Measurement of inclusive charged-current $ν_{\numu}$ scattering on hydrocarbon at {} 6 GeV with low three-momentum transfer

Simultaneous measurement of proton and lepton kinematics in quasielastic-like $ν_μ$-hydrocarbon interactions from 2 to 20 GeV

“…In pion production, such an effect may arise either from over-prediction of the baryon-resonance pion production cross sections or from too-small suppression of primary pions due to FSI. A low Q 2 suppression of resonant pion production [18,59] or a reduction in the visible energy from these events [33], as Fig. 2 also suggests, would improve agreement with this data.…”

“…1 has received repeated experimental scrutiny; however only single-or doubledifferential cross sections in muon kinematics have been reported, mostly carried out with ν µ of incident energies, E ν , of sub-GeV to few GeV [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. This Letter reports a new measurement of the quasielastic-like channel in which the final-state muon transverse (p t ) and longitudinal (p || ) momenta are measured in each event simultaneously with the total "available" (calorimetrically visible) recoil energy (E available ) used in previous analyses of data from MINERvA [13,32,33]. Since the signal requires final state muon plus nucleons only, E available is the sum of the kinetic energies of all protons, denoted ΣT p .…”

Event Generators for High-Energy Physics Experiments

“…At the kinematics similar to that of DUNE, the MINERvA Collaboration performed dedicated studies of neutrino cross sections. The collaboration demonstrated that existing Monte Carlo generators were not able to consistently explain all of the collected data, no matter which generator or which tune was used [1109][1110][1111]. Particularly dire problems were observed for pion production, where measurements for different channels within the same experiment could not be reconciled.…”

Theory of QED radiative corrections to neutrino scattering at accelerator energies

“…Previous studies have used the kinematic dependence of data-theory comparisons to constrain uncertain nucleon and nuclear parameters, e.g., providing measurements of axial nucleon form factors [47,[123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133]171], multi-nucleon processes, or other nuclear effects [201,202]. The corrections to tree-level predictions in this work can be used to determine the impact of radiative corrections on these measurements, and will be important for the interpretation of future precise neutrino measurements.…”
