“…The near detector complex is consisted of multiple detectors, including 1 kton water Cherenkov detector and the vertex detector of the plastic scintillation fiber tracker "SciFi" 1 [69] which was later replaced with the extruded plastic scintillator tracker "SciBar" [70]. Although data from the water Cherenkov detector (H 2 O) was important for the oscillation physics [71], most of the neutrino interaction data are from tracker measurements [72][73][74]. Among them, SciBar analysis demonstrates that the measurement of energy deposits around the interaction vertex, the so called "vertex activity", is a useful variable, especially to select coherent scattering events [75].…”

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.

“…Resonant pion production can be larger than its coherent counterpart and is modelled in GENIE by the Rein-Sehgal model [68]. Its CC version was measured by MiniBooNE [60], K2K [69], MINOS [32], and MINERνA [30]. In the latter measurement one can clearly see the large number of events with undetected protons.…”

Neutrino trident scattering is a rare Standard Model process where a chargedlepton pair is produced in neutrino-nucleus scattering. To date, only the dimuon final-state has been observed, with around 100 total events, while the other channels are as yet unexplored. In this work, we compute the trident production cross section by performing a complete four-body phase space calculation for different hadronic targets. This provides a correct estimate both of the coherent and the diffractive contributions to these cross sections, but also allows us to address certain inconsistencies in the literature related to the use of the Equivalent Photon Approximation in this context. We show that this approximation can give a reasonable estimate only for the production of dimuon final-states in coherent scattering, being inadmissible for all other cases considered. We provide estimates of the number and distribution of trident events at several current and future near detector facilities subjected to intense neutrino beams from accelerators: five liquid-argon detectors (SBND, µBooNE, ICARUS, DUNE and νSTORM), the iron detector of T2K (INGRID) and three detectors made of composite material (MINOS, NOνA and MINERνA). We find that for many experiments, trident measurements are an attainable goal and a valuable addition to their near detector physics programme.

“…The energy dependence of these effects is the same between CC and NC production. While ν μ CC with an associated π 0 has been previously studied on deuterium by bubble chamber experiments [5][6][7][8], on freon [9], and on carbon [10][11][12][13], it has never been measured on heavier targets. This article reports the first measurement of ν μ CC single π 0 production on argon using an inclusive final-state topology of at least one photon coming from a π 0 decay in addition to a muon, both exiting the target nucleus.…”

We report the first measurement of the flux-integrated cross section of ν μ charged-current single π 0 production on argon. This measurement is performed with the MicroBooNE detector, an 85 ton active mass liquid argon time projection chamber exposed to the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. This result on argon is compared to past measurements on lighter nuclei to investigate the scaling assumptions used in models of the production and transport of pions in neutrino-nucleus scattering. The techniques used are an important demonstration of the successful reconstruction and analysis of neutrino interactions producing electromagnetic final states using a liquid argon time projection chamber operating at the Earth's surface.
