A simulation model investigation of neutron-oxygen inelastic scattering and subsequent nucleus deexcitation based on experimental data
read the original abstract
The nuclear interaction model plays an essential role in understanding neutrino-nucleus interactions in large-scale neutrino detectors. For example, in the Super-Kamiokande experiment, systematic uncertainties regarding atmospheric neutrino interactions on oxygen limit the sensitivity to some physics studies, such as the diffuse supernova neutrino background search. Reduction of such uncertainties necessitates an accurate modeling of nuclear reactions and subsequent nuclear deexcitation. For this purpose, a detailed study was performed by comparing various combinations of simulation models with the newly released neutron experimental data. From this study, it is found that the combination of INCL++ and NucDeEx implemented in a Geant4-based simulation shows a better agreement with the experimental data. The presented result will be referred to improve the future physics studies at neutrino detectors, including the current focus of Super-Kamiokande.

Search for Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background with 956.2 days of Super-Kamiokande Gadolinium Dataset
No significant diffuse supernova neutrino background signal was found in 956.2 days of SK-Gd data; new 90% upper limits were set on the astrophysical electron antineutrino flux.
