Confusing nonstandard neutrino interactions with oscillations at a neutrino factory
Confusing nonstandard neutrino interactions with oscillations at a neutrino factory
Most neutrino mass theories contain nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos which can be either nonuniversal (NU) or flavor changing (FC). We study the impact of such interactions on the determination of neutrino mixing parameters at a neutrino factory using the so-called ``golden channels'' ${\stackrel{\mathrm{(-)}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\stackrel{\mathrm{(-)}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}$ for the measurement of ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}.$ We …
