Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions : Obviating Oscillation Experiments

TL;DR

This paper shows that many potential non-standard neutrino interactions, which could indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model, are already excluded by existing collider data, reducing the need for dedicated neutrino oscillation experiments.

Contribution

It reveals that collider data from the LHC's RUN II significantly constrains the parameter space for non-standard neutrino interactions, challenging the necessity of certain neutrino oscillation experiments.

Findings

Large parts of parameter space are ruled out by LHC RUN II data.

Collider experiments provide competitive constraints on neutrino interactions.

Implications for future neutrino research directions.

Abstract

Searching for non-standard neutrino interactions, as a means for discovering physics beyond the Standard Model, has one of the key goals of dedicated neutrino experiments, current and future. We demonstrate here that much of the parameter space accessible to such experiments is already ruled out by the RUN II data of the Large Hadron Collider experiment.
