Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) are the neutrino detectors of choice for novel oscillation experiments such as SBND, MicroBooNE, ICARUS, and DUNE because of their tracking, calorimetry, and particle identification capabilities. The Liquid Argon in a Testbeam (LArIAT) experiment was designed to measure new physical quantities as well as calibrate LArTPCs to the different...
Precise understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions are required by the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to answer outstanding questions in neutrino physics. MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment at Fermilab that measures cross sections in various nuclear targets using a segmented scintillator based tracking detector and two types of calorimeters....
Planning for future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments has revealed that neutrons produced by neutrino interactions could contribute significantly to the total uncertainty budget for DUNE with present models. Neutrino-produced neutrons that go undetected can skew energy reconstruction and cause events to be misclassified. The MINERvA experiment at Fermilab has demonstrated that...
The sensitivity of future neutrino experiments to oscillation parameters and BSM physics is highly dependent on the reduction of theoretical nuclear modeling systematics within the quasielastic regime. The usage of highly phenomenological or even classical nuclear models of Fermi motion, as well as nontrivial and inconsistent reweighting schemes, only adds to these woes. Also, many neutrino...
