Shifts of neutrino oscillation parameters in reactor antineutrino experiments with non-standard interactions
We discuss reactor antineutrino oscillations with non-standard interactions
(NSIs) at the neutrino production and detection processes. The neutrino
oscillation probability is calculated with a parametrization of the NSI
parameters by splitting them into the averages and differences of the
production and detection processes respectively. The average parts induce
constant shifts of the neutrino mixing angles from their true values, and the
difference parts can generate the energy (and baseline) dependent corrections
to the initial mass-squared differences. We stress that only the shifts of
mass-squared differences are measurable in reactor antineutrino experiments.
Taking Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) as an example, we
analyze how NSIs influence the standard neutrino measurements and to what
extent we can constrain the NSI parameters.Comment: a typo in Eq.(25) fixed after published version, discussion and
