Description

Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter are important to understand, as they could significantly alter the standard 3-neutrino oscillation paradigm. While vector NSI contribute as a change in the matter potential for the propagating neutrinos, scalar NSI show up as a correction to the neutrino mass matrix. In this talk, we will discuss the field-theoretic origin of scalar NSI as an effect at finite density. We will also discuss various terrestrial and space-based experimental constraints on the scalar NSI parameter space.
