non-zero 1 3 vs FC-NSI in the solar neutrino sector Existing analyses show a weak preference ( sigma) for non-zero 13 in the (Solar + KamLAND) analysis. Comes from sol-KL “clash” A similar hint is found in some atm analyses. A weak preference also evidenced in the MINOS data in the -> e appearance channel Though very weak note that solar transitions are dominated by matter effects, while the oscillations seen in KamLAND occur in the earth crust, where matter effects are negligible. What if nsi are present? JV5
Impact of FC NSI We expect a degeneracy between 13 and FC … 1,2 sigma positive nsi values shift LMA towards bigger 12 alleviating the tension with KamLAND, the same way as a non-zero 13 A.

Future reactors (Double-CHOOZ, Daya-Bay, RENO) will give a “clean” measure of 13, unaffected by NSI effects. non-confirmation of current 13 hints + persisting tension between solar and KamLAND would pose a new problem in the “solar sector” which might require NSI or other possible unaccounted effects JV19
