Effects of the violation of the equivalence principle at DUNE

A number of di erent e ects of the violation of the Equivalence Principle (VEP),
taken as sub-leading mechanism of neutrino
avor oscillation, are examined within
the framework of the DUNE experiment. We study the possibility of obtaining a
misleading neutrino oscillation parameter region caused by our unawareness of VEP.
Additionally, we evaluate the impact on the measurement of CP violation and the
distinction of neutrino mass hierarchy at DUNE. Besides, limits on VEP for a wide
variety of textures of the matrix that connects neutrino gravity eigenstates to
avor
eigenstates are imposed. An extra-task of our study is to set limits on Hamiltonian
added terms considering di erent energy dependencies (En, with n = 0; 1; 2; 3) that
can be associated to the usual Lorentz violating terms de ned in the Standard
Model Extension Hamiltonian. In order to understand our results, approximated
analytical three neutrino oscillation probability formulae are derived. / Trabajo de investigación
