Abstract
We perform a simulation on the DUNE experiment to probe the capability of future neutrino long-baseline experiments to constrain the parameter space of high-energy models by using the correlation between the atmospheric and reactor mixing angles. As an example, we analyze the tetrahedral flavor symmetry model, which predicts a strong relation between the nonzero value of and a deviation of from maximality. We show that in this case, the model can realistically be excluded by more than for most of the parameter space. We also study the octant degeneracy at DUNE and its impact on the sensitivity of such models.
