“…However, MINERvA also has passive targets which are used to produce a neutrino interaction target dependence results [111,112]. The charge separation at the down stream MINOS near detector can distinguish neutrino and antineutrino interactions [113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121], and the high segmentation and timing of the detector allows various particle identifications [122][123][124][125][126]. Data are taken from MINOS period to NOvA period of NuMI, which means the averaged neutrino energy of earlier MINERvA data are with NuMI low energy configuration (∼3 GeV), and later data are taken with NuMI medium energy configuration (∼ 7GeV).…”

Abstract. Neutrino oscillations physics is entered in the precision era. In this context accelerator-based neutrino experiments need a reduction of systematic errors to the level of a few percent. Today one of the most important sources of systematic errors are neutrinonucleus cross sections which in the hundreds-MeV to few-GeV energy region are known with a precision not exceeding 20%. In this article we review the present experimental and theoretical knowledge of the neutrino-nucleus interaction physics. After introducing neutrino oscillation physics and accelerator-based neutrino experiments, we overview general aspects of the neutrino-nucleus cross sections, both theoretical and experimental views. Then, we focus on these quantities in different reaction channels. We start with the quasielastic and quasielastic-like cross section, putting a special emphasis on multinucleon emission channel which attracted a lot of attention in the last few years. We review the main aspects of the different microscopic models for this channel by discussing analogies and differences among them. The discussion is always driven by a comparison with the experimental data. We then consider the one pion production channel where data-theory agreement remains very unsatisfactory. We describe how to interpret pion data, then we analyze in particular the puzzle related to the impossibility of theoretical models and Monte Carlo to simultaneously describe MiniBooNE and MINERvA experimental results. Inclusive cross sections are also discussed, as well as the comparison between the ν µ and ν e cross sections, relevant for the CP violation experiments. The impact of the nuclear effects on the reconstruction of neutrino energy and on the determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters is reviewed. A window to the future is finally opened by discussing projects and efforts in future detectors, beams, and analysis.

“…In this chapter, we discuss about the strong interaction, the importance of neutrino induced kaon production, some beyond standard model physics (proton decay searches), different neutrino induced kaon production mechanisms, and current measurements of strange particle production. The most of the information mentioned in this chapter is based on the material isted in the References [22] [23] [43] .…”
