Testing non-standard neutrino interactions in (anti)-electron neutrino disappearance experiments

Abstract

We search for scalar and tensor non-standard interactions using (anti)-electron neutrino disappearance in oscillation data. We found a slight preference for non-zero CP violation, coming from both tensor and scalar interactions. The preference for CP violation is lead by Daya Bay low-energy data with a significance that reaches $\sim 1.7\sigma$ in the global analysis (and $\sim 2.1\sigma$ when considering only medium baseline reactors data) compared to the standard neutrino oscillation scenario.
