| contents | A neutrino factory is a potential successor to the upcoming generation of neutrino oscillation experiments and a possible precursor to next-generation muon colliders. Such a machine would provide a well-characterized beam of $ν_μ$, $\barν_μ$, $ν_e$, and $\barν_e$ neutrinos with comparable statistics. Here we show the sensitivity of a neutrino factory to new oscillation physics scenarios such as vector neutrino non-standard interactions and CPT violation. We study two different potential setups for a neutrino factory with different assumptions on charge identification in the far detector. We find that 10 years of a neutrino factory combined with 10 years of DUNE can improve over most of the current constraints on these scenarios and even over forecasted constraints by 20 years of DUNE. Additionally, we find that a neutrino factory can break degeneracies between the standard oscillation parameters and neutrino non-standard interaction parameters present at DUNE. |
