Description

The Lorentz invariance violation (LV) arises at Planck scale, as a consequence of merging standard model and gravity. Though LV effects are naturally highly supressed at low energy, possible measurable effects are predicted in sensitive channels as neutrino oscillations. In this channel, LV operates both by modifying the PMNS oscillations at far detector, but also predicting new oscillations at short distance. Because of its very high statistics, we focused in this talk on the INGRID near detector. Using the high intensity beam, we will first introduce the nu_mu INGRID selection to detect a possible LV effect through nu_mu disappearance. We will then discuss the T2HK experiment sensitivity by applying a similar method than T2K's. Finally, we will show how LV sensitivity reaches new bounds in neutrino experiments compared to previous generation as MINOS or MiniBooNE.
