“…M RES several model parameters were tuned to neutrino scattering data on hydrogen and deuterium targets [50]. The G18 10 model sets use a local Fermi gas (LFG) nuclear model and the Nieves models for CCQE [26] and 2p2h [26,28].…”

“…DIS processes are handled in GENIE with a mix of Bodek-Yang [56], a special fragmentation model [15], and Pythia [40]. The transition between resonance and DIS processes comes at a cutoff value of W which is part of the singlenucleon fit [50]; the value for model sets used here is 1.93 GeV. However, the Bodek-Yang model is valid for all energies above the πN threshold and is used (scaled to neutrino-hydrogen and neutrino-deuterium scattering data) for nonresonant processes below the cutoff value.…”

“…There are differences in strategy; for instance NuWro favors the CC1π+1p for its tuning whereas NEUT tries to tune to all the data and inflates uncertainties accordingly. GENIE [50] also does a fit to all available data with different choices. NuWro, GENIE, and NEUT are tuned to ANL and BNL bubble chamber data [39,118].…”

A set of comparisons among neutrino interaction experiments (MiniBooNE, MINERvA, T2K, and MicroBooNE) is presented. This gives a broad view of the field of neutrino-nucleus interactions. The emphasis is on charged current inclusive, quasielastic-like, and pion production experiments. Measurements are compared in new ways. Comparisons of recent data with available event generator codes are made more comprehensively than is regularly found in most previous publications. Generator studies show sensitivities for experimental model dependence. Efficiencies calculated with different generators are presented in a novel way. A comparison of different forward folding techniques is also presented.

“…The AGKY model [41,42] is used to connect models in the shallow-inelastic scattering (SIS) region [43,44] smoothly, from the baryonic resonance to DIS, and low W to high W hadronization models. The physics in this region, in particular QE and RES dominant energy region, is an active research field and many systematic errors are developed by others [45][46][47], but for the DeepCore analysis DIS is the dominant channel. Neutrino SIS-DIS events show large data-model discrepancy [48] in nuclear target and this is not understood.…”

Neutrino telescopes can observe neutrino interactions starting at GeV energies by sampling a small fraction of the Cherenkov radiation produced by charged secondary particles. These experiments instrument volumes massive enough to collect substantial samples of neutrinos up to the TeV scale as well as small samples at the PeV scale. This unique ability of neutrino telescopes has been exploited to study the properties of neutrino interactions across energies that cannot be accessed with man-made beams. Here, we present the methods and results obtained by IceCube, the most mature neutrino telescope in operation, and offer a glimpse of what the future holds in this field.

“…The largest difference between these versions is the addition of meson-exchange current (MEC) interactions (also known as 2p2h or multinucleon interactions) in v2.12. Data are additionally compared to GENIE v3.0 [8] predictions, which include a number of theoretical updates, as well as NuWro [9], GiBUU [10], and NEUT [1,11]. Care must be taken when interpreting comparisons of data to predictions, as the newer data are generally compared to newer simulations.…”

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.

Neutrino-nucleon cross-section model tuning in GENIE v3

Abstract: Cross-section measurements of the CC0π topology were carried out by SciBooNE [23], , MiniBooNE [25,26], T2K ND280 [27], MINERvA [28][29][30] and MicroBooNE [31,32]. This section provides with a review of neutrino-nucleus CC0π data available to date.
