Impact of low-energy nuclear excitations on neutrino-nucleus scattering at MiniBooNE and T2K kinematics
Impact of low-energy nuclear excitations on neutrino-nucleus scattering at MiniBooNE and T2K kinematics
[Background] Meticulous modeling of neutrino-nucleus interactions is essential to achieve the unprecedented precision goals of present and future accelerator-based neutrino-oscillation experiments. [Purpose] Confront our calculations of charged-current quasielastic cross section with the measurements of MiniBooNE and T2K, and to quantitatively investigate the role of nuclear-structure effects, in particular, low-energy nuclear …
