Event rates for nu_e and anti-nu_e appearance oscillations reported by the MINOS and T2K long baseline experiments are used to set constraints on the strength of the non-standard interaction epsilon_{e tau}V_e matter potential. The ranges allowed for the magnitude and phase of epsilon_{e tau} are delineated for scenarios wherein i) other non-standard interactions for neutrinos propagating through the terrestrial crust are negligible, and ii) the real-valued, flavor-diagonal couplings epsilon_{e e} and epsilon_{tau tau} are also operative. Our analysis makes use of accurate analytic forms for the nu_e amplitude A(nu_mu --> nu_e) describing neutrino oscillation in constant-density matter in the presence of epsilon_{e tau}, epsilon_{e e} and epsilon_{tau tau} non- standard interactions.

We report new constraints on flavor-changing non-standard neutrino interactions from the MINOS long-baseline experiment using $ u_{e}$ and $bar{ u}_{e}$ appearance candidate events from predominantly $ u_{mu}$ and $bar{ u}_{mu}$ beams. We used a stat
istical selection algorithm to separate $ u_{e}$ candidates from background events, enabling an analysis of the combined MINOS neutrino and antineutrino data. We observe no deviations from standard neutrino mixing, and thus place constraints on the non-standard interaction matter effect, $|varepsilon_{etau}|$, and phase, $(delta_{CP}+delta_{etau})$, using a thirty-bin likelihood fit.
Given the elusive nature of neutrinos, their self-interaction is particularly difficult to probe. Nevertheless, upper limits on the strength of such an interaction can be set by using data from terrestrial experiments. In this work we focus on additi
onal contributions to the invisible decay width of $Z$ boson as well as the leptonic $tau$ decay width in the presence of a neutrino coupling to a relatively light scalar. For invisible $Z$ decays we derive a complete set of constraints by considering both three-body bremsstrahlung as well as the loop correction to two-body decays. While the latter is usually regarded to give rather weak limits we find that through the interference with the Standard Model diagram it actually yields a competitive constraint. As far as leptonic decays of $tau$ are concerned, we derive a first limit on neutrino self-interactions that is valid across the whole mass range of a light scalar mediator. Our bounds on the neutrino self-interaction are leading for $m_phi gtrsim 300$ MeV and interactions that prefer $ u_tau$. Bounds on such $ u$-philic scalar are particularly relevant in light of the recently proposed alleviation of the Hubble tension in the presence of such couplings.
Using 1.8 million DDbar pairs and a neutrino reconstruction technique, we have studied the decays D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e, D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e, and D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ nu_e. We find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> p
i^0 e^+ nu_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106).
Using a sample of 1.8 million DDbar meson pairs collected at the psi(3770) with the CLEO-c detector, we study the semileptonic decays D^0 -> pi^- e^+ nu_e, D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e, D^0 -> K^- e^+ u_e, and D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e. For the total branching
fractions we find B(D^0 -> pi^- e^+ u_e) = 0.299(11)(9)%, B(D^+ -> pi^0 e^+ u_e) = 0.373(22)(13)%, B(D^0 -> K^- e^+ nu_e) = 3.56(3)(9)%, and B(D^+ -> Kbar^0 e^+ nu_e) = 8.53(13)(23)%, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. In addition, form factors are studied through fits to the partial branching fractions obtained in five q^2 ranges. By combining our results with recent unquenched lattice calculations, we obtain |Vcd| = 0.217(9)(4)(23) and |Vcs| = 1.015(10)(11)(106), where the final error is theoretical.
The long baseline neutrino experiments, T2K and NOvA, have taken significant amount of data in each of the four channels: (a) $ u_mu$ disappearance, (b) $bar u_mu$ disappearance (c) $ u_e$ appearance and (d) $bar u_e$ appearance. There is a mild tens
ion between the disappearance and the appearance data sets of T2K. A more serious tension exists between the $ u_e$ appearance data of T2K and the $ u_e / bar u_e$ appearance data of NOvA. This tension is significant enough that T2K rules out the best-fit point of NOvA at $95%$ confidence level whereas NOvA rules out T2K best-fit point at $90%$ confidence level. We explain the reason why these tensions arise. We also do a combined fit of T2K and NOvA data and comment on the results of this fit.
