We consider Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSI), described by four-fermion operators of the form $(\bar{\nu}_{\alpha} \gamma {\nu}_{\beta}) (\bar{f} \gamma f)$, where $f$ is an electron or first generation quark. We assume these operators are generated at dimension $\geq 8$, so the related vertices involving charged leptons, obtained by an SU(2) transformation $\nu_{\delta} \to e_{\delta}$, do not appear at tree level. These related vertices necessarily arise at one loop, via $W$ exchange. We catalogue current constraints from $\sin^2 \theta_W$ measurements in neutrino scattering, from atmospheric neutrino observations, from LEP, and from bounds on the related charged lepton operators. We estimate future bounds from comparing KamLAND and solar neutrino data, and from measuring $\sin^2 \theta_W$ at the near detector of a neutrino factory. Operators constructed with $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_e$ should not confuse the determination of oscillation parameters at a $\nu$factory, because the processes we consider are more sensitive than oscillations at the far detector. For operators involving $\nu_\tau$, we estimate similar sensitivities at the near and far detector.

  1. Impact of non-standard neutrino-electron interactions on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    NSI between neutrinos and electrons shift Big Bang Nucleosynthesis yields of helium-4 and deuterium, yielding cosmological constraints that are weaker than but complementary to terrestrial limits.

  2. $\texttt{SNuDD}$: Solar Neutrinos for Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    SNuDD computes solar-neutrino recoil spectra with non-standard interactions and derives NSI limits from xenon direct-detection data that are competitive with dedicated neutrino experiments.

  3. Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.

  4. Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at Neutrino Experiments and Colliders

    hep-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Collider searches are generally more constraining than neutrino measurements on simplified models of non-standard neutrino interactions, except possibly for muon-philic leptoquarks and certain heavy neutral leptons.
