Neutrino factory optimization for non-standard interactions

Understand

We study the optimization of a neutrino factory with respect to non-standard neutral current neutrino interactions, and compare the results to those obtained without non-standard interactions.

• We discuss the muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels as degrees of freedom.
• Our conclusions are based on both analytical calculations and on a full numerical simulation of the neutrino factory setup proposed by the international design study (IDS-NF).
• We consider all possible non-standard parameters, and include their complex phases.
