Experimental status of neutrino scattering physics and needed measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Knowledge of neutrino interactions with a nuclear target at the neutrino energy around sub-GeV is recently getting more and more important as necessary information for accelerator based neutrino oscillation experiments. A study of neutrino interactions contains rich physics of neutrinos with nucleus, and is used to reveal the properties of neutrinos in the oscillation measurements. We review the recent neutrino scattering experiments addressing the physics of neutrino interactions with a nucleus. We list the recent unresolved problems in neutrino interactions, especially modeling of the quasi-elastic scattering process and the neutrino induced signle pion production process. We present the recent status and new results from the ν-scattering experiments: K2K, MiniBooNE, MINOS, SciBooNE, T2K and MINERνA. At the end, we summaries the future outlook.

Overview of progress in neutrino scattering measurements
Recent progress in neutrino scattering experiments with few GeV neutrino beams is reviewed, focusing on new experimental input since the beginning of the NuInt workshop series in 2001. Progress in neutrino quasi-elastic scattering, resonance production, coherent pion production, scattering in the transition region between the resonance and deep inelastic regimes, and nuclear effects in neutrino...
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Sections and Scattering Physics
Large flux uncertainties and small cross sections have made neutrino scattering physics a challenge. However, a worthwhile challenge, as these tiny particle interactions can teach us a lot about neutrinos themselves, the weak interaction, and nucleon structure. As well, knowledge of these cross sections is crucial input to the growing field of neutrino oscillation physics. New, intense, well un...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from neutrino electron scattering ?
Precision tests of the standard model are essential for constraining models of new physics. Neutrino–electron elastic scattering offers a clean probe into many electroweak effects that are complimentary to the more canonical measurements done at collider facilities. Such reactions are rare, even as compared with the already tiny cross-sections for neutrino–nucleon scattering, and competitive pr...

This study was performed in connection with the experiment planned by researchers from three institutions (Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and the All-Russia Research Institute for Experimental Physics) to look for the magnetic moment of the electron neutrino [1]. This experiment is presumed to study the spectra of energy deposited in a d...
متن کاملNeutrino Scattering Physics at Superbeams and Neutrino Factories
Neutrino scattering physics is discussed for investigating internal structure of the nucleon and nuclei at future neutrino facilities. We explain structure functions in neutrino scattering. In particular, there are new polarized functions g3, g4, and g5, and they should provide us important information for determining internal nucleon spin structure. Next, nuclear structure functions are discus...
