This Letter reports a search for charge-parity ($CP$) symmetry violating nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter using the NOvA Experiment, and examines their effects on the determination of the standard oscillation parameters. Data from $\nu_{\mu}(\bar{\nu}_{\mu})\rightarrow\nu_{\mu}(\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ and $\nu_{\mu}(\bar{\nu}_{\mu})\rightarrow\nu_{e}(\bar{\nu}_{e})$ oscillation channels are used to measure the effect of the NSI parameters $\varepsilon_{e\mu}$ and $\varepsilon_{e\tau}$. With 90% CL the magnitudes of the NSI couplings are constrained to be $|\varepsilon_{e\mu}| \, \lesssim 0.3$ and $|\varepsilon_{e\tau}| \, \lesssim 0.4$. A degeneracy at $|\varepsilon_{e\tau}| \, \approx 1.8$ is reported, and we observe that the presence of NSI limits sensitivity to the standard $CP$ phase $\delta_{\tiny\text{CP}}$.

  1. Leptonic CP Phase Determination from Fisher Information in NO$\nu$A and T2K

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    T2K and NOνA extract only a small fraction of the quantum information about δ_CP, with extraction efficiency particularly suppressed near maximal CP violation.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    IceCube DeepCore atmospheric neutrino data yields δ_CP-independent constraints on NSI parameters ε_eμ and ε_eτ that are consistent with standard interactions.
