Abstract
In this work, we investigate the impact of neutrino decay in the presence of non-standard interactions (NSI) along with the effects of the Majorana phase on neutrino decay in matter in the context of two-flavor neutrino oscillations. These effects are studied on neutrino oscillation probabilities Pαβ ≡ P(να → νβ), and the difference for several accelerator and reactor neutrino experiments. We find that for Pαβ, the influence of the Majorana phase on decay in matter can be replicated by the simultaneous presence of both decay and NSI. However, precise measurements of the Pαβ and ΔPαβ observables have the potential to unequivocally identify the presence of the Majorana phase by discerning its effects from the concurrent presence of both decay and NSI.
