Neutrino oscillation experiments provide a unique window in exploring several new physics scenarios beyond the standard three flavour. One such scenario is quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillation which tends to destroy the interference pattern of neutrinos reaching the far detector from the source. In this work, we study the decoherence in neutrino oscillation in the context of the ESSnuSB experiment. We consider the energy-independent decoherence parameter and derive the analytical expressions for P$_{\mu e}$ and P$_{\mu \mu}$ probabilities in vacuum. We have computed the capability of ESSnuSB to put bounds on the decoherence parameters namely, $\Gamma_{21}$ and $\Gamma_{32}$ and found that the constraints on $\Gamma_{21}$ are competitive compared to the DUNE bounds and better than the most stringent LBL ones from MINOS/MINOS+. We have also investigated the impact of decoherence on the ESSnuSB measurement of the Dirac CP phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$ and concluded that it remains robust in the presence of new physics.

  1. Generalising gravitationally induced decoherence beyond linear environmental interactions in a microscopic quantum mechanical toy model

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Extends linear toy model of gravitational decoherence to sinus-like Weyl couplings, derives master equation via two correlation-function methods, and solves the renormalised equation.

  2. Impact of different neutrino decoherence formalisms at the future long-baseline Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Two bases for the neutrino decoherence matrix yield identical vacuum probabilities at small Gamma but diverge at large Gamma or with strong matter effects, altering chi-squared sensitivities at DUNE and P2SO.

  3. Searching non-standard interactions with atmospheric neutrinos at ESSnuSB

    hep-ex 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    With 5.4 Mt·year atmospheric neutrino exposure, ESSnuSB could constrain |ε_eμ^m| < 0.053, |ε_eτ^m| < 0.057, |ε_μτ^m| < 0.021 and related diagonal differences at 90% CL, while NSI would alter mass ordering and θ23 octa...
