Probing Long-Range Forces in Neutrino Oscillations at the ESSnuSB Experiment
read the original abstract
Neutrino oscillations constitute an excellent tool to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we investigate the potential of the ESSnuSB experiment to constrain the effects of flavour-dependent long-range forces (LRFs) in neutrino oscillations, which may arise due to the extension of the Standard Model gauge group by introducing new $U(1)$ symmetries. Focusing on three specific $U(1)$ symmetries -- $L_e - L_\mu$, $L_e - L_\tau$, and $L_\mu - L_\tau$, we demonstrate that ESSnuSB offers a favourable environment to search for LRF effects. Our analyses reveal that ESSnuSB can set $90\%$ confidence level bounds of $V_{e\mu} < 2.99 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{eV}$, $V_{e\tau} < 2.05 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{eV}$, and $V_{\mu\tau} < 1.81 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{eV}$, which are competitive to the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). It is also observed that reducing the systematic uncertainties from $5\%$ to $2\%$ improves the ESSnuSB limits on $V_{\alpha\beta}$. Interestingly, we find limited correlations between LRF parameters and the less constrained lepton mixing parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $\delta_{\text{CP}}$, preserving the robustness of ESSnuSB's sensitivity to CP violation. Even under extreme LRF potentials ($V_{\alpha\beta} \gg 10^{-13} \, \text{eV}$), the CP-violation sensitivity and $\delta_{\text{CP}}$ precision remain largely unaffected. These results establish ESSnuSB as a competitive experimental setup for probing LRF effects, complementing constraints from other neutrino sources and offering critical insights into the physics of long-range forces.

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