z’$ beyond current constraints. The DUNE far detector data, on the other hand, could be used to test for non-standard interactions affecting neutral current neutrino scattering. In this case, interesting degeneracies between standard and non-standard oscillation parameters could take place.
