“…We also note that the recent NOνA results [53] found a discrepancy between the hadronic energy distribution observed at the near detector and their GENIE simulation. There were more events in data where the hadronic system had less recoil, and fewer with high recoil, compared to the GENIE prediction.…”

The longstanding discrepancy between bubble chamber measurements of ν μ -induced single pion production channels has led to large uncertainties in pion production cross section parameters for many years. We extend the reanalysis of pion production data in deuterium bubble chambers where this discrepancy is solved (Wilkinson et al., PRD 90, 112017 2014) to include the ν μ n → μ − pπ 0 and ν μ n → μ − nπ + channels, and use the resulting data to fit the parameters of the GENIE pion production model. We find a set of parameters that can describe the bubble chamber data better than the GENIE default parameters, and provide updated central values and reduced uncertainties for use in neutrino oscillation and cross section analyses which use the GENIE model. We find that GENIE's non-resonant background prediction has to be significantly reduced to fit the data, which may help to explain the recent discrepancies between simulation and data observed by the MINERνA coherent pion and NOνA oscillation analyses.

“…Existence of neutrino mass and mixing requires the extension of the SM. Neutrino oscillations have now been established at a very high confidence level by many outstanding experimental observations by experiments such as SNO [3] (solar neutrino experiment), KamLand [4] (reactor neutrino experiment), Daya Bay [5], RENO [6], Double Chooz [7] (reactor neutrino experiments with short baselines), NOνA [10,11] (accelerator neutrino experiments). At present for normal (inverted) mass ordering scenarios, the best fit values [12] , where we use the notation given in [12].…”

The observation of neutrino masses, mixing and the existence of dark matter are amongst the most important signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this paper, we propose to extend the SM by a local L µ −L τ gauge symmetry, two additional complex scalars and three right-handed neutrinos. The L µ − L τ gauge symmetry is broken spontaneously when one of the scalars acquires a vacuum expectation value. The L µ − L τ gauge symmetry is known to be anomaly free and can explain the beyond SM measurement of the anomalous muon (g − 2) through additional contribution arising from the extra Z µτ mediated diagram. Small neutrino masses are explained naturally through the Type-I seesaw mechanism, while the mixing angles are predicted to be in their observed ranges due to the broken L µ − L τ symmetry. The second complex scalar is shown to be stable and becomes the dark matter candidate in our model. We show that while the Z µτ portal is ineffective for the parameters needed to explain the anomalous muon (g − 2) data, the correct dark matter relic abundance can easily be obtained from annihilation through the Higgs portal. Annihilation of the scalar dark matter in our model can also explain the Galactic Centre gamma ray excess observed by Fermi-LAT. We show the predictions of our model for future direct detection experiments and neutrino oscillation experiments.
