Title:
"Understanding" Neutrino Cross Sections in Long Baseline Experiments
Abstract:
With long-baseline neutrino oscillation measurements entering the era of
precision measurements, it is becoming increasingly important to
understand the sources of systematic errors. One of the largest sources
to date has been neutrino interactions on medium-to-large A nuclei. This
seminar will explain which models are used in interaction simulations, how
they compare to data, and what types of improvements for better
understanding is needed for future analyses and experiments.
