Benchmarking intra-nuclear cascade models for neutrino scattering with relativistic optical potentials

Alexis Nikolakopoulos, Raúl González-Jiménez, Natalie Jachowicz +3

The description of final-state interactions (FSI) in the large phase space probed in neutrino experiments poses a great challenge. In neutrino experiments, which operate under semi…

Neutrino energy reconstruction from semi-inclusive samples

R. González-Jiménez, M. B. Barbaro, J. A. Caballero +7

We study neutrino-nucleus charged-current reactions on finite nuclei for the situation in which an outgoing muon and a proton are detected in coincidence, i.e., we focus on semi-in…

Electron- versus neutrino-nucleus scattering

J. E. Amaro, M. B. Barbaro, J. A. Caballero +3

We illustrate the connection between electron and neutrino scattering off nuclei and show how the former process can be used to constrain the description of the latter. After revie…

Constraints in modeling the quasielastic response in inclusive lepton-nucleus scattering

R. González-Jiménez, M. B. Barbaro, J. A. Caballero +6

We show that the quasielastic (QE) response calculated with the SuSAv2 (superscaling approach) model, that relies on the scaling phenomenon observed in the analysis of (e,e') data…

Mean field and two-body nuclear effects in inclusive electron scattering on argon, carbon and titanium: the superscaling approach

M. B. Barbaro, J. A. Caballero, A. De Pace +3

We compare the predictions of the SuSAv2 model including two-particle two-hole meson-exchange currents with the recent JLab data for inclusive electron scattering on three differen…

Mean field approach to reconstructed neutrino energy distributions in accelerator-based experiments

Alexis Nikolakopoulos, Marco Martini, Magda Ericson +3

The reconstruction of the neutrino energy is crucial in oscillation experiments that use interactions with nuclei to detect the neutrino. The common reconstruction procedure is bas…
