Future DUNE constraints on EFT

Understand

In the near future, fundamental interactions at high-energy scales may be most efficiently studied via precision measurements at low energies.

• A universal language to assemble and interpret precision measurements is the so-called SMEFT, which is an effective field theory (EFT) where the Standard Model (SM) Lagrangian is extended by higher-dimensional operators.
• In this paper we investigate the possible impact of the DUNE neutrino experiment on constraining the SMEFT.
• The unprecedented neutrino flux offers an opportunity to greatly improve the current limits via precision measurements of the trident production and neutrino scattering off electrons and nuclei in the DUNE near detector.
