“…However, in most detectors the bulk of the fiducial mass stems from heavier nuclei, therefore nuclear effects are non-negligible. Many experiments use the Smith-Moniz formalism [24] to account for nuclear effects. Here, the nucleus is described as a Fermi gas of nucleons and two new parameters enter: the Fermi momentum k F and the binding energy E B .…”

Superbeam experiments can, in principle, achieve impressive sensitivities for CP violation in neutrino oscillations for large θ 13 . We study how those sensitivities depend on assumptions about systematical uncertainties. We focus on the second phase of T2K, the so-called T2HK experiment, and we explicitly include a near detector in the analysis. Our main result is that even an idealised near detector cannot remove the dependence on systematical uncertainties completely. Thus additional information is required. We identify certain combinations of uncertainties, which are the key to improve the sensitivity to CP violation, for example the ratio of electron to muon neutrino cross sections and efficiencies. For uncertainties on this ratio larger than 2%, T2HK is systematics dominated. We briefly discuss how our results apply to a possible two far detector configuration, called T2KK. We do not find a significant advantage with respect to the reduction of systematical errors for the measurement of CP violation for this setup.

“…The remaining nucleons can be treated as (non-interacting) spectators. This situation is realized in the Fermi gas model [11] where a full relativistic treatment of the hadronic weak vertex is included. The Fermi motion and the binding energy are characterized by parameters that can be determined from electron scattering experiments.…”

The methods used in the evaluation of the neutrino-nucleus cross section are reviewed. Results are shown for a variety of targets of practical importance. Many of the described reactions are accessible in future experiments with neutrino sources from the pion and muon decays at rest, which might be available at the neutron spallation facilities. Detailed comparison between the experimental and theoretical results would establish benchmarks needed for verification and/or parameter adjustment of the nuclear models. Having a reliable tool for such calculation is of great importance in a variety of applications, e.g. the neutrino oscillation studies, detection of supernova neutrinos, description of the neutrino transport in supernovae and description of the r-process nucleosynthesis.

The quasielastic charged-current (CC) tau neutrino (antineutrino)-nucleus scattering is considered. The dependence of tau polarization on nuclear-structure effects is discussed in detail. The description of the nucleus is based on the Mean-Field Theory (MFT). The ground state of nucleus is described using the Relativistic Fermi Gas model (FG). The effective mass is introduced as well as the ring Random Phase Approximation (RPA) effects are taken into account in the framework of relativistic meson-nucleon model. The Local Density Approximation (LDA) is used for the argon nucleus, having in mind possible application to the ICARUS experiment. The discussion concentrates on the threshold region where the τ − can be unpolarized and the nuclear effects play an important role.
