Description

The first joint analysis of data from the NOvA and T2K neutrino oscillations experiments was published in 2025, offering the most precise measurements of the larger mass splitting $\Delta m_{32}^{2}$, the largest mixing angle $\theta_{23}$, and the CP-violating phase $\delta_{CP}$ available at the time.  In addition to working towards a reanalysis with additional data collected since that analysis, the collaborations are now exploring possible constraints on BSM physics scenarios.  This poster will discuss the potential of a joint measurement of parameters in a framework treating effective non-standard neutral-current neutrino-matter interactions, NC-NSI.  Uniquely, the differing baselines and energies of T2K and NOvA allow strong constraints to be set on the electron-muon and electron-tau parameters of NSI contributions to the Hamiltonian, while at the same time maintaining good sensitivity to the standard 3-flavor neutrino oscillations parameters, including the CP phase.
