Measurement of neutrino and antineutrino neutral-current quasielasticlike interactions on oxygen by detecting nuclear deexcitation γ rays

Abstract: Neutrino-and antineutrino-oxygen neutral-current quasielasticlike interactions are measured at Super-Kamiokande using nuclear deexcitation γ rays to identify signal-like interactions in data from a 14.94ð16.35Þ × 10 20 protons-on-target exposure of the T2K neutrino (antineutrino) beam. The measured flux-averaged cross sections on oxygen nuclei are hσ ν-NCQE i ¼ 1.70 AE 0.17ðstat:Þ þ0.51 −0.38 ðsyst:Þ × 10 −38 cm 2 =oxygen with a fluxaveraged energy of 0.82 GeV and hσ¯ν -NCQE i ¼ 0.98 AE 0.16ðstat:Þ þ0.26 −0.19… Show more

“…In the SRN search at SK, atmospheric neutrino backgrounds are classified into two as the neutral-current quasielastic (NCQE) interactions and the others (non-NCQE). NCQE interactions involve nuclear γ ray emission via primary neutrino and following neutron reactions (Abe et al 2019), which mimic the positron signal from IBD. Charged-current interactions of atmospheric electron antineutrinos give the exactly same final state as IBD.…”

“…On the other hand, we as-sume 30%, 20%, and 10% for HK 3 years, HK 5 years, and HK 10 years, respectively. 5 These are based on the expected efforts in accelerator neutrino and nuclear experiments as described in Abe et al (2019). In Abe et al (2021), the non-NCQE background was estimated by using the sideband region, whose uncertainty is then mostly statistical.…”

“…In this section, we will focus primarily on the benefits of blip sub-grouping for performing MeV-scale single γ-ray spectroscopy in LArTPC events. This technique could be valuable for different purposes, such as low-energy LArTPC calibration [8] or tagging of final-state nuclei produced in neutrino or BSM interactions [68].…”
