“…We demonstrated that the study of exclusive channels like D or D * charmed meson production are very complementary to the hadronic program of electron facilities such as JLab, by giving access to elusive quantities like the quark or gluon transversity GPDS. We believe that planned high energy neutrino experiments such as Minerve and Minos+ [10,11] which have their scientific program oriented toward the understanding of neutrino oscillations will collect more statistics and will thus allow some nice progress in the realm of hadronic physics.…”

Exclusive electro-weak processes have peculiar features which make them complementary to usually discussed deeply virtual electroproduction processes such as deep virtual Compton scattering or meson production (and the corresponding crossed reactions). They allow in particular single charmed meson production, which we study in two different contexts : electroproduction at an electron ion collider and neutrino-production at a medium energy neutrino facility. We rely on the QCD collinear factorization framework where generalized parton distributions allow physicists to perform a nucleon tomography.

“…We have selected the two most common neutrino event generators: Generates Events for Neutrino Interaction Experiments (GENIE) v-3.0.6 [18] and NuWro [19] version 19.01 to perform our studies that are currently being used by most of the neutrino experiments in the USA and other coun- tries. GENIE is being used by many neutrino baseline experiments running around the world, such as Minerva [20], MINOS [21], MicroBooNE [14], NOvA [22], and ArgoNEUT [23] experiments. NuWro has been developed by a group of physicists Cezary Juszczak et al at the Wroclaw University [19] and is now being used as a complementary neutrino events generator by most neutrino experiments.…”

Uncertainties Due to Hadronic Production in Final-State Interactions at Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility

Recent neutrino oscillation experiments used high atomic number nuclear targets to attain sufficient interaction rates. The use of these complex targets introduced systematic uncertainties due to the nuclear effects in the experimental observables and need to be measured properly to pin down the discovery. Through this simulation work, we are trying to quantify the nuclear effects in the argon (Ar) target in comparison to hydrogen (H) target which are proposed to be used at Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment far detector and near detector, respectively. Generated Events for Neutrino Interaction Experiments and NuWro, two neutrino event generators, are used to construct final state kinematics. To quantify the systematic uncertainties in the observables, we present the ratio of the oscillation probabilities (P(Ar)/P(H)) as a function of the reconstructed neutrino energy.

“…Calorimeters measure the visible energy deposited by the final-state particles associated with each event. They were used in MINOS [39] and NOvA [40] experiments. In these experiments, the total energy deposited by all reaction products is measured without a prior reconstruction of the track, momentum, or energy of each final-state particle.…”

In neutrino-nucleus interactions, the particles produced at the primary vertex may be different from the particles observed in the final state. This is due to the effect of final-state interactions (FSI) on the particles during their transport in the nuclear matter to reach the detector (final state) after their production at the primary vertex. In this report, the energy reconstruction is done for charged current quasielastic (CCQE) and charged current resonance (CCRES) scatterings on the event-by-event basis using the calorimetric method, and NuWro and GENIE simulation tools. In addition, the percentage of fake events in CCQE and CCRES interactions is presented. It is found that the percentage of fake events is more than 50% for both CCQE and CCRES processes for both the generators, if we apply the condition for the signal events that the particles observed in the final state should be the same as the particles produced at the primary vertex. Based on our definition of signal events, the reconstructed energy and number of fake events may change, and this influences the measurement of oscillation parameters in long-baseline experiments like DUNE.
