Description

We investigate the interference effects of non-standard neutrino-matter interactions (NSNI) with the mass-induced neutrino oscillations. The NSNI is composed of flavor-changing neutrino interactions (FCNI) and flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions (FDNI). Both of the interactions are introduced in the ��_��-��_��sector and the ��_e -��_��sector in order to study their effects in ��_��\to��_��and ��_��\to��_e oscillations, respectively. The FCNI effect proves to possibly dominate the CP violating effect and significantly survive as a fake CP violating effct in the neutrino energy region where the pure CP violating effect, ordinary matter effect and FDNI effect fall, for example, above 4 GeV at the baseline of L=730 km in the ��_��\to��_��oscillation for the maximum parameter values of FCNI and FDNI allowed by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation data. The FCNI and FDNI effects on CP violation in the $��_��\to��_e$ oscillation are negligibly small due to the stringent constraints on FCNI from the bounds on lepton flavor violating processes and on FDNI from the limits on lepton universality violation.
