“…Pion electroproduction and older neutrino scattering experiments suggest values around m A ∼ 1 GeV [447,591] whereas more recent data from MiniBooNE and K2K favor higher central values up to m A ∼ 1.3 GeV [592,593]. The origin of this discrepancy is unclear and could be a consequence of nuclear medium effects [594] or a deviation from the dipole form [595].…”

We review the spectrum and electromagnetic properties of baryons described as relativistic three-quark bound states within QCD. The composite nature of baryons results in a rich excitation spectrum, whilst leading to highly non-trivial structural properties explored by the coupling to external (electromagnetic and other) currents. Both present many unsolved problems despite decades of experimental and theoretical research. We discuss the progress in these fields from a theoretical perspective, focusing on nonperturbative QCD as encoded in the functional approach via Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations. We give a systematic overview as to how results are obtained in this framework and explain technical connections to lattice QCD. We also discuss the mutual relations to the quark model, which still serves as a reference to distinguish 'expected' from 'unexpected' physics. We confront recent results on the spectrum of non-strange and strange baryons, their form factors and the issues of two-photon processes and Compton scattering determined in the DysonSchwinger framework with those of lattice QCD and the available experimental data. The general aim is to identify the underlying physical mechanisms behind the plethora of observable phenomena in terms of the underlying quark and gluon degrees of freedom.

“…The results for the total cross sections obtained in [16] within the HO+FSI and NO+FSI are given in figure 3 and compared with the SuSA and RFG results and the MiniBooNE [3,4] and NOMAD [9] data (up to 100 GeV). All models give results that agree with the NOMAD data but underpredict the MiniBooNE ones, more seriously in the ν µ than in ν µ cases.…”

“…These effects have sometimes been simulated, in the Relativistic Fermi Gas (RFG) framework, by a value of the nucleon axial-vector dipole mass M A = 1.35 GeV [3,4], which is significantly larger than the standard value M A = 1.03 GeV extracted from neutrinodeuterium quasielastic scattering. On the other hand, higher-energy data from the NOMAD experiment (E ν ∼ 3 − 100 GeV) [9] are well accounted for by IA models [10]. The MINERνA experiment is situated in between these two energy regions and its interpretation can therefore provide valuable information on the longstanding problem of assessing the role of correlations and meson exchange currents (MEC) in the nuclear dynamics [11][12][13].…”

Abstract. We compare the characteristics of the charged-current quasielastic (anti)neutrino scattering obtained in two different nuclear models, the phenomenological SuperScaling Approximation and the model using a realistic spectral function S(p, E) that gives a scaling function in accordance with the (e, e ) scattering data, with the recent data published by the MiniBooNE, MINERνA, and NOMAD collaborations. The spectral function accounts for the nucleon-nucleon (NN ) correlations by using natural orbitals from the Jastrow correlation method and has a realistic energy dependence. Both models provide a good description of the MINERνA and NOMAD data without the need of an ad hoc increase of the value of the mass parameter in the axial-vector dipole form factor. The models considered in this work, based on the the impulse approximation (IA), underpredict the MiniBooNE data for the flux-averaged charged-current quasielastic ν µ(νµ) + 12 C differential cross section per nucleon and the total cross sections, although the shape of the cross sections is represented by the approaches. The discrepancy is most likely due to missing of the effects beyond the IA, e.g., those of the 2p-2h meson exchange currents that have contribution in the transverse responses.

“…The change in efficiency if the data sample were purely DIS is shown in figure 95. Although experimental data are available confirming the presence of non-DIS interactions in the energy region of interest, there are significant errors in the transition regions (see for example [322,323]). These errors lead to an uncertainty in the proportion of the different types of interaction that can affect the efficiencies.…”

“…As an illustration of the method, consider the contribution from QE interactions. Taking the binned errors on the cross-section measurements from [322,323], a run to reduce the QE content would exclude a proportion of events in a bin so that instead of contributing a proportion:…”
