Measurement of the Multi-Neutron Charged Current Differential Cross Section at Low Available Energy on Hydrocarbon

A. Olivier, T. Cai, S. Akhter +58

Neutron production in antineutrino interactions can lead to bias in energy reconstruction in neutrino oscillation experiments, but these interactions have rarely been studied. MINE…

Measurement of Electron Neutrino and Antineutrino Cross Sections at Low Momentum Transfer

S. Henry, H. Su, S. Akhter +53

Accelerator based neutrino oscillation experiments seek to measure the relative number of electron and muon neutrinos and antineutrinos at different values. However high stat…

Searching for solar KDAR with DUNE

DUNE Collaboration, A. Abed Abud, B. Abi +1174

The observation of 236 MeV muon neutrinos from kaon-decay-at-rest (KDAR) originating in the core of the Sun would provide a unique signature of dark matter annihilation. Since exce…
