Description

The latest data of the two long-baseline accelerator experiments NOvA and T2K, interpreted in the standard 3-flavor scenario, display a tension. A mismatch in the determination of the standard CP-phase delta_CP extracted by the two experiments is evident in the normal neutrino mass ordering. In this talk, we show that such a discrepancy can be resolved if one hypothesizes the existence of complex neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI) of the flavor changing type.
