| contents | We propose a novel experimental probe of neutrino couplings to a composite sterile sector, leveraging the unique signature of neutrino disintegration into "invisible jets" in high-energy neutrino scattering. Focusing on scenarios where the invisible jet invariant mass significantly exceeds the confinement scale, we compute production rates within the conformal window. In this regime, invisible jet production leads to an energy-dependent enhancement of the neutral-to-charged current ratio in neutrino-nucleus scattering. Using NuTeV measurements, we derive new bounds and assess the sensitivity of upcoming experiments such as SHiP and the Forward Physics Facility at CERN. We sketch models where these probes surpass constraints from electroweak gauge boson and Higgs invisible branching ratios. In contrast, neutrino-electron scattering modifications are suppressed by the lower center-of-mass energy and are unlikely to be observable at DUNE. |
