Abstract
We show that the decoherence phenomena applied to the neutrino system could lead to an observable breaking of the fundamental symmetry. We require specific textures of nondiagonal decoherence matrices, with nonzero , for making such observations. Using the information from the conjugate channels and and their corresponding backgrounds, we have estimated the sensitivity of the DUNE experiment for testing under the previous conditions. Four scenarios for energy-dependent decoherence parameters, , , 0, 1, and 2, are taken into account, and for most of them, DUNE is able to achieve a discovery potential, having in for . Meanwhile, for , we reach for in .
