Inclusive electron scattering and the genie neutrino event generator

نویسندگان

چکیده

The extraction of neutrino mixing parameters from accelerator-based oscillation experiments relies on proper modeling neutrino-nucleus scattering processes using neutrino-interaction event generators. Experimental tests these generators are difficult due to the broad range energies produced in beams and low statistics current experiments. Here we overcome difficulties by exploiting similarity electron interactions with nuclei test high-precision inclusive data. To this end, revised electron-scattering mode GENIE generator ($e$-GENIE) include electron-nucleus bremsstrahlung radiation effects use, when relevant, exact same physics models model parameters, as standard neutrino-scattering version. We also implemented new for quasielastic (QE) meson exchange currents (MEC) based theory-inspired SuSAv2 approach. Comparing $e$-GENIE predictions data, find an overall adequate description data QE- MEC-dominated lower energy transfer regime, especially models. Higher transfer-interactions, which dominated resonance production, still not well modeled $e$-GENIE.

Neutrino Oscillations and Neutrino - Electron Scattering

One expects that, in general, neutral-current processes will be completely unaffected by the oscillation of neutrinos among their various possible flavors (v , v , v ses presumably preserve neufring f&ii, >. After all, these procesand are independent of that flavor. Thus, oscillation of neutrinos from one flavor to another will not change any neutral-current cross sections. Indeed, even if the ...

Influence of the nuclear medium on inclusive electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei

We present a model for inclusive electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei paying special attention to the influence of in-medium effects on the quasielastic scattering and pion-production mechanisms. Our results for electron scattering off 16O are compared to experimental data at beam energies ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 GeV. The good description of electron scattering serves as a benchmark for ...

Electron-and Neutrino-nucleus Scattering

I review the main features of the nuclear response extracted from electron scattering data. The emerging picture clearly shows that the shell model does not provide a fully quantitative description of nuclear dynamics. On the other hand, many body approaches in which correlation effetcs are explicitely taken into account lead to a satisfactory account of electron scattering observables. The pos...

Simulations from a new neutrino event generator

We construct a new Monte Carlo generator of events for neutrino interactions. The dynamical models for quasielastic reactions, ∆ excitation and more inelastic events described by the DIS formalism with the PDFs modified according to recent JLab data are used. We describe in detail single pion production channels, which combine the ∆ excitation and DIS contribution. Many comparisons of the outco...

Measurement of electron-neutrino electron elastic scattering

The cross section for the elastic scattering reaction νe + e − → νe + e was measured by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector using a μ decay-at-rest νe beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The standard model of electroweak physics predicts a large destructive interference between the charge current and neutral current channels for this reaction. The measured cross section, σνee− ...
