“…At Q 2 0.5 GeV 2 DIS dominates. Thus, MINERvA is an ideal experiment to explore pion production [67,68] and DIS [69,70] (which mostly contributes also to pion production), the two dominant components of the cross section. In particular our understanding of the theoretically difficult transition from the resonance-dominated to the DISdominated energy region could be improved significantly in experiments such as NOvA or MINERvA.…”

Background: Long-baseline experiments such as the planned Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) require theoretical descriptions of the complete event in a neutrino-nucleus reaction. Since nuclear targets are used this requires a good understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions.Purpose: Develop a consistent theory and code framework for the description of lepton-nucleus interactions that can be used to describe not only inclusive cross sections, but also the complete final state of the reaction. Methods:The Giessen-Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (GiBUU) implementation of quantum-kinetic transport theory is used, with improvements in its treatment of the nuclear ground state and of 2p2h interactions. For the latter an empirical structure function from electron scattering data is used as a basis.Results: Results for electron-induced inclusive cross sections are given as a necessary check for the overall quality of this approach. The calculated neutrino-induced inclusive double-differential cross sections show good agreement data from neutrino-and antineutrino reactions for different neutrino flavors at MiniBooNE and T2K. Inclusive double-differential cross sections for MicroBooNE, NOvA, MINERvA and LBNF/DUNE are given. Conclusions:Based on the GiBUU model of lepton-nucleus interactions a good theoretical description of inclusive electron-, neutrino-and antineutrino-nucleus data over a wide range of energies, different neutrino flavors and different experiments is now possible. Since no tuning is involved this theory and code should be reliable also for new energy regimes and target masses.

“…The latter used the T2K near detector, INGRID, to measure a flux-averaged CC inclusive cross section at a mean energy of 1.51 GeV, where the rms spread of the neutrino energy was 0.76 GeV (0.84 GeV) below (above) this mean energy. The MINERνA experiment also measured the CC inclusive cross section on iron, but only the cross-section ratio of iron to CH has been published [3]. The CC inclusive cross section on iron has not yet been measured in the 2-3 GeV energy range, and a measurement covering 1-3 GeV would provide a consistency check between the T2K and MINOS results.…”

We report a measurement of the ν μ -nucleus inclusive charged-current cross section (¼ σ cc ) on iron using data from the INGRID detector exposed to the J-PARC neutrino beam. The detector consists of 14 modules in total, which are spread over a range of off-axis angles from 0°to 1.1°. The variation in the neutrino energy spectrum as a function of the off-axis angle, combined with event topology information, is used to calculate this cross section as a function of neutrino energy. The cross section is measured to be σ cc ð1.1 GeVÞ ¼ 1.10 AE 0.15 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, σ cc ð2.0 GeVÞ ¼ 2.07 AE 0.27 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, and σ cc ð3.3 GeVÞ ¼ 2.29 AE 0.45 ð10 −38 cm 2 =nucleonÞ, at energies of 1.1, 2.0, and 3.3 GeV, respectively. These results are consistent with the cross section calculated by the neutrino interaction generators currently used by T2K. More importantly, the method described here opens up a new way to determine the energy dependence of neutrino-nucleus cross sections.

“…The measurement complements other MINERvA QE-like studies that look in detail at the hadronic component of the final state [11] and that study neutrino interaction cross sections as a function of nuclear mass [12,13].…”

We present double-differential measurements of antineutrino charged-current quasielastic scattering in the MINERvA detector. This study improves on a previous single-differential measurement by using updated reconstruction algorithms and interaction models and provides a complete description of observed muon kinematics in the form of a double-differential cross section with respect to muon transverse and longitudinal momentum. We include in our signal definition zero-meson final states arising from multinucleon interactions and from resonant pion production followed by pion absorption in the primary
