Description
The quest of precision and new physics search at intensity frontier experiments relies greatly on the precision with which the neutrino interaction with target nucleus is understood. In this talk, I will present nuclear many body calculations within Hartree-Fock and continuum RPA approach for electro- and neutrino-nucleus scattering. The approach covers processes from threshold to giant-resonances to quasi elastic region. I will present their comparison with electron- and neutrino-nucleus cross section data. A qualitative and quantitative comparison of different RPA-based approaches will be presented. Furthermore, the differences between electron-neutrino and muon-neutrino cross sections will be briefly discussed. Finally, I will present the recent cross section results from Ar(e,e') experiment at Jefferson lab.
