“…In short, doping of gadolinium compound and WbLS in principle makes neutrons and low energy charged hadrons to be visible by water Cherenkov detectors.

“…An equivalent approach with proton counting in LArTPC may be possible for the water Cherenkov detectors by counting neutrons.

Naïvely, in neutrino-neutron CCQE interaction one can expect there is no outgoing neutron.…”

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.

“…The ANL-MCPs allow fast timing, improved spatial resolution and have the potential to tile large surface areas at reasonable cost. This can lead to improved designs for future water Cherenkov [4,5] or liquid Argon [6] neutrino experiments. Simulations have shown [7] that measuring photon arrival space-time point with a resolution of 1 cm and 100 ps gives track and vertex reconstruction approaching a few cm and better neutrino energy resolution.…”

The Argonne micro-channel plate photomultiplier tube (MCP-PMT) is an offshoot of the Large Area Pico-second Photo Detector (LAPPD) project, wherein 6 × 6 cm 2 sized detectors are made at Argonne National Laboratory. Measurements of the properties of these detectors, including gain, time and spatial resolution, dark count rates, cross-talk and sensitivity to magnetic fields are reported. In addition, possible applications of these devices in future neutrino and collider physics experiments are discussed.

Recent measurements by the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment indicate that CP violation in neutrino mixing may be observed in the future by long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We propose an extension to the currently approved T2K running from 7.8 × 10 21 protons-on-target to 20 × 10 21 protons-on-target, aiming at initial observation of CP violation with 3 σ or higher significance for the case of maximum CP violation.
