“…Micro-BooNE also detects neutrinos produced by Fermilab's NuMI beam [16]. The MicroBooNE detector is situated close to 8 • off axis with respect to the NuMI beamline, leading to a neutrino flux in the "medium energy" neutrino-mode configuration with a mean energy of 905 MeV and a composition of roughly 96% ν μ +ν μ and 4% ν e +ν e [20]. This enables high-statistics measurements of electron neutrino interactions.…”

Precise modeling of neutrino interactions on argon is crucial for the success of future experiments such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program, which will use liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology. Argon is a large nucleus, and nuclear effects—both on the initial and final-state particles in the interaction—are expected to be large in neutrino–argon interactions. Therefore, measurements of neutrino scattering cross sections on argon will be of particular importance to future DUNE and SBN oscillation measurements. This article presents a review of neutrino–argon interaction measurements from the MicroBooNE and ArgoNeuT collaborations, using two LArTPC detectors that have collected data in the NuMI and Booster Neutrino Beams at Fermilab. Measurements are presented of charged-current muon neutrino scattering in the inclusive channel, the ‘0$$\pi $$ π ’ channel (in which no pions but some number of protons may be produced), and single pion production (including production of both charged and neutral pions). Measurements of electron neutrino scattering are presented in the form of $$\nu _e+\bar{\nu }_e$$ ν e + ν ¯ e inclusive scattering cross sections.

“…Current and next generation precision neutrino oscillation experiments aim to probe CP violation in the lepton sector, the neutrino mass ordering, and physics beyond the Standard Model such as the existence of light sterile neutrinos [1,2] by measuring the oscillation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos. Hard-to-model nuclear effects in the neutrino-nucleus interaction affect these measurements, particularly for heavy target nuclei [3][4][5], and potentially sizable uncertainties on the ν e /ν µ cross section ratio [6,7] reduce the strength of constraining ν e interactions with ν µ s. Independent direct measurements of electron-neutrino cross sections are scarce [8][9][10], yet they are crucial to further inform our understanding of different flavor neutrino interactions.…”
