Influence of cross-sectional uncertainty on sensitivity studies of DUNE and T2HK experiments

Abstract

The ultimate objectives of ongoing and upcoming neutrino experiments are the precise measurement of neutrino mixing parameters and the confirmation of mass hierarchy. The systematic inaccuracy in the cross-section models introduces inaccuracy in the neutrino mixing parameters estimation. It is important to secure a large decrease of uncertainties, particularly those relating to cross-section, neutrino-nucleus interactions, and neutrino-energy reconstruction, in order to achieve these ambitious goals. In this research article, we use three alternative neutrino event generators, GENIE, NuWro, and GiBUU, to analyze sensitivity studies of T2HK, DUNE, and combined sensitivity of DUNE, and T2HK for mass hierarchy, CP violation, and octant degeneracy caused by cross-section uncertainties. The cross-section models of these generators are separate and independent.
