Description

We consider the disappearance data of the Daya Bay experiment to constrain the parameter space of models where sterile neutrinos can propagate in a large compactified extra dimension (LED) and models where non-standard interactions affect the neutrino production and detection (NSI). I will show that compactification radius R in LED scenarios can be constrained at the level of 0.57μm for normal ordering and of 0.19μm for inverted ordering, at 2σ confidence level. For the NSI model, reactor data put a strong upper bound on the parameter εee at the level of ∼10−3, whereas the main effect of εeμ and εeτ is a worsening of the determination of θ13.
