Title: Identification of nuclear effects in neutrino-carbon interactions at low three-momentum transfer

Abstract

Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current νμ interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and Δ(1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and Δ resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also have an enhanced population of multiproton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Furthermore, improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.

Measurement of $ν_{μ}$ charged-current single $π^{0}$ production on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region using MINERvA

Journal Article Altinok, O. ; Le, T. ; Aliaga, L. ; ... - Physical Review D

In this paper, the semiexclusive channel ν_μ + CH → μ^–π⁰ + nucleon(s) is analyzed using MINERvA exposed to the low-energy NuMI ν_μ beam with spectral peak at E_ν ≃ 3 GeV. Differential cross sections for muon momentum and production angle, π⁰ kinetic energy and production angle, and for squared four-momentum transfer are reported, and the cross section σ(E_ν) is obtained over the range 1.5 GeV ≤ E_ν < 20 GeV. Results are compared to GENIE and NuWro predictions and to published MINERvA cross sections for charged-current π⁺(π⁰) production by ν_μ(¯ν_μ) neutrinos. Disagreements between data and simulation are observed atmore »« less

Anti-Neutrino Charged Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering in MINER$$\nu$$A

Thesis/Dissertation Chvojka, Jesse John

The phenomenon of neutrino oscillation is becoming increasingly understood with results from accelerator-based and reactor-based experiments, but unanswered questions remain. The proper ordering of the neutrino mass eigenstates that compose the neutrino avor eigenstates is not completely known. We have yet to detect CP violation in neutrino mixing, which if present could help explain the asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the universe. We also have not resolved whether sterile neutrinos, which do not interact in any Standard Model interaction, exist. Accelerator-based experiments appear to be the most promising candidates for resolving these questions; however, the ability of present andmore »« less

Electroweak pion production on nuclei within the extended factorization scheme

Journal Article Rocco, Noemi ; Nakamura, Satoshi X. ; Lee, T. -S. H. ; ... - Physical Review C

We have applied the extended factorization scheme to investigate the electroweak pion production on nuclei. The ANL-Osaka model, which was obtained by analyzing the data of πN, γN, N(e,e'π), and N(ν,μπ) reactions up to invariant mass W=2GeV, is used to generate the matrix elements of current operators relevant to pion production off the nucleon. Medium effects on the Δ (1232) component of the meson-exchange current are included by using a Δ-nucleus potential determined from the previous Δ-hole model studies of pion-nucleus reactions. Nuclear correlations in the initial target state and in the spectator system(s) are modeled using realistic hole spectral functions. Asmore »« less

Simultaneous measurement of visible energy and momentum transfer in anti-electron neutrino interactions on hydrocarbon

Thesis/Dissertation Henry, Sarah

Precise knowledge of neutrino interaction cross sections is required for current and future accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments. Precision neutrino oscillation measurements require inference of the neutrino energy and flavor from the visible particles in the neutrino interaction in the detector. This inference is different for the true neutrino flavors measured, electron and muon neutrinos, and can be studied by observation of neutrino interactions in an experiment’s near detector. However, anti-electron neutrinos make up only a few percent of an anti-muon neutrino beam and pose a challenge in making cross section measurements and predictions. The reported measurements were made using datamore »« less
