摘要

We compare the sensitivity of the upcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments Protvino to Super-ORCA (P2SO) and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to non-unitarity (NU) of the leptonic mixing matrix in a model-independent framework. NU can arise in theories beyond the Standard Model that include heavy neutral leptons. These effects can modify neutrino oscillation probabilities and introduce new sources of CP violation, which may affect precision measurements of neutrino parameters. We find that DUNE provides stronger bounds on α11 and |α21|, while P2SO shows better sensitivity to α22 and α33, mainly due to its longer baseline and stronger matter effects. Our results show that DUNE (P2SO) will be able to improve the current bounds of α11 (α33). We further examine correlations with standard oscillation parameters and quantify the impact of NU on mass hierarchy, octant, and CP-violation sensitivities. Our results show that these sensitivities depend upon NU in a non-trivial way interconnecting the parameter degeneracies and matter effects. Our results demonstrate the complementarity of P2SO and DUNE in probing NU and show that NU can significantly influence next-generation precision oscillation studies.
