Description

Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an upcoming long baseline neutrino oscilla- tion experiment with discovery of CP violation as its important primary goal. Additionally, DUNE is also sensitive to effects due to new physics which can interfere with inferences pertaining to un- known parameters especially the leptonic CP phase. In the present Letter, we combine experimental feasibility together with theoretical requirements and propose a metric for separating physics scenar- ios at DUNE. Using our metric, we obtain an optimal combination of beam tunes and distribution of run times in neutrino and anti-neutrino modes that are helpful to isolate new physics scenarios from the standard. To the best of our knowledge, our strategy is entirely new and has not been reported elsewhere.
