NSI Implications on NMO The consequences of this feature is the uncertainty encountered in fitting of a particular mass ordering model to experimental data. For instance, an experimentally observed event spectrum might look like either N NO N ν ( E , cos θ ) ν ( ϵ μτ = 0) or . N IO ν ( ϵ μτ ≠ 0) This mass ordering - sign of NSI degeneracy can make the determination of mass ordering more difficult => a higher precision is required to disentangle the mass orderings. The test statistic under consideration is [ N IO ( ϵ αβ ) − N NO ( ϵ αβ )] 2 χ 2 ( ϵ αβ ) = ∑ N NO ( ϵ αβ ) E , cos θ The toy data is simulated with different possible NSIs and the NSI parameters are treated as a systematics in the in the fit. 8 5th Nov 2019 | N.

One-NSI The appearance channel P e 𝜈 is affected by ϵ e 𝜈 and ϵ e 𝜐 . The red dotted line gives the NMO sensitivity for Std. Oscillations. The NMO sensitivity is diluted in presence of NSI ϵ e 𝜈 and ϵ e 𝜐 . 9 5th Nov 2019 | N. R. Khan Chowdhury | Group Meeting | IFIC, Valencia |
One-NSI The muon survival channel P 𝜈𝜈 is affected by ϵ 𝜈𝜐 and ϵ 𝜐𝜐 . The red dotted line gives the NMO sensitivity for Std. Oscillations. No significant impact of ϵ 𝜈𝜐 and ϵ 𝜐𝜐 is foreseen on NMO sensitivity. (The effect is washed out once marginalised over the NSI parameter.) 10 5th Nov 2019 | N. R.

Multiple NSIs [ N IO ( ϵ αβ ) − N NO ( ϵ αβ = 0)] 2 χ 2 ( ϵ αβ ) = ∑ The test statistic under consideration is N NO ( ϵ αβ = 0) E , cos θ The toy data is simulated assuming Std. Oscillations. NSI parameters are treated as systematics while fitting over the wrong ordering (IO). The effect of individual NSI on the NMO sensitivity is estimated by releasing them in succession in the fit. A dilution of 1 𝜏 in NMO sensitivity is observed for a set of values of θ 23 in the higher octant. 11 5th Nov 2019 | N. R. Khan Chowdhury | Group Meeting | IFIC, Valencia |
