Description

In this talk, I explore the potential of future small-scale gas TPCs with directional ability to probe neutrino interactions beyond the standard model. Working in the framework of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), we calculate combined energy-angle distributions of electron and nucleus recoils by solar neutrinos to place constraints on NSI parameters. We estimate that with realistic background reduction, a 30$m^3$ detector could reach sensitivities comparable to Borexino.
