Abstract. We discuss effects of new physics (NP) in neutrino

oscillation experiments. Such effects can  modify a production

neutrino flux, a detection cross-section and a matter transition. As

a result, the NP effects change neutrino oscillations both in vacuum

and in matter. A relation between the small effects of NP and the

oscillation parameters is discussed. It is shown for which parameters

the NP effects are suppressed and when they are potentially large.

Oscillations of non-unitary mixed neutrinos are presented in more

details.

 

Keywords. Neutrino oscillations; non-standard physics.
