Absolute values of nonstandard interaction parameters in ν_{e}e and ν_{e}e-scatterings

We present a novel approach for constraining nonstandard neutrino interaction (NSI) coupling parameters (ε_{ee}^{eL} and ε_{ee}^{eR}) in low energy flavor conserving ν_{e}e and ν_{e}e-scattering processes. Here we exploit an important phenomenon of interference and assuming that ε_{ee}^{eL} and ε_{ee}^{eR} are same for both the processes as g_{L} and g_{R} in the standard model (SM). Using this approach we obtain the absolute values ε_{ee}^{eL}=8.7x10^-3 and ε_{ee}^{eR}=3.8x10^-1, while the bounds obtained using the said processes are -0.11<ε_{ee}^{eL}<0.13 and 0.35<ε_{ee}^{eR}<0.41. It is noteworthy that the lower bound on ε_{ee}^{eR} exclude the negative region. Furthermore, our bounds on ε_{ee}^{eR} are more stringent than the existing ones.

Nonstandard interactions and interference effect in low energy ν_{e}e-scattering process

We calculated the size and sign of interference (I) in elastic ν_{e}e-scattering process in the presence of nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI). The size of interference predicted by standard model (SM) is -1.09, while that measured in the LSND experiment is -1.01\pm0.18. Using the current bounds on NSI from the literature,we get I= -1.02, which is compatible with experiment . The result indicates that nonstandard current interferes constructively with the charge and neutral currents (CC and NC) of the SM, while the over all -ev sign (distructive) indicates that the dominant contribution is still from the SM, yet we can not ignore the contribution of NSI, as it enhances our knowledge in terms of known physical phenomena. As an offshoot of this analysis, the best bounds on NSI coupling parameters could be chosen.
