“…From 2019, there is another off-axis (1.5 o ) detector WAGASCI in operation which measures cross section with slightly higher neutrino energy and wider angular acceptance than ND280. The far detector Super-Kamiokande (SK) measures the oscillated muon neutrino and electron neutrino spectra with water Cherenkov technology, which enables precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle 23 and mass difference |Δ 2 32 |, at the same time probing 13 and the CP-violating phase . Inside ND280, where most of the cross section measurements take place, there are two Fine Grained Detectors (FGDs), which act as both neutrino target and scintillation trackers.…”

One of the largest systematic uncertainties affecting neutrino oscillation measurement comes from present limited knowledge of (anti-)neutrino-nucleus interactions. Neutrino scattering understanding is crucial for the interpretation of neutrino oscillation since it affects background estimation and neutrino energy reconstruction. Thus, precise (anti-)neutrino-nucleus cross section measurements are vital for the present and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, in addition to its contributions to neutrino oscillation measurement, has a wide program of neutrino interaction cross section measurements using its near detector complex. With multiple targets (hydrocarbon, water, argon, iron), and with on-and off-axis detectors which sample different neutrino spectra from the same beamline, T2K is able to investigate atomic number and energy dependent behavior in a single experiment. In this proceeding an overview of the T2K neutrino cross sections, focusing on the latest results is presented.

Data-based two-body current contribution to the neutrino-nucleus cross section

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A phenomenological model of two-body current (2p2h) contribution to neutrino cross section is introduced. Predictions of the Valencia model for 2p2h [J. Nieves et al., Phys. Rev. C 83, 045501 (2011)] are modified using recent CC0π measurements from T2K and MINERvA experiments. Our results suggest a significant increase of the 2p2h cross section at neutrino energies bigger than 1 GeV and also a redistribution of 2p2h events as function of energy and momentum transfer. This may have a big impact on neutrino energy reconstruction in neutrino oscillation parameters.

show abstract

“…Therefore, the 2p2h interactions involved in the selected events bias the reconstructed neutrino energy. In T2K, neutrino interactions are measured and studied using the near detectors [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, at present, the measurement of the 2p2h interaction is poor, because the momentum threshold for protons is not sufficiently low to detect all the protons from the neutrino interactions.…”

This paper reports the track multiplicity and kinematics of muons, charged pions, and protons from charged-current inclusiveν μ and ν μ interactions on a water target, measured using a nuclear emulsion detector in the NINJA experiment. A 3-kg water target was exposed to the T2K antineutrino-enhanced beam corresponding to 7.1 × 10 20 protons on target with a mean energy of 1.3 GeV. Owing to the high granularity of the nuclear emulsion, protons with momenta down to 200 MeV=c from the neutrino-water interactions were detected. We find good agreement between the observed data and model predictions for all kinematic distributions other than the number of charged pions and the muon kinematics shapes. These results demonstrate the capability of measurements with nuclear emulsion to improve neutrino interaction models.
