“…MINERνA also made cross-correlations between the neutrino and antineutrino datasets available in a data release after the publication of their CCQE papers. The correlation matrices released include both shape and normalization errors, but it is possible to extract shape-only correlation matrices using the method given in Reference [61]. The full matrix including both shape and normalization errors included is shown in Figure 5.…”

The MiniBooNE large axial mass anomaly has prompted a great deal of theoretical work on sophisticated Charged Current Quasi-Elastic (CCQE) neutrino interaction models in recent years. As the dominant interaction mode at T2K energies, and the signal process in oscillation analyses, it is important for the T2K experiment to include realistic CCQE cross section uncertainties in T2K analyses. To this end, T2K's Neutrino Interaction Working Group has implemented a number of recent models in NEUT, T2K's primary neutrino interaction event generator. In this paper, we give an overview of the models implemented, and present fits to published νµ and νµ CCQE cross section measurements from the MiniBooNE and MINERνA experiments. The results of the fits are used to select a default cross section model for future T2K analyses, and to constrain the cross section uncertainties of the model. We find a model consisting of a modified relativistic Fermi gas model and multinucleon interactions most consistently describes the available data.

“…Estimation of the initial neutrino energy (E ν ) and fourmomentum transfer squared (Q 2 ) of the interaction assumes an initial state nucleon at rest with a constant binding energy, E b , which we set to +30 MeV based on electron scattering data [27,28] and estimates of Coulomb and asymmetry (Pauli) energy effects from the semi-empirical mass formula for nuclei [29]. Under this quasi-elastic hypothesis, denoted by QE,…”

We have isolatedνµ charged-current quasi-elastic interactions occurring in the segmented scintillator tracking region of the MINERvA detector running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross-section, dσ/dQ 2 , and compare to several theoretical models of quasi-elastic scattering. Good agreement is obtained with a model where the nucleon axial mass, MA, is set to 0.99 GeV/c 2 but the nucleon vector form factors are modified to account for the observed enhancement, relative to the free nucleon case, of the cross-section for the exchange of transversely polarized photons in electron-nucleus scattering. Our data at higher Q 2 favor this interpretation over an alternative in which the axial mass is increased.

The MiniBooNE NCEL and CCQE cross-section measurements (neutrino running) are used to set limits in the ∆m 2 − sin 2 ϑµs plane for a 3+1 sterile neutrino model with a mass splitting 0.1 ≤ ∆m 2 ≤ 10.0 eV 2 . GENIE is used, with a relativistic Fermi gas model, to relate Eν and the reconstructed quantities measured. The issue of uncertainty in the underlying crosssection model and its effect on the sterile neutrino limits is explored, and robust sterile neutrino limits are produced by fitting the sterile parameters and the axial-mass cross-section parameter simultaneously.
