In this work we study the the sensitivity of the T2HKK experiment to probe non-standard interaction in neutrino propagation. As this experiment will be statistically dominated due to its large detector volume and high beam-power, it is expected that the sensitivity will be affected by systematics. This motivates us to study the effect of systematics in probing the non-standard interaction. We also compare our results with the other future proposed experiments i.e., T2HK, HK and DUNE.

If the flavor dependent non-standard interactions (NSI) in neutrino propagation exist, then the matter effect is modified and the modification is parametrized by the dimensionless parameter $epsilon_{alphabeta}~(alpha,beta=e, mu, tau)$. In this paper we discuss the sensitivity of the T2HKK experiment, whose possibility is now seriously discussed as a future extension of the T2K experiment, to such NSI. On the assumption that $epsilon_{alphamu}=0~(alpha=e, mutau)$ and $epsilon_{tautau}=|epsilon_{etau}|/(1+epsilon_{ee})$, which are satisfied by other experiments to a good approximation, we find that, among the possible off-axis flux configurations of $1.3^circ$, $1.5^circ$, $2.0^circ$ and $2.5^circ$, the case of the off-axis angle $1.3^circ$ gives the highest sensitivity to $epsilon_{ee}$ and $|epsilon_{etau}|$. Our results show that the $1.3^circ$ off-axis configuration can exclude NSI for $|epsilon_{ee}|gtrsim 1$ or $|epsilon_{etau}|gtrsim 0.2$ at 3$sigma$. We also find that in the presence of NSI, T2HKK (for the off-axis angle $1.3^circ$) has better sensitivity to the two CP phases ($delta_{CP}$ and arg($epsilon_{e tau}$)) than DUNE. This is because of the synergy between the two detectors i.e., one at Kamioka and one at Korea. T2HKK has better sensitivity to the CP phases than the atmospheric neutrino experiment at Hyperkamiokande in inverted hierarchy, but in normal hierarchy the atmospheric neutrino experiment has the best sensitivity to the CP phases.
It was suggested that a tension between the mass-squared differences obtained from the solar neutrino and KamLAND experiments can be solved by introducing the non-standard flavor-dependent interaction in neutrino propagation. In this paper we discuss the possibility to test such a hypothesis by atmospheric neutrino observations at the future Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. Assuming that the mass hierarchy is known, we find that the best-fit value from the solar neutrino and KamLAND data can be tested at more than 8 $sigma$, while the one from the global analysis can be examined at 5.0 $sigma$ (1.4 $sigma$) for the normal (inverted) mass hierarchy.

In this talk we discuss the possibility to test the hypothesis, which has been proposed to explain the tension between the mass-squared differences of the solar neutrino and KamLAND experiments by the non-standard flavor-dependent interaction in neut rino propagation, with the atmospheric neutrino observations at the future Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.

We study non-standard interactions (NSIs) at reactor neutrino experiments, and in particular, the mimicking effects on theta_13. We present generic formulas for oscillation probabilities including NSIs from sources and detectors. Instructive mappings between the fundamental leptonic mixing parameters and the effective leptonic mixing parameters are established. In addition, NSI corrections to the mixing angles theta_13 and theta_12 are discussed in detailed. Finally, we show that, even for a vanishing theta_13, an oscillation phenomenon may still be observed in future short baseline reactor neutrino experiments, such as Double Chooz and Daya Bay, due to the existences of NSIs.
T2HK and T2HKK are the proposed extensions of the of T2K experiments in Japan and DUNE is the future long-baseline program of Fermilab. All these three experiments will use extremely high beam power and large detector volumes to observe neutrino osci llation. Because of the large statistics, these experiments will be highly sensitive to systematics. Thus a small change in the systematics can cause a significant change in their sensitivities. To understand this, we do a comparative study of T2HK, T2HKK and DUNE with respect to their systematic errors. Specifically we study the effect of the systematics in the determination of neutrino mass hierarchy, octant of the mixing angle $theta_{23}$ and $delta_{CP}$ in the standard three flavor scenario and also analyze the role of systematic uncertainties in constraining the parameters of the nonstandard interactions in neutrino propagation. Taking the overall systematics for signal and background normalization, we quantify how the sensitivities of these experiments change if the systematics are varied from $1%$ to $7%$.
