A New Generation of Neutrino Cross Section Experiments: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract: Our knowledge of neutrino cross sections at the GeV scale, instrumental to test CP symmetry violation in the leptonic sector, has grown substantially in the last two decades. Still, their precision and understanding are far from the standard needed in contemporary neutrino physics. Nowadays, the knowledge of the neutrino cross section at O(10%) causes the main systematic uncertainty in oscillation experiments and jeopardizes their physics reach. In this paper, we envision the opportunities for a new generation… Show more

“…Argon detectors are used in the context of the short-baseline Fermilab neutrino program [4] aimed at the investigation of the possible existence of a sterile neutrino, a topic recently revived by new MicroBooNE measurements [5][6][7]. Argon nucleus will also be used in DUNE, one of the next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments [8]. Recently, after the pioneering measurements by Ar-goNeuT [9], three muon neutrino differential cross sections on argon have been published by the MicroBooNE collaboration: firstly the inclusive double differential cross section [10] which includes all charged-current events in which one muon is detected, second the differential cross sections characterized by the emission of one muon and one proton in the final state, called CC0π1p [11], and finally the differential cross sections with zero pion and any number of protons in the final state, called CC0πNp [12].…”

“…Two models put more emphasis on the relativistic aspect of the problem, which is crucial in the GeV regime typical of oscillation experiments, as well as on the validation with electron scattering results: the Relativistic Green Function model [10] and the SuSAv2 model, based on the superscaling behaviour of electron scattering data and its description within relativistic mean field theory (see [11][12][13] for recent reviews of this approach). Nevertheless, all these models provide rather similar predictions for inclusive observables, with a typical spread of 10-20% [14], while the present experimental precision does not allow for discriminating between them. On the contrary, more exclusive measurements can better constrain nuclear models and hence help to reduce the…”

“…Nevertheless, detectors using complementary techniques are needed to decouple the cross section from detector effects and thus improve the interaction models. Therefore, a facility based on different detection techniques would be highly desirable for a future next generation neutrino nucleus cross section measurement program [14].…”
