Interplay between final-state nucleon distortion, nuclear transparency and intranuclear cascade models in neutrino event generators
R. González-Jiménez, A. Nikolakopoulos, J. McKean +7
We present an overview of the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA) for lepton-nucleus scattering, with emphasis on its use as an elementary-vertex model in eve…
Electromagnetic responses induced by one- and two-body nuclear currents in inclusive electron-nucleus scattering
Kajetan Niewczas, Ashish Kumar Jha, Raúl González-Jiménez +3
The longitudinal and transverse nuclear response functions encode information about the electromagnetic behavior of the nuclear target probed in inclusive electron-nucleus scatteri…
Azimuthal asymmetry in exclusive quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus interactions
Marco Vanderpoorten, Ashish Kumar Jha, Mathias El Baz +3
In neutrino oscillation experiments, exclusive measurements of neutrino-nucleus interactions play a critical role, by providing the theoretical and experimental input needed for a…
Optimizing the description of the Delta region in the Ghent Hybrid model for single-pion production
M. Hooft, A. Nikolakopoulos, J. García-Marcos +5
Single-pion production is an important contribution to the total neutrino-nucleus interaction cross section in accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiments. The goal of this…
Electron-induced single-pion production to constrain the neutron structure in Ar. A proof of concept
J. García-Marcos, M. Hooft, T. Franco-Munoz +5
We study electron-induced single-pion production as a way to constrain the neutron structure of Ar, information that is necessary for neutrino experiments using argon detect…
Final-state interactions in neutrino-induced proton knockout from argon in MicroBooNE
A. Nikolakopoulos, A. Ershova, R. González-Jiménez +5
Neutrino event generators make use of intranuclear cascade models (INCs), to predict the kinematics of hadrons produced in neutrino-nucleus interactions. We perform a consistent co…
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…
Modeling neutrino-nucleus interaction at intermediate energies
R. González-Jiménez, N. Jachowicz, A. Nikolakopoulos +5
We present the current status of the research activities of the Ghent group on neutrino-nucleus interactions. These consist in the modeling of some of the relevant neutrino-nucleus…
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…
Electron versus muon neutrino induced cross sections in charged current quasi-elastic processes
Alexis Nikolakopoulos, Natalie Jachowicz, Nils Van Dessel +4
Differences between and quasielastic cross sections are essential in neutrino oscillation analyses and CP violation searches for experiments such as DUNE and T2HK. The…
Modeling neutrino-induced charged pion production on water at T2K kinematics
Alexis Nikolakopoulos, Raúl González-Jiménez, Kajetan Niewczas +2
Pion production is a significant component of the signal in accelerator-based neutrino experiments. Over the last years, the MiniBooNE, T2K and MINERvA collaborations have reported…
Pion production within the hybrid relativistic plane wave impulse approximation model at MiniBooNE and MINERvA kinematics
R. González-Jiménez, K. Niewczas, N. Jachowicz
The hybrid model for electroweak single-pion production (SPP) off the nucleon, presented in [González-Jiménez et al., Phys. Rev. D 95, 113007 (2017)], is extended here to the case…

R. González-Jiménez, N. Jachowicz, K. Niewczas +4
[Background] Neutrino-induced single-pion production (SPP) provides an important contribution to neutrino-nucleus interactions, ranging from intermediate to high energies. There ex…
